Penury into Plenty

Dearth and the Making of Knowledge in Early Modern England

By: Ayesha Mukherjee

Penury into Plenty: Dearth and the Making of Knowledge in Early Modern England is an original examination of cultural meanings of dearth and famine in England at the turn of the sixteenth century. It focuses on the socio-economic and ecological crises of the 1590s, investigating the effects of widespread fears of famine on mundane activities and knowledge making by analyzing the remedial measures undertaken by the early modern English to illustrate their commitment to resource management. The activities, theories, and publications of the prolific ‘dearth scientist’ Sir Hugh Platt are considered alongside other forms of literature such as sermons, plays, poetry and prose fiction to explain not only what dearth or famine meant in the period, but how contemporaries understood sustainable resource management. By drawing upon environmental, economic, scientific, and literary history and theory, Penury into Plenty allows modern readers to see that sustainability is not a wholly modern concept and the investigation of cultural forms of ecological consciousness and social consequences of past environmental change is vital for understanding contemporary concerns.

Modern South Asia

History, Culture, Political Economy

By: Professor of History and Diplomacy Director Center of South Asian and Indian Ocean Studies Sugata Bose,Sugata Bose,Associate Professor History Ayesha Jalal,Ayesha Jalal

The South Asian subcontinent is home to nearly a billion people and has been the site of fierce historical contestation. It is a panoply of languages and religions with a rich and complex history and culture. Drawing on the newest and most sophisticated historical research and scholarship in the field, Modern South Asia is written in an accessible style for all those with an intellectual curiosity about the region. After sketching the pre-modern history of the subcontinent, the book concentrates on the last three centuries from c.1700 to the present. Jointly written by two leading Indian and Pakistani historians, it offers a rare depth of historical understanding of the politics, cultures and economies that shape the lives of more than a fifth of humanity. In this comprehensive study, the authors debate and challenge the striking developments in contemporary South Asian history and historical writing. The book provides new insights into the structure and ideology of the British raj, the meaning of subaltern resistance, the refashioning of social relations along lines of caste, class, community and gender, the different strands of anti-colonial nationalism and the dynamics of decolonization. This book is a work of synthesis and interpretation covering the entire spectrum of modern South Asian history - social, economic and political. The authors offer an understanding of this startegically and economically vital part of the world.

Targeted Delivery of Nanopesticides and Nanofertilizers in Sustainable Agricultural Farming

By: Ayesha Nazeer,Faisal Ahmad,Neeraj Verma,Shamim Ahmad

Nanofertilizers and nanopesticides increase crop efficiency because of a several-fold increase in the surface-to-volume ratio of nano-forms of nutrients and their suitability to foliar application. The potential agricultural benefits of these nanomaterials, their modes of action, and the fate of nanomaterials in the soil are all discussed. This book uses a multidisciplinary approach and highlights the expertise of the authors in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, nanobiosensors, and agricultural research. It describes the details of nanoscale synthesis of materials for targeted delivery; in vitro, in vivo, and field trials experimentation; how to use digital technology for specific solutions including Big Data to create predictive mathematical modelling; along with the core knowledge of plant systems and their biosphere to improve crop yields. Also, the book discusses future perspectives and challenges of nanomaterials in agricultural applications. In summary, this book discusses agricultural nanobiotechnology with its main emphasis on understanding the interactions of nanoscale materials of pesticides and fertilizers. It also covers their application to improve the quality and increase crop yield with a minimum use of the active ingredients attached to the nanocarriers.

The Pity of Partition

Manto's Life, Times, and Work across the India-Pakistan Divide

By: Ayesha Jalal

A history of partition seen through the life and fiction of one of the subcontinent's most important modern writers Saadat Hasan Manto (1912-1955) was an established Urdu short story writer and a rising screenwriter in Bombay at the time of India's partition in 1947, and he is perhaps best known for the short stories he wrote following his migration to Lahore in newly formed Pakistan. Today Manto is an acknowledged master of twentieth-century Urdu literature, and his fiction serves as a lens through which the tragedy of partition is brought sharply into focus. In The Pity of Partition, Manto's life and work serve as a prism to capture the human dimension of sectarian conflict in the final decades and immediate aftermath of the British raj. Ayesha Jalal draws on Manto's stories, sketches, and essays, as well as a trove of his private letters, to present an intimate history of partition and its devastating toll. Probing the creative tension between literature and history, she charts a new way of reconnecting the histories of individuals, families, and communities in the throes of cataclysmic change. Jalal brings to life the people, locales, and events that inspired Manto's fiction, which is characterized by an eye for detail, a measure of wit and irreverence, and elements of suspense and surprise. In turn, she mines these writings for fresh insights into everyday cosmopolitanism in Bombay and Lahore, the experience and causes of partition, the postcolonial transition, and the advent of the Cold War in South Asia. The first in-depth look in English at this influential literary figure, The Pity of Partition demonstrates the revelatory power of art in times of great historical rupture.

Xp-Adjunction in Universal Grammar

Scrambling and Binding in Hindi-Urdu

By: Ayesha Kidwai

One of the most hotly debated phenomena in natural language is that of leftward argument scrambling. This book investigates the properties of Hindi-Urdu scrambling to show that it must be analyzed as uniformly a focality-driven XP-adjunction operation. It proposes a novel theory of binding and coreference that not only derives the coreference effects in scrambled constructions, but has important consequences for the proper formulation of binding, crossover, reconstruction, and representational economy in the minimalist program. The book will be of interest not only to specialists in Hindi-Urdu syntax and/or scrambling, but to all students of generative syntax.
