"The memories of some people I will never forget are the ones that directly or indirectly influenced my life in this book. The personalities I described in this book include Indian presidents, movie stars, chief ministers and writers. - P.A RAMACHANDRAN This book carries poetic language, authentic presentation, and accurate descriptions of several events. In it, we observe sights from almost six decades ago. Chaliyar River and its abuse come across as an ever-present undercurrent in this book. We get to read about the pollution of that river and the actions against the Gwalior Rayons who defiled the river. Many of these are things that no one has revealed in the public sphere to date. As Ramachandran was the Regional Engineer in the Pollution Control Board back then, he was well aware of these issues political and bureaucratic plots. - THAMPI ANTHONY"
The twelve essays collected in Pockets of Change locate adaptation within a framework of two overlapping, if not simultaneous, creative processes: on the one hand, adaptation is to be understood as an acknowledged transposition of an existing source-that is, the process of adapting from; on the other hand, adaption is also a process of purposeful shifting and evolving of creative practices in response to external factors, including but not limited to other creative works-in other words, the process of adapting to. This book explores adaptation, then, as an active practice of repetition and as a reactive process of development or evolution. The essays also extend beyond the production, transf...

The theory of the sick lobe states that breast carcinoma is a lobar disease developing most often within a single lobe, meaning that, at an early stage, breast carcinoma occupies a limited, anatomically well-defined portion of the breast. This theory unites observed patterns from the genetic, developmental and morphological perspectives, into an overall concept. Breast Cancer: A Lobar Disease, presents this hypothesis and its consequences. The body of evidence, pro and contra, generated in recent years will be presented in this volume. The chapters, all authored by leading experts in their respective areas, gather evidence from the perspectives of epidemiology, genetics, radiology, anatomy, ...
This volume discusses major areas of primary concern for the understanding of the complexity associated with ecological trace element research. These include sources and fates of trace elements; analytical techniques; and the distribution of trace elements in biota and soil and sediment reservoirs. Case studies, field work and laboratory studies intensively discussed in this volume are useful to enhance our knowledge about processes related to the biological response of trace metal stress under realistic environmental conditions.

The author, M K K Nayar's impressionable childhood, schooling and university years began in early 1920s - the most turbulent period of India's independence struggle.

It is in circulation in the village of Mummara that some sorcerers were burnt alive in a hut in the suburbs of that village as they were doing atrocities on the villagers, later the spirits of the sorcerers were buried and spell-bounded under the earth as they continued their atrocities on the villagers, by another sorcerer who had been brought from a faraway place. It was part of that story that the spells would hold the spirits only for a period of hundred years and there was a chance that they become spell free at anytime during the period of hundred years also. All the villagers and the present village chief Kodandapani were also feeling fear as there were strange incidents happening in ...
They all have entered into that old palace, in the suburbs of that small village, just at the beginning of a tiny forest, with an expectation of just entertainment and fun. But the unknown fear, the uneasiness which greeted them as soon as they stepped into it was quite unexpected. The psychologist Susmitha’s repeated saying that it was quite natural to feel in such a way in an odd palace in a faraway place to their usual dwellings did not have much effect on them. The situation became too complex when Susmitha herself started confusing and baffled when she too subjected to that unknown fear and uneasiness. They could not know whether the ghastly experiences they were having in that palace...
