Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2016EcoGothic
by Elisabeth Bronfen, William Hughes, Andrew Smith, Steven Bruhm, Ken Gelder, Jerrold Hogle, Avril Horner, William Hughes
This book will provide the first study of how the Gothic engages with ecocritical ideas. Ecocriticism has frequently explored images of environmental catastrophe, the wilderness, the idea of home, constructions of 'nature', and images of the post-apocalypse - images which are also central to a certain type of Gothic literature. By exploring the relationship between the ecocritical aspects of the Gothic and the Gothic elements of the ecocritical, this book provides a new way of looking at both the Gothic and ecocriticism. Writers discussed include Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood, Margaret Atwood, Cormac McCarthy, Dan Simmons and Rana Dasgupta. The volume thus explores writing and film across various national contexts including Britain, America and Canada, as well as giving due consideration to how such issues might be discussed within a global context.

January 2018The Andalusian Philosophers (Cairo )
by Abdelrashid Mahmoudi
Written by an Egyptian poet, novelist and essayist, The Andalusian Philosophers is an innovative essay that deals for the first time with three major philosophers in Muslim Spain, namely Ibn Baja (Avimpace), Ibn Tufayl () and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) from one particular angle, namely the alienation of philosophy and philosophers in (Muslim) society. Condemned in the Muslim East for heresy, philosophy is now vindicated, in what was in fact a last ditch stand, by the three Andalusian philosophers. Their endeavour was all the more remarkable in that each one of them engaged in that fight in his own original way. Ibn Baja who was inspired by Plato, devoted to the subject a treatise on what he called the management of solitude, describing how a philosopher could best manage his affairs and accomplish his mission in a hostile environment by either immigrating or isolating himself his own society. Ibn Tufayl on the other hand wrote a symbolic fable, in which he portrayed what amounted to be an extreme case of philosophers’ alienation. This is the story of a human baby found somehow in an uninhabited island, where he was adopted by a deer and brought up among wild animals, and yet managing through his observation of natural phenomena in the light of reason to reach the highest level of knowledge, piety and wisdom. When he finally came in contact with human beings, who happened to be a community of believers, presumably adepts of Islam, he was rejected and forced to beat retreat to his original island. Finally, there came Averroes, whose arrival on the scene inaugurated a new chapter of exceptional importance in the history of ideas. He refused his predecessors’ pessimistic and escapist views on the fate of philosophy. He decided instead to wage an open and all out war against the enemies of reason, with a view to consolidating philosophy’s leading status in the City. This heroic stance lead unfortunately to what was called Averroes’ ordeal. He was condemned as a heretic, exiled and had his works burnt down. Luckily, however, the bulk of his oeuvre was transmitted to Medieval Europe in a Latin translation. In this second exile, Averroes was glorified for a while by some as the Grand Commentator (of Aristotle), but was finally reviled and diabolised by the church authorities: and it was this bad reputation which came to dominate the European intellectual scene for centuries. At this point in the story of the Andalusian philosophers, there arise some inescapable questions: why was Averroes condemned for what he had put forward as an account of Aristotle’s views? Why was he held responsible for these views, assumed to be reprehensible? How was it that the grand commentator came to be viewed as the devil incarnate and pushed back into a dark corner of the European collective memory? Why was he never completely rehabilitated even in the modern age of reason?By studying these questions in depth, The Andalusian Philosophers purports to show that in spite of European hostility to Averroes his influence runs deep in modern Western philosophy. He was, so the argument goes, the first to raise, in an acute form, two fundamental issues, namely the existence of individuals and the independence of science. Apart from being a story about the persecution of philosophers and their different ways of coping, the book demonstrates, by means of a thorough and well-documented investigation of Averroes’ fate in Europe, how intercultural antagonisms do not necessarily preclude mutual enrichment.

Geography & the EnvironmentJanuary 2011Numerical Methods and Models in Earth Science
by Parthasarathi Ghosh
"Understanding earth systems and its dynamic behavior requires objective insights into the complex observational data sets and their interrelationships. Drawing meaningful inferences from such data is not always an easy task as the deterministic relationships between various geological variables often remain obscured. These interrelationships need to be determined empirically through the analysis of a large set of data and validated through numerical simulations. The ever widening horizon of techniques of numerical analysis and simulation now provides a good number of tools to aid the interpretation. However, due to the inherent complexity of earth science data, expert supervision is required at all stages of analysis from collection to dissemination. This ensures that the most appropriate methodology is adopted and the results remain consistent with the geological principles. Discussions on these practical issues often lie beyond the scope of textbooks and this is precisely where this book is placed. In this book eminent geoscientists present their experiences in analyzing and managing earth science data as well as in designing numerical models to simulate earth processes. Apart from giving a discourse of their own approach towards a particular research problem they also discuss at length the relative merits of alternative methodologies. These seven authoritative articles, richly illustrated, will be a valuable resource for research students and professionals interested in research and teaching in various branches of earth science like, tectonics, GPS geodesy, sedimentology, geographical information science, and evolutionary biology."

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2018Beloved Delhi
A Mughal City and her Greatest Poets
by Saif Mahmood (Foreword by Rakhshanda Jalil; Preface by Sohail Hashmi)
‘A riveting resurrection of the city of poets, the city of history, Saif Mahmood’s learned and evocative book takes us to the heart of Delhi’s romance with Urdu verse and aesthetics.’—Namita Gokhale Urdu poetry rules the cultural and emotional landscape of India—especially northern India and much of the Deccan—and of Pakistan. And it was in the great, ancient city of Delhi that Urdu grew to become one of the world’s most beautiful languages. Through the 18th and 19th centuries, while the Mughal Empire was in decline, Delhi became the capital of a parallel kingdom—the kingdom of Urdu poetry—producing some of the greatest, most popular poets of all time. They wrote about the pleasure and pain of love, about the splendour of God and the villainy of preachers, about the seductions of wine, and about Delhi, their beloved home. This treasure of a book documents the life and work of the finest classical Urdu poets: Sauda, Dard, Mir, Ghalib, Momin, Zafar, Zauq and Daagh. Through their biographies and poetry—including their best-known ghazals—it also paints a compelling portrait of Mughal Delhi. This is a book for anyone who has ever been touched by Urdu or Delhi, by poetry or romance.
