Sommario/riassunto |
|
Worlds Full of Signs compares Greek divination to divinatory practices in Neo-Assyrian Mesopotamia and Republican Rome. It argues that the character of Greek divination differed fundamentally from that of the two comparanda. Ample attention is given to background and method at first. Subsequent chapters discuss the divinatory elements – sign, homo divinans , and text, relating divination to time and uncertainty. This book brings together sources originating from various times and places, questioning these to consider both generalities of ancient divination and specifics of Greek divination. Greek divination was inherently flexible on many levels: these findings should be connected to Greek views on time and the future as well as the relatively low level of divinatory institutionalization. |

Lupus is one of many disorders of the immune system known as auto-immune diseases, wherein the immune system attacks parts of the patient's body, leading to inflammation and injury in body tissues. This book presents current research in the study of the symptoms, treatment and potential complications of lupus. Topics include autoantibody-producing B cells and B cell therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus; neuropsychiatric and hematologic manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus; pulmonary hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus; dual roles for antibodies in lupus nephritis; and treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus with intravenous immunoglobulins. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume offers a selection of critical essays on texts that can be broadly categorized as popular literature. The essays are inclined to question the idea of ‘the Canon’ and re-consider the divide between the canonical and the popular. As such, besides engaging in a serious critical reading of typical popular literary texts like "The Jungle Book" and "The Hound of the Baskervilles", the book also considers populist tendencies in literary classics like "Jane Eyre" and "Frankenstein". It will be of interest to young scholars and readers of popular literature, science fiction, detective fiction, genre studies, and culture studies. The volume’s contributors are: Anisha Ghosh, Arnab Dasgupta, Goutam Karmakar, Jaya Sarkar, Jaydip Sarkar, Madhuparna Mitra Guha, Mandika Sinha, Mitarik Barma, Pinaki Roy, Puja Chakraborty, Rajadipta Roy, Rupayan Mukherjee, Shirsendu Mandal, Shubham Dey. |
