Book SynopsisChef Mikkel Karstad takes us on a fishing trip around the lakes, rivers and coastline of his native Denmark, catching and cooking fish and shellfish from sustainable species only. Each is given its own chapter, from plaice and skate to razor clams, langoustine and crab, with clear examples as to why zander fillet is an ethical and even more delicious alternative to the diminishing stocks of its sister fish, perch. Karstad not only cooks but styles each dish himself, bringing his elegant and fresh design aesthetic to over 80 delicious and nutritional recipes. Photography by Anders Schonnemann, shot on the beach, at sea and in the kitchen, beautifully complements Karstad's open-air lifestyle.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION / SEA / PLAICE / MACKEREL / GARFISH / LANGOUSTINE / RAY / LAKE / CRAB CLAWS / TURBOT / SQUID / RAZOR SHELL / ZANDER / BEACH / FISHING SEASONS / INDEX

Book SynopsisMankekar offers a new understanding of the affective and temporal dimensions of how India and "Indianness," as objects of knowledge production and mediation, circulate through transnational public cultures.Trade Review"Mankekar has produced a work that deserves to be read widely by scholars working on India, globalization, and consumer culture theory. She offers deep insights into the notions of Indian identity and nationhood. The book is a fascinating account and can help researchers to understand how diverse sources of data should be deployed, and synthesized with theory to produce a high-quality ethnographic work. This is an important book that should help to broaden the discussions on identity and globalization. The lucid style and the wide canvas make the book riveting." -- Rohit Varman * Consumption Markets & Cultures *"The kind of research this book entails is challenging—filled with shifts in location and the frequent need to fill in the silences of the unspeakable. In a book about destabilizing categories, Unsettling India is difficult to classify: accessible yet challenging, theoretical as well as empirical, drawing global concerns down to the microcosm of a shopping cart. Mankekar seeins equally at home in media studies and ethnography, in Kanpur and San Jose, and while she seeks to avoid writing a text that leaves readers with a sense of a world in crisis, her well-tuned gaze at the swirling present produces an illuminating vertigo." -- Heather Hindman * Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies *"Purnima Mankekar’s monograph, Unsettling India, is a dazzling example of the melding of ethnography and theory at its best. It is replete with detailed ethnographic vignettes, rich theoretical insights, and methodological, analytical, and conceptual innovation.... Mankekar’s work—located within and across fields of South Asian diaspora studies, globalization and transnationalism, media studies, critical racial and ethnic studies, gender and sexuality studies, and feminist theory—portends and provides a model for the future of anthropological research and a rethinking of the traditional ethnography." -- Anneeth Kaur Hundle * Anthropological Quarterly *"Unsettling India, in its masterful assemblage of materials and its theoretical sophistication, succeeds in reminding us that there is something indeed at stake in how we all choose to become global." -- Sandhya Shukla * American Anthropologist *"The volume pays a great deal of attention to class distinctions, race perceptions, and gender roles, and to how these play out in the creation and maintenance of nationalistic affect. . . . The book is highly recommended." -- John C. Hawley * Pacific Affairs *"Unsettling India offers a conceptually rich, ethnographically sensitive, intellectual engagement with several areas of current scholarly interest. In addition, it is an exemplary work on how to conduct politically informed grounded research that speaks to ethical concerns while advancing scholarship in important and instructive ways." -- Ramaswami Harindranath * Asian Studies Review *"[Mankekar] builds on the work of feminist cultural geographers to show how India is a process rather than an essence, produced as meaningful through the traffic in peoples, commodities and media. . . . This book is an important contribution to theorising affect and temporality, two areas experiencing growing interest in the social sciences, and brings a very timely fresh concept to understandings of transnationalism, that of ‘unsettling.'" -- Amanda Gilbertson * South Asia *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix 1.

Book SynopsisKing Kubera was the greediest man in the world. Hated and feared by many, he schemed to win the love of the beautiful goddess Parvati . . . but learned an important lesson when he invited her elephant-headed son Ganesha over for lunch one day . . . So goes one of the many delightful tales in this decidedly grown-up book of traditional Indian stories, retold for the modern reader. Author Kamla Kapur is well known in her native India as a poet and playwright, and her connection to these age-old stories is the reverent yet individualistic one we might expect from someone whose introduction tells of her hometown, where naked, dreadlocked holy men speed about on motorbikes. To collect these stories, Kapur relied on ancient sacred texts, modern scholarship, and chance encounters with interesting people who just happened to know a really good one about this time that Vishnu sank into the ocean, was incarnated as a pig, and had a really wonderful time. Like myths around the world, these are teaching stories that offer both a window into a fascinating culture that has endured for thousands of years, and a code for living that can be applied to the modern world.

Book SynopsisWorld population is growing exponentially with increasing demand in food security. Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing, food-producing sectors accounting for nearly 50% of the world's fish production. Aquaculture is culture of aquatic plants and animals in aquatic environment. Last few decades, aquaculture is becoming more reliable, efficient and sustainable source of high quality food production. Though, its major goal is to produce aquatic food for human consumption, but also has other goals, such as ornamental and sport fish cultivation. It also reduces stress on capture fishery which under threat due to over-fishing, habitat loss or other changes due to possible pollutants they have consumed or been exposed. However, aquaculture technology is continuously advancing through technological innovation to maximise yield/ha with less inputs and impact on environment. The farming of aquatic animals in controlled environment such as tanks, ponds or RAS in indoor premises is known as indoor fish farming. Indoor fish farming is one of the source of animal protein production to this day, especially in locations far from the sea. It allows fish to be raised in a controlled and optimised environment with increased control on water quality, feeding and diseases monitoring. Though, it requires significant initial investment, planning and expertise to establish, but has more advantages over open culture. Moreover, it is possible in urban area or area where land and water scarcity. Optimal water quality for the good health and growth of cultured fish species is achieved through proper oxygenation, feeding, filtration and removal of waste products to get control on ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. It too offers potential benefits in terms of water conservation, reduced environmental impact, efficient resource utilization, optimal FCR and risk of fish escapement. This book scientifically focuses on advances, operation, economics, management as well as challenges and safety in indoor aquaculture along with its impact on human beings. This book also touches SSFs, capture fisheries and its subsequent management. This book potentially serves as a manual for interested aquaculturist, policy makers as well as students pursuing graduation, post-graduation and research studies.

Book SynopsisThis book deals with the controversies on developmental aspects of large dams, with a particular focus on the Narmada Valley projects in India. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and research, the author draws on Marxist theory to craft a detailed analysis of how local demands for resettlement and rehabilitation were transformed into a radical anti-dam campaign linked to national and transnational movement networks. The book explains the Narmada conflict and addresses how the building of the anti-dam campaign was animated by processes of collective learning, how activists extended the spatial scope of their struggle by building networks of solidarity with transnational advocacy groups, and how it is embedded in and shaped by a wider field of force of capitalist development at national and transnational scales. The analysis emphasizes how the Narmada dam project is related to national and global processes of capitalist development, and relates the Narmada Valley movemenTrade ReviewA Discussion Forum has been set up for this title.

Book SynopsisThis is the first academic study of India''s emerging maritime strategy, and offers a systematic analysis of the interplay between Western military thought and Indian maritime traditions.By a quirk of historical fate, Europe embarked on its Age of Discovery just as the main Asian powers were renouncing the sea, ushering in centuries of Western dominance. In the 21st century, however, Asian states are once again resuming a naval focus, with both China and India dedicating some of their new-found wealth to building powerful navies and coast guards, and drawing up maritime strategies to govern the use of these forces. The United States, like the British Empire before it, is attempting to manage these rising sea powers while preserving its maritime primacy.This book probes how India looks at the sea, what kind of strategy and seagoing forces New Delhi may craft in the coming years, and how Indian leaders may use these forces. It examines the material dimension, but its majTable of Contents1. Everything Old Is New Again 2. The Logic of Indian Maritime Identity 3.

Book SynopsisFrom a country plagued with chronic food shortage, the Green Revolution turned India into a food-grain self-sufficient nation within the decade of 1968-1978. By contrast, the decade of 1995-2005 witnessed a spate in suicides among farmers in many parts of the country. These tragic incidents were symptomatic of the severe stress and strain that the agriculture sector had meanwhile accumulated. The book recounts how the high achievements of the Green Revolution had overgrown to a state of this agrarian crisis'. In the process, it also brings to fore the underlying resilience and innovativeness in the sector which enabled it not just to survive through the crisis but to evolve and revive out of it. The need of the hour is to create an environment that will enable the sector to acquire the robustness to contend with the challenges of lifting levels of farm income and coping with Climate Change. To this end, a multi-pronged intervention strategy has been suggested.
