Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From approximately the third century BCE through the thirteenth century CE, the remote mountainous landscape around the glacial sources of the Ganga (Ganges) River in the Central Himalayas in northern India was transformed into a region encoded with deep meaning, one approached by millions of Hindus as a primary locus of pilgrimage. Nachiket Chanchani?s innovative study explores scores of stone edifices and steles that were erected in this landscape. Through their forms, locations, interactions with the natural environment, and sociopolitical context, these lithic ensembles evoked legendary worlds, embedded historical memories in the topography, changed the mountain range?s appearance, and shifted its semiotic effect. Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains also alters our understanding of the transmission of architectural knowledge and provides new evidence of how an enduring idea of India emerged in the subcontinent.

The 11th ISVS will be remembered as one that brought whole generation of young and talented scholars in the foreground. Many of them had carried out extensive field work to support their research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases cutting-edge research papers from the 6th International Conference on Research into Design (ICoRD 2017) – the largest in India in this area – written by eminent researchers from across the world on design process, technologies, methods and tools, and their impact on innovation, for supporting design for communities. While design traditionally focused on the development of products for the individual, the emerging consensus on working towards a more sustainable world demands greater attention to designing for and with communities, so as to promote their sustenance and harmony - within each community and across communities. The special features of the book are the insights into the product and system innovation process, and the host of methods and tools from all major areas of design research for the enhancement of the innovation process. The main benefit of the book for researchers in various areas of design and innovation are access to the latest quality research in this area, with the largest collection of research from India. For practitioners and educators, it is exposure to an empirically validated suite of theories, models, methods and tools that can be taught and practiced for design-led innovation. The contents of this volume will be of use to researchers and professionals working in the areas on industrial design, manufacturing, consumer goods, and industrial management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In Mountain, Water, Rock, God, Luke Whitmore situates the disastrous flooding that fell on the Hindu Himalayan shrine of Kedarnath in 2013 within a broader religious and ecological context. Whitmore explores the longer story of this powerful realm of the Hindu god Shiva through a holistic theoretical perspective that integrates phenomenological and systems-based approaches to the study of religion, pilgrimage, place, and ecology. He argues that close attention to places of religious significance offers a model for thinking through connections between ritual, narrative, climate destabilization, tourism, development, and disaster, and he shows how these critical components of human life in the twenty-first century intersect in the human experience of place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Region encompasses of inter-dependent urban and rural areas. The rural areas supply perishable items to urban areas and from urban areas, migrants send remittances back to their homes in rural areas. In India, where 68.85 percent of the population resided in rural area in 2011, the balanced regional development is required to achieve uniform and equitable distribution of resources. Of late, most of the Government's planning related efforts and associated development are more in cities, being largest contributor to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), than rural areas. Higher investment in cities as compared to rural areas contradicts the basic premise of a balanced regional development. Though region received recognition through 73 and 74 Constitutional Amendment Act, yet regional planning is still amiss. As the population is increasing at a faster rate, one has to design the space in a sustainable manner. The development by means of infrastructure or governance shall have the futuristic approach. The book intends to create knowledge about the significance of regional planning. Using case study approach, thirteen chapters by contributing authors provides an in-depth understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects related to the concepts of regionalization, agglomeration economies, contract farming, industrialization, corridor development and heritage based development. In the book, highly acclaimed professionals' presents microscopic view of planning of varied type of regions and suggest ways to avoid the excess and misuse of resources which will dwindle the quintessence of future development. The book provides a one-stop answer to the quest of university students, government officials, researchers, officials from non-Government and private organisations to comprehend the concept of region, contextualize its importance as a viable unit of planning to resolve prevalent issues keeping in mind futuristic outlook of regional development. The editor establishes the importance of region as a viable unit of planning, emphasizes upon the need for contextualising the issues existing in the region and accentuates that Government's effort at national and state levels should be towards holistic planning of a region.

Book excerpt: The Himalayas have captivated the imagination and interest of humankind for centuries. The more we explore, the more we learn. India's rich history, society, and culture, are deeply influenced by the world's tallest mountain range. After all, before modern travel, the Himalayas were the most important gateway to India, for people, goods and ideas. This rare and invaluable record of the youngest mountain range in the world is back in print after a century. The extensively detailed information on every district, food habits, customs, influences, as well as the people and their vocations will provide a new perspective to a whole new generation of young readers. The aim of this publication is to make Atkinson's rich data accessible once again to researchers so that we can continue to refer to this rich source of information in our continued work to conserve the rich natural resources and ecological heritage of the Himalayas which stand frighteningly threatened by fast paced and largely unplanned development.
