The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India
Author: Madhavi Desai
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351893475
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The primary era of this study - the twentieth century - symbolizes the peak of the colonial rule and its total decline, as well as the rise of the new nation state of India. The processes that have been labeled 'westernization' and 'modernization' radically changed middle-class Indian life during the century. This book describes and explains the various technological, political and social developments that shaped one building type - the bungalow - contemporaneous to the development of modern Indian history during the period of British rule and its subsequent aftermath. Drawing on their own physical and photographic documentation, and building on previous work by Anthony King and the Desais, the authors show the evolution of the bungalow's architecture from a one storey building with a verandah to the assortment of house-forms and their regional variants that are derived from the bungalow. Moreover, the study correlates changes in society with architectural consequences in the plans and aesthetics of the bungalow. It also examines more generally what it meant to be modern in Indian society as the twentieth century evolved.

THE LAWS OF CRICKET - SIMPLIFIED -2017 Code (3rd Edn 2022)
Author: M. R. Singh
Publisher: M. R. Singh
ISBN: 9356269858
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Now, incorporates the amendment made by the MCC on 19.01.2023 Some content is revised as of 24.05.2023, basically, highlighting some aspects. IMPORTANT - Added a table on page A70. ABOUT THE BOOK After the encouraging success of the first book based on the 2017 Code (2nd edn 2019), the author presents this book which incorporates the changes made by the MCC in the 3rd edn 2022. For ease of understanding, these changes are marked in red throughout the book, accompanied by suitable notes & explanations. The original Laws of Cricket are generally seen as presenting quite a challenge for any reader, what with the ‘legalese’ and the long, complex sentences, and the use of several cross-references. ‘The Laws of Cricket – Simplified’, is written for the aspiring young umpire, the schoolgirl/boy, the casual cricketer, the club cricketer, the cricket commentator - even the armchair expert - whose interest in the game might arouse within him/her a desire to pick up a copy of the official Laws of Cricket, and who might be somewhat flummoxed by the intricacies of the Laws. This is an effort to help the lay reader understand the Law, by simplifying the language used and breaking up long sentences. The book is embellished with illustrations, charts & tables in order to break up the more complex Laws for easier understanding. The simplification of the Laws is somewhat limited by my desire to keep its basic structure the same to enable easier look-up in the original Laws in case it is desired. It is hoped that the serious learner might, also, find this book useful, especially the accompanying charts & tables.
