The Postcolonial World presents an overview of the field and
extends critical debate in exciting new directions. It provides an
important and timely reappraisal of postcolonialism as an
aesthetic, political, and historical movement, and of postcolonial
studies as a multidisciplinary, transcultural field. Essays map the
terrain of the postcolonial as a global phenomenon at the
intersection of several disciplinary inquiries. Framed by an
introductory chapter and a concluding essay, the eight sections
examine: Affective, Postcolonial Histories Postcolonial Desires
Religious Imaginings Postcolonial Geographies and Spatial Practices
Human Rights and Postcolonial Conflicts Postcolonial Cultures and
Digital Humanities Ecocritical Inquiries in Postcolonial Studies
Postcolonialism versus Neoliberalism The Postcolonial World looks
afresh at re-emerging conditions of postcoloniality in the
twenty-first century and draws on a wide range of representational
strategies, cultural practices, material forms, and affective
affiliations. The volume is an essential reading for scholars and
students of postcolonialism.
What does it mean to inhabit the life of liturgy? What does it mean
to be inhabited by Christ? This book offers a way to rethink what
we do when we pray, so that we do not so much call on God for help
but join in a conversation. Readers will learn how to think about
God through certain habits and practices: how posture effects our
perceptions of God and Christ, how feasting on Christ in the
Eucharist shapes our understanding of the body-both our individual
bodies and the body of the Church. The author also offers tools for
forming a deliberate rule of life to ground readers in the
transcendent life of liturgy. Readers will recognize the
inseparability of the tables of their homes and the Eucharistic
Table, relating daily life with Eucharistic life. Dr. Daniel
connects the language of the Book of Common Prayer with the
everyday realities of ordinary life, compelling the worshiper to
discern how daily practices correspond with or fight against her
participation in the Eucharistic economy.

The focus of the present edition has been to further consolidate
the information on the principles of plant systematic, include
detailed discussion on all major systems of classification, and
significantly, also include discussion on the selected families of
vascular plants, without sacrificing the discussion on basic
principles. The families included for discussion are largely those
which have wide representation, as also those that are less known
but significant in evaluating the phylogeny of angiosperms. The
discussion of the families also has a considerable focus on their
phylogenetic relationships, as evidenced by recent cladistic
studies, with liberal citation of molecular data. Several
additional families have been included for detailed discussion in
the present volume.
Streptococci are Gram-positive bacteria that cause a wide spectrum
of diseases, such as pharyngitis, necrotizing fasciitis and
streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, as well as rheumatic fever and
rheumatic heart disease as sequelae. Antibiotics alone have not
been able to control the disease and in spite of many efforts an
effective vaccine is not yet available. A prerequisite for novel
and successful strategies for combating these bacteria is a
complete understanding of the highly complex pathogenic mechanisms
involved, which are analyzed in this volume. In ten chapters,
prominent authors cover various aspects including streptococcal
diseases and global burden, epidemiology, adaptation and
transmission, and molecular mechanisms of different diseases, as
well as sequelae, vaccine development and clinical management. This
book will serve as a valuable reference work for scientists,
students, clinicians and public health workers and provide new
approaches to meeting the challenge of streptococcal diseases.

'G. Singh's cleanly read monography gives testimony to Pound's
sense of criticism.' - Ian Bell, Times Higher Education Supplement
'Pound's criticism is as important to modern poetry as his own
poetry. There is no book dealing with his criticism, either in
England or in Italy, which presents it so lucidly and so
convincingly as Singh's does.' Carlo Bo Examining with Pound's
literary criticism as a whole, this new study discusses his
critical tenets and concepts as well as his critical evaluations of
Arnaut Daniel, Dante, Cavalcanti, Villon, Chaucer, Shakespeare,
Milton, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, Yeats, Joyce, T.S. Eliot and
Wyndham Lewis. Singh also comments analytically on Pound's critical
credo, his poetics of imagism, his letters in criticism, his theory
and craft of poetic translation and his views on modern French
poets and prose writers. The conclusion is followed by a selection
of Poundian maxims and aphorisms.

There are no limits to science. Each advance merely widens the
sphere of exploration. Many a times the operator is confronted with
situations where direct restoration are not feasible nor advisable
because of extensive loss of tooth structure and /or need to modify
or change the present occlusion . Keeping teeth is important for
many functions, such as eating and speech, whilst in our present
society good esthetics are a high priority for the majority of
people. Dental care must also be designed to prevent any future
problems and to help to maintain this healthy environment. This
area of dentistry crosses many of the traditional departments that
exist in teaching hospitals throughout the world and includes the
disciplines of peridontology, operative dentistry, endodontics,
fixed and removable prosthodontics.

Featuring twenty one newly-commissioned essays, "A Companion to the
Global Renaissance: English Literature and Culture in the Era of
Expansion" demonstrates how today's globalization is the result of
a complex and lengthy historical process that had its roots in
England's mercantile and cross-cultural interactions of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. An innovative collection that
interrogates the global paradigm of our period and offers a new
history of globalization by exploring its influences on English
culture and literature of the early modern period.Moves beyond
traditional notions of Renaissance history mainly as a revival of
antiquity and presents a new perspective on England's mercantile
and cross-cultural interactions with the New and Old Worlds of the
Americas, Africa, and the East, as well with Northern
Europe.Illustrates how twentieth-century globalization was the
result of a lengthy and complex historical process linked to the
emergence of capitalism and colonialismExplores vital topics such
as East-West relations and Islam; visual representations of
cultural 'others'; gender and race struggles within the new
economies and cultures; global drama on the cosmopolitan English
stage, and many more
This text critically evaluates the conventional reading of
ethnicity and ethnic conflict in contemporary Indian politics. By
focusing on India's nation and state building in the peripheral
regions since 1947, in particular Punjab, it argues that there is a
case for considering India as an ethnic democracy. The long term
development of ethno nationalist separatist movements and the
future character of Indian democracy is assessed in light of the
challenge posed by the rise of "Hindutva" forces, the demise of the
Nehruvian state, and the internal political and economic pressures
towards regionalization.
Now available in paperback, Shakespeare and Postcolonial Theory is
an up-to-date guide to contemporary debates in postcolonial studies
and how these shape our understanding of Shakespeare's politics and
poetics. Taking a historical perspective, it covers early modern
discourses of colonialism, 'race', gender and globalization,
through to contemporary intercultural appropriations and global
adaptations of Shakespeare. Showing how the dialogue between
Shakespeare criticism and postcolonial studies has evolved, this
book offers a critical vocabulary that connects contemporary and
early modern cultural struggles. Shakespeare and Postcolonial
Theory also provides guides to further reading and online resources
which make this an essential resource for students and scholars of
Shakespeare.
CLOUD AND IOT-BASED VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORKS This book details the
architecture behind smart cars being fitted and connected with
vehicular cloud computing, IoT and VANET as part of the intelligent

In this first detailed and comprehensive account of Leopardi's
theory of poetry, G. Singh assesses both the literary and critical
attainments of a poet whose eminence ranks him with Dante and
Petrarch. Singh's analysis, which employs extensive reference to
Leopardi's work in order to illustrate the author's own comments,
sets forth Leopardi's views on the larger questions of tradition,
inspiration, and the imagination in poetry. Later chapters are
concerned with the more specific matters of the poetic image,
style, and language.

of electrochemical reactor performance and others.
This third volume of Q. D. Leavis's essays brings together pieces
on hitherto unexplored aspects of Victorian literature. Most of
these date from towards the end of her life and are previously
unpublished. There are also essays and reviews which appeared
originally in Scrutiny. Mrs Leavis focuses on the novel of
religious controversy, the Anglo-Irish novel, women writers of the
nineteenth century, and certain aspects of George Eliot's work. She
examines these, and other relevant writing, from literary,
historical and sociological points of view. The volume affords
valuable new insights into nineteenth-century literature, and
affirms Mrs Leavis's standing as a pioneering and penetrating
critic.
Since the arrival of Ugandan Asians in 1972, Leicester has become
the location of one of the most thriving Asian communities in
Britain. A history of Asians in Leicester and the city's
transformation from a prosperous East Midlands market town to the
leading multicultural city in Europe. This title chronicles the
lives of Asian settlers - their work, leisure and housing as well
as environmental impact, festivals, religious institutions and the
arts. The experience of ordinary members of the Asian community,
such as barbers, industrial workers, teahcers, women's groups and
shopkeepers as well as businessmen, broadcasters and doctors are
recorded. This visual record will be of interest to anyone
interested in race, politics and local history.
This volume gathers together some of F. R. Leavis's earliest work
with the things he was working on before his death, as well as a
representative sample of pieces reflecting the concerns he
developed throughout his writing life. This material, from the
whole span of a long writing career, shows both the continuity of
his pre-occupations and important respects in which his judgements
changed. In an introductory essay Professor Singh discusses each
piece and relates it to the development of Leavis's ideas. The
reader can trace his concern for standards of critical valuation as
it evolved through studies of T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, William
Empson, George Eliot, Henry James, W. B. Yeats, I. A. Richards and
others. Leavis's well-known reflections on Marxism are also
included.
