Over the course of his acclaimed 60-year career, Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) has employed both representation and abstraction as a means of reckoning with the legacy, collective memory, and national sensibility of post–WWII Germany, in both broad and very personal terms. This handsomely designed book spans the artist’s rich and varied oeuvre from the early 1960s to the present, including photo paintings, portraits, large-scale abstract series, and works on glass. Essays by leading experts on the artist illuminate Richter’s preoccupation with painting in relation to other modes of representation, and emphasize the ongoing importance of the medium’s formal and conceptual possibilities in contemporary art.
Since before the myth of Pygmalion bringing a statue to life through desire, artists have used sculpture to explore the physical materiality of the body. This groundbreaking volume examines key sculptural works from thirteenth-century Europe to the global present, revealing new insights into the strategies artists deploy to blur the distinction between art and life. Three-dimensional renderings of the human figure are presented here in numerous manifestations, created by artists ranging from Donatello and Edgar Degas to Kiki Smith and Jeff Koons. Featuring works created in media both traditional and unexpected—such as glass, leather, and blood—Like Life presents sculpture by turns conventional and shocking, including effigies, dolls, mannequins, automata, waxworks, and anatomical models. Texts by curators and cultural historians as well as contemporary artists complete this provocative exploration of realistic representations of the human body. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
This incisive publication explores the formal, conceptual, political, and technical aspects of the work of contemporary American artist Charles Ray. For Charles Ray (born 1953), sculpture is a way of thinking that informs his work across a wide range of media-from gelatin silver prints to porcelain, fiberglass, wood, and steel. Spanning the whole of his fifty-year career, Charles Ray: Figure Ground considers the artist's intriguing, often unsettling sculptures from both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in relation to his early photographs and performances. It also explores his interest in Mark Twain's 1884 novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Kelly Baum addresses patterns and patterning in Ray's art, foregrounding his engagement with preexisting traditions, classicism among them, as well as charged issues around race, gender, and sexuality. Brinda Kumar investigates the modalities of touch that run through Ray's work, while a reflection by Ray himself and a conversation between the artist and Hal Foster offer further insights into his multifaceted practice.
This book covers the physical principles, modelling, fabrication and applications of Tunnel Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) and Fin Field Effect Transistors (FinFETs). This is intended to act as a reference for undergraduate, postgraduate and research scholars belonging to backgrounds of Applied Physics, Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Material Science. Of paramount importance is the need to understand the simulation aspects of these devices, the validity of mathematical models, basics on fabrication and details of applications of these nanoscale devices. The presentation of the book assumes that the reader has fundamental concepts of semiconductor device physics and electronic circuits. A course such as the one this book is intended to accompany and motivate both students and scholars to get involved in the research on TFETs and FinFETs. Further, this book can act as a reference for device engineers and scientists who need to get updated information on device and technological developments.

Sachi's life had always been slow and peaceful, with days spent in routine work and leisure. It seemed that nothing would change, and she was content with it despite the lingering yearning for a life with more adventure. However, a series of unexpected events on a very ordinary day changed everything. She wakes up in a world much different from hers, and is faced with the challenge to fulfil her responsibilities as the Chosen One – the IbaraTera, and save its people from the life of subjugation inflicted by the merciless Empire. She journeys through the vast lands to gather and master the powers of the elements of nature, with the aim to vanquish the one man leading the Empire who thrust the world into turmoil. On her journey, Sachi discovers more than herself and her responsibilities as the IbaraTera. Bonds are rekindled, precious friends are gained, and comrades with hearts blazing with the desire to end the tyranny join forces to bring back peace and balance to the kingdom.

‘Who knows what I am? Who cares? I don’t ever step into a church and if I go to the temple it’s only to look at the bangle stalls on the big festival days.’ Without warning a family on Campbell Street wakes up to the return of a long-lost member: Vasu. After nearly fifteen years of unexplained absence he turns up suddenly, accompanied by Anand, his mysterious caretaker. They are met by Vasu’s family, including his long-suffering wife Shanthi and their children, Priya and Vivek; their beautiful, strong-willed, yet insecure neighbour Kathy; and the feisty, flirtatious maid-servant Rani. In the days that follow, the two men become the centre of attention and conflict. The residents of Campbell Street attempt to understand the mystery of their companionship even as rumours gather: of men fleeing justice only to regroup and recover their strength before the next onslaught on religious sanity, of money being collected to fund temples, and of a personal obsession that threatens to destroy the entire community. In a series of first-person narratives, unusual characters like Sapna, the eunuch queen of a touring circus, and Railway Track, who alternates between bouts of insanity and the occasional moment of utter lucidity, take the plot forward without pause. Driven by emotionally charged encounters between individuals on the one hand and unexpected collisions between individuals and society on the other, Naked in the Wind shows us new ways of understanding a country in transition, where religious and communal identities have begun to define the very nature of existence.
