Poetics of Conduct: Oral Narrative and Moral Being in a South Indian Town

Leela Prasad, "Poetics of Conduct: Oral Narrative and Moral Being in a South Indian Town"
Publisher:Columbia University Press | 2006-11-15 | 308 Pages | ISBN: 0231139217 | PDF | 3,85 MB

Leela Prasad's riveting book presents everyday stories on subjects such as deities, ascetics, cats, and cooking along with stylized, publicly delivered ethical discourse, and shows that the study of oral narrative and performance is essential to ethical inquiry. Prasad builds on more than a decade of her ethnographic research in the famous Hindu pilgrimage town of Sringeri, Karnataka, in southwestern India, where for centuries a vibrant local culture has flourished alongside a tradition of monastic authority. Oral narratives and the seeing-and-doing orientations that are part of everyday life compel the question: How do individuals imagine the normative, and negotiate and express it, when normative sources are many and diverging? Moral persuasiveness, Prasad suggests, is intimately tied to the aesthetics of narration, and imagination plays a vital role in shaping how people create, refute, or relate to "text," "moral authority," and "community." Lived understandings of ethics keep notions of text and practice in flux and raise questions about the constitution of "theory" itself. Prasad's innovative use of ethnography, poetics, philosophy of language, and narrative and performance studies demonstrates how the moral self, with a capacity for artistic expression, is dynamic and gendered, with a historical presence and a political agency.

Bioethics (Hot Topics)

Young people today are bombarded with information. Aside from traditional sources such as newspapers, television, and the radio, they are inundated with a nearly continuous stream of data from electronic media. They send and receive e-mails and instant messages, read and write online “blogs,” participate in chat rooms and forums, and surf theWeb for hours. This trend is likely to continue. As Patricia Senn Breivik, the former dean of university
libraries atWayne State University in Detroit, has stated, “Information overload will only increase in the future. By 2020, for example, the available body of information is expected to double every 73 days! How will these students find the information they need in this coming tidal wave of information?”

Taj Mahal: Passion and Genius at the Heart of the Moghul Empire

Diana and Michael Preston, "Taj Mahal: Passion and Genius at the Heart of the Moghul Empire"
Blackstone Audio Inc. | 2007 | ISBN: 078616901X | Audio CD | mp3 | 103 MB

While Galileo was suffering under house arrest at the hands of Pope Urban VIII, the Thirty Years War was ruining Europe, and the Pilgrims were struggling to survive in the New World, work began on what would become one of the Seven Wonders of the World: the Taj Mahal. Built by the Moghul emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, its flawless symmetry and gleaming presence have for centuries dazzled all who have seen it.

The story of its creation is a fascinating blend of cultural and architectural heritage. Yet, as Diana and Michael Preston vividly convey in the first narrative history of the Taj Mahal, it also reflects the magnificent history of the Moghul Empire, beginning with legendary warriors Genghis Khan and Tamburlaine.

The Design and Implementation of Geographic Information Systems

John E. Harmon, Steven J. Anderson, The Design and Implementation of Geographic Information Systems
John Wiley & Sons | ISBN: 0471204889 | 2003 | PDF | 272 pages | 6.38 MB

We have written this book to help practitioners design and implement multiuser, multiunit GISs to assist in their spatial decision-making.These are called corporate or enterprise GISs.We presume that you know what a GIS is, already have some experience with GIS, and have some ideas about what it can do.We also assume you are interested in improving the design of your existing GIS or building a well-designed system that will meet your needs. In our review of the existing material on GIS we felt that there was a missing piece in an accessible book.There is a lot of information on design and implementation in hundreds of needs assessments and database documentation files and probably thousands of public and private documents in the hands of organizations and consulting companies that have implemented GISs. But that information is very hard to come by and is usually specifically tailored for the particular application. At the other end of the generality scale, books on relational database design do not contain information on how to deal with spatial data, the “where” of things, and they usually are aimed at a business market with examples drawn from the world of commerce.Knowing how to design an inventory control or billing information system is a useful exercise, but it doesn’t help a GIS practitioner in local government design a database to support planning and zoning activities. Our goal in this book is to deal explicitly with the issues of spatial data in designing and implementing a GIS and to provide examples useful to the GIS community.
