Bandicoots in the Moonlight

By: Avijit Ghosh

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

I grew up in a place where every student appearing for tile school finals was accompanied by four experts who wrote the answers outside before they were smuggled In. Where buying a train ticket was uber uncool because only cowards paid to travel. Where dating a woman was unheard of but mating was commonplace, and where the loss of male virginity often had something to do with goats ••• Teenage boy Anirban Roy grows up- not a lot wiser- in a small town in 70s Bihar where his policeman father is posted to pick up intelligence on the looming Naxalite menace. Ganesh Nagar possesses neither village simplicity nor urban slick but observes a line of ethics that defies codification. It takes time for Anirban to learn to juggle adolescent angst and ping-pong hormones, loyal friends and part-time criminals, a bewildering succession of topsy-turvy lessons in life and lust, yet manage to keep the balls in the air. There are close encounters with animals, too: Experiments with reptiles; the sighting of bandicoots in full flight, their sleek coats gleaming in the moonlight; the hazards involved in stealing a parrot nestling; the part played by a domestic fowl in curing snakebite and predicting death; and the unusual role of donkeys in satiating adolescent lust. Rites of passage never got so down and dirty as in journalist Avijit Ghosh's earthy account of boy-to-manhood in fictional Ganesh Nagar, an introverted district that could exist in India anytime, anywhere.

CINEMA BHOJPURI

By: Avijit Ghosh

Cruel landlords; crafty moneylenders; corrupt politicians; righteous heroes and uninhibited dancing girls—just some of the characters of a successful Bhojpuri film. Often considered kitschy and crude by ‘polite’ society; Bhojpuri cinema has had astounding success from the 1990s onwards; which can only be explained by its overwhelming popularity among the other half of new India. What is it that makes Bhojpuri cinema tick? What is the logic of its aesthetics? And most importantly; how did these regional language films become a profitable industry? Answering many of these questions and written with a deep sensitivity for the genre; Cinema Bhojpuri is the one of the first studies of the history and themes of Bhojpuri cinema—the poor cousin of Bollywood. Basing his research on extensive personal interviews and analyses of trade journals from the 1960s onwards; Avijit Ghosh’s fascinating study unveils much about Bhojpuri cinema—from the making of the first Bhojpuri film; Ganga Maiya Tohe Piyari Chadhaibo; to the terrible lows of the 1980s when Bhojpuri cinema all but died; and right down to the present when the breathlessly-paced masala entertainers of Manoj Tiwari; Ravi Kishan and Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’ gave life to what Hindi cinema had left behind—rural India.

Life Is a Journey, Enjoy It

By: Avijit Kumar De

Krishna, you are crying? A teardrop had rolled down his cheek. Yes, I am. My whole world has fallen apart. I cant think of anything. As you proceed, you will see how screwed up one can be, if he does not think straight, and how miserable it can be when situations go out of hand. Or is it let go out of hand? It is for you to find out. I call this person the Advisor because he always gave advice to others, even if they wanted it or not. He involved himself to such an extent to solve it that he screwed up his life completely. This fellow thought that he knew everything. As he always said, There is a solution to every problem. But what about his own?

Microstructure Atlas of P91 Steel

By: Rajat K. Roy,Anil K. Das,Avijit Kumar Metya,Avijit Mondal,Ashis Kumar Panda,M. Ghosh,Satish Chand,Sarmishtha Palit Sagar,Swapan Kumar Das,Amit Chhabra,Swaminathan Jaganathan,Amitava Mitra

This book highlights the qualitative and quantitative sequential changes in microstructure of P91 steel under various stress and temperature conditions. The P91 alloy is an established material used under elevated temperature and stress in the components of thermal power plants. Temperature and stress levels for laboratory experimentation have been selected based on the true operating condition of a boiler. This book describes both full length as well as interrupted tests that were performed under given parameters. Subsequently, the microstructures, bulk hardness and NDE parameters (magnetic and non-linear ultrasonic) have been evaluated. For reliable data, the microstructures have been observed at different regions of creep exposed samples by different characterization techniques. This has been further followed by drawing co-relation between specific features like precipitate size variation with creep strain / creep time and so on. Given the contents, this book will be a useful reference for researchers and professionals working in the area of materials especially in thermal power plants.

Environmental Change, Livelihood Issues and Migration

Sundarban Biosphere Reserve, India

By: Avijit Mistri,Bhaswati Das

This book deals with the out-migration from the UNESCO designated Sundarban Biosphere Reserve in India. It focuses on the question whether out-migration is a consequence of environmental change or livelihood issues and development deficit. It investigates the processes of migration from a broad spectrum, exploring a wide range of economic, social, and demographic factors along with environmental stressors. The processes of migration studied and empirically illustrated include migration stream, migration pattern, reasons for migration, the nexus between migration and social network, aspiration and different human, economic and physical capital. The book adopts a modelistic approach called the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) to investigate whether migration from Sundarban is an environmental migration or not. In addition it uses the risk perception approach of people’s cognition or ‘affective imagery’ to examine the degree of perceived environmental risk in the means of living, especially farming and fishing, of the islanders of Sundarban. The book will be of interest to researchers and academicians in the areas of migration studies, geography, political science, sociology and economics.

Tropical Geomorphology

By: Avijit Gupta

Although similar geomorphic processes take place in other regions, in the tropics these processes operate at different rates and with varying intensities. Tropical geomorphology therefore provides many new discoveries regarding geomorphic processes. This textbook describes both the humid and arid tropics. It provides thoroughly up-to-date concepts and relevant case studies, and emphasises the importance of geomorphology in the management and sustainable development of the tropical environment, including climate change scenarios. The text is supported by a large number of illustrations, including satellite images. Student exercises accompany each chapter. Tropical Geomorphology is an ideal textbook for any course on tropical geomorphology or the tropical environment, and is also invaluable as a reference text for researchers and environmental managers in the tropics.

Ten Lectures on Education

Pedagogic and Sociological Sensibilities

By: Avijit Pathak

This book - written with theoretical rigor, sociological sensibility and poetic beauty - reveals the intensity of classroom lectures and dialogues. In the age of ‘virtual intimacy’, the author retains the courage to celebrate the spirit of direct, face-to-face classroom interactions. As he delivers a series of lectures on education, pedagogy and cultural politics, and engages with his students at Jawaharlal Nehru University, the book begins to take its shape. It invites the readers to raise critical questions, sharpen their socio-political vision, and reflect on educational practices and pedagogic possibilities. Please note: This title is co-published with Aakar Books, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Maldives and Sri Lanka.

Introducing Large Rivers

By: Avijit Gupta

An accessible introduction to large rivers, including coverage of the geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, and environments of large river systems This indispensible book takes a structured and global approach to the subject of large rivers, covering geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, and anthropogenic environment. It offers a thorough foundation for readers who are new to the field and presents enlightening discussions about issues of management at the worldwide scale. The book also examines possible future adaptations that may come about due to climate change. The book has benefitted from contributions by Professor W.J. Junk on the ecology of floodplains and Professor Olav Slaymaker on the large arctic rivers. Introducing Large Rivers is presented in three parts. Part 1 provides an introduction to the world’s large rivers and their basins. It covers source, transfer, and storage of their water and sediment; Pleistocene inheritance; the ecology of channels and floodplains; deltas; and more. Several large rivers are discussed in the next part. These include the Amazon Mississippi, Nile, Ganga-Brahmaputra System, Mekong, and Yangtze. The last part examines changes in large rivers and our management of river systems. It studies anthropogenic alterations such as land use and deforestation in large river basins; structural control systems like dams and reservoirs on channels; and ecological changes. It finishes with chapters on the management of large rivers, covering both technical and political aspects, and the future of the world’s big river systems. Introducing Large Rivers is ideal as an introductory textbook on large rivers for future earth and environmental scientists and river managers. It will also benefit advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying geography, geology, ecology, and river management.

Soil-Plant-Water Analysis: A Complete Knowledge

Soil-Plant-Water Analysis: A Complete Knowledge

By: Avijit Ghosh,Dr. Manoj Chaudhary

The idea for this soil, plant and water analysis manual grew out of the Soil Test Calibration Program within the region’s national agricultural programs that laid the basis for sound fertilizer recommendations. If soil and plant tests are not reliable, the process of sampling and analysis is meaningless and undermines the validity of any agronomic trials. As no essential element can substitute for another, it is critically important to identify where and when such deficiencies occur. That’s where the role of soil and plant analysis comes in. Techniques have been developed to evaluate soil fertility constraints based on soil chemical extraction and analysis of the plants that grow on such soils. Both are complementary and, when calibrated with field crop responses to fertilizer, provide a rational basis to identify what elements are missing, and how much fertilizer, whether organic or inorganic, to apply. Therefore, soil and plant analysis laboratories have a vital role in agricultural development.
