Light was central to the visual politics and imaginative geographies of empire, even beyond its role as a symbol of knowledge and progress in post-Enlightenment narratives. This book describes how imperial mappings of geographical space in terms of ‘cities of light’ and ‘hearts of darkness’ coincided with the industrialisation of light (in homes, streets, theatres) and its instrumentalisation through new representative forms (photography, film, magic lanterns, theatrical lighting). Cataloguing the imperial vision in its engagement with colonial India, the book evaluates responses by the celebrated Indian painter Ravi Varma (1848–1906) to reveal the centrality of light in technologies of vision, not merely as an ideological effect but as a material presence that produces spaces and inscribes bodies.
Himachal Pradesh, which is located in the Western Himalayas, is a part of the world that has been bestowed with an abundance of biodiversity, including a wide variety of plants that can be eaten wild. These plants have been an essential part of the lives of the people who live in the surrounding communities, as they have offered subsistence, nutrition, and a profound connection to nature. From the lower valleys to the high mountain slopes, Himachal Pradesh is home to a broad range of wild edible plants and animals, each of which has its own distinctive tastes, textures, and applications. The Kafal fruit, also known as Myrica esculenta, is an evergreen tree-borne fruit that is highly appreciated for its culinary qualities in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Small and round these berries have a flavor that is both sweet and sour, and they are frequently employed in the preparation of jams, jellies, and syrups. In a similar vein, the Hisalu fruit (Rubus ellipticus), which resembles a raspberry and is enjoyed for its sweetness and utilized in a wide variety of culinary applications, can be found in some South American countries. In addition, Himachal Pradesh is home to a wide range of leafy greens, many of which are wildcrafted due to the high nutritional value they have. Pahari Palak, also called Himalayan Dock (Rumex nepalensis), is a leafy green vegetable that is used in saag, soups, and stir-fried foods. It has a tangy flavor.

: This book is research-based, in which studies highlighted the current polluting status of water. It has been observed and concluded that the ever-growing industry setups in industrial areas are simply releasing wastewater into streams without any pre-treatment. The resultant quality of receiving water streams is getting a high load of pollutants which is lethal to the living creatures getting exposed to it. In the present study, it has been recorded that industries like oil, milk, and other refineries are releasing biowaste material prominently containing oil & other waste traces. The mixing of oil with water severely disturbed the ecosystem and hence needs to be handled with greater attention. With the use of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and morphological, biochemical, and pigmentation analysis Species-level identification has been done for particular species and demonstrated the prevalence of two major species in polluting water bodies from which samples have been taken. To ascertain the potential of these strains for biosurfactant production, and can be able to deliver the function of better biodegradation. Strains do showcase the ability to degrade oil-enriched industrial waste by reducing the COD values at the maximum speed and enabled nominating these strains as the potential strains for the degradation of pollutants-rich wastewater probably when used in treatment plants.
: The compilation of information in the book will offer a valuable source of knowledge on the wild edible fruits utilized by the Jaunsari tribe, who reside in Uttarakhand. This will include details on their growth, distribution, ethnobotanical properties, and more. By providing information on the nutritional and medicinal benefits of these fruits, as well as their cultural significance and role in daily life for the Jaunsari people, a handbook on the utilization of wild edible fruits could serve as a crucial resource.
