Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerala has been termed 'God's own country' in recent years. Its landscape and waterways are quite magnificent. However, little has been seen of its masterpieces of temple architecture. This book attempts to capture the style and design of these timber building and also illustrate the quality of space around them. Indian temples are to be seen with their surroundings in unity with the sky and the low-lying landscape or with the sky and the hills around. Architecture of the past in India attempts to create an experience with a sense of longing-something to fill the void within. The masters of design in an earlier era were concerned with the balance of a building and how it could please the eye. Glimpses of Architecture in Kerala is a beginning in trying to examine these intentions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the socio-cultural and the tectonic aspects of Kerala's wooden architecture, which is deeply rooted in religious and secular customs and shaped by geo-climatic forces. The author's multi-disciplinary approach links the various ethnic groups residing in Kerala, and the mutual adoption and adaptation of construction systems within migrant groups. This volume attempts to fill the research gap concerning vernacular styles, a need made more urgent by the fact that the traditional ways of building may get replaced by the modern much faster than we can imagine.

Book Synopsis Romantic Literature and the Colonised World by : Nikki Hessell
Download or read book Romantic Literature and the Colonised World written by Nikki Hessell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers indigenous-language translations of Romantic texts in the British colonies. It argues that these translations uncover a latent discourse around colonisation in the original English texts. Focusing on poems by William Wordsworth, John Keats, Felicia Hemans, and Robert Burns, and on Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe, it provides the first scholarly insight into the reception of major Romantic authors in indigenous languages, and makes a major contribution to the study of global Romanticism and its colonial heritage. The book demonstrates the ways in which colonial controversies around prayer, song, hospitality, naming, mapping, architecture, and medicine are drawn out by translators to make connections between Romantic literature, its preoccupations, and debates in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century colonial worlds.

Book excerpt: *A semi-philosophical, semi-aesthetic appreciation of the great stone structures of the past*Boasts an abundance of color photographsStone is a material that takes many million years to form. As a result, it offers a sense of permanence. Craftsmen and designers of an earlier era were able to use it most effectively to produce masterpieces of art and architecture. The primordial aspect of stone is perhaps why we feel so full of energy when wandering in areas with an abundance of this material. Stone offers magnificent natural compositions in the vast expanses of the countryside, but man's intervention elevates stone constructions to a whole new level of beauty.The builders of Mahabalipuram, Ellora, Elephanta, Angkor Wat, Badami, and Hampi were concerned not only with creating shelter in harmony with the natural landscape, but also with the numinous sense of elation one experiences when confronted with the architecture of these places. There was a time when man respected the landscape, seeing it as a reflection of his devotion to the creator of this universe. These primordial men also practiced a lifestyle that did not adversely affect the sustaining powers of the earth. Cosmic Dance in Stone is largely a collection of photographs and illustrations that show how their creations, wonderful landscapes of stone, have been devised to transcend space and time. It is an attempt to discover how the designers of the past envisaged structures that could link us to the stars and help us realize the nature of our existence.
