The Great Houses of Calcutta: Their Antecedents, Precedents, Splendour and Portents Paperback
Original price was: $23.72.$17.79Current price is: $17.79.The Great Houses standing in North Kolkata today and described in this book were built by the cream of the indigenous elite during the city’s colonial era. Some exceptions apart, these mansions are now largely forlorn reminders of the ways of life, aspirations and aesthetic values of the wealthy Indian landowners, bankers and traders who flourished during the heyday of the city’s colonial era of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The houses are an important part of the urban and architectural history of Kolkata and are past representatives of the ongoing debate over what it means to be modern while representing a living culture in built form. Taking off from Joanne Taylor’s widely acclaimed award-winning book The Forgotten Palaces of Calcutta and drawing from her thesis The Great Houses of Kolkata, 1750-2006, this book is a more comprehensive endeavour bringing in Joanne Taylor’s first-hand experiences and research in Kolkata and Jon Lang’s knowledge of the broader context of architectural history and the attempts to display contemporary design attitudes in built form, not only in today’s changing world but also during India’s colonial and post-colonial eras. With the help of meticulously researched and informative text and fascinating photographs, the book showcases the ‘Great Houses’ both during the city’s golden era when Kolkata was described as ‘The City of Palaces’ and the present. It raises current issues in architecture, not just in India but around the world. The book is a fresh view of India’s first capital and a fascinating insight into the lives of Kolkata’s great families, the bhadralok, during the British Raj. It is an essential work for architects, students of architecture and readers who are interested in British and Indian history.
The Guiding Symptoms of our Materia Medica – 10 Volume Set Hardcover Dr Constantine. Hering
$170.00This is a monumental work of 10 volumes by Dr C. Hering which is rearranged and augmented. In Hering’s Guiding Symptoms, the emphasis had shifted to confirmed symptoms. Consequently, the proportion of confirmed symptoms to others is much greater. For Hering, a symptom did not acquire the status of a guiding symptom unless, apart from its appearance in a prover or provers, it was verified at the bedside a number of times. Hering laid down the criteria for the value of symptoms on that very basis. In his “Guiding Symptoms”, he set the evaluation of symptoms at four grades, just as Boenninghausen had done in his repertory.
BOOK HIGHLIGHTS:-
Evaluation of symptoms in four grades following Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocket Book.
The author has given references for the relationship of drugs and also the hints for comparative study.
Mention of various pathological conditions or diseases in which a particular symptom was cured by a particular drug.
The reliability of the symptoms is doubly insured by repeated observations and confirmation on the sick in certain conditions of illness. Hering gave us the ‘matured’ Materia Medica!
