Few performing art forms are marked by the dramatic dynamics that govern Kathakali from the culturally rich Southern Indian state of Kerala. The dance characterized by a unique feature its staunch distance from worldly reality selects to include within its scope only the most supernatural and mythological aspects concerning the lives and affairs of celestial beings deities demons and sages. An elaborately defined code of body kinetics combined with beautifully eloquent hand gestures called mudras are enhanced by stylized make up and costumes to provide the several appropriate symbolic nuances typifying Kathakali. The artiste besides makes little attempt to internalize the emotions of the character he portrays. Instead he enlivens his performance through the dimension of life breath or Prana in Sattwikabhinaya and infuses soul into his performance through rasabhinaya or emotional acting. Exaggerated and extravagant his histrionics enunciate a powerful language all their own creating as poetic field of expression that needs prodigious imagination on the part of the viewer to fully appreciate a performance. This double volume comprehensively explores the interpretative medium detailing such fascinating stage aspects as Aharya and Angikabhinaya along with an intricate pattern of music and rhythmics employed in Kathakali. Renowned scholars and performers additionally describe the textual sources for performances discuss reputed Kathakali institutes and outline the rigours of the disciplined training routine involved before a student makes his debut as a full fledged dancer. A rare insight into what is probably the most compelling art form. 204 pp.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Current environmental and energy concerns have led to lignin gaining increased attention in the last decade as a renewable biomass. Due to its structural and functional properties, such as antimicrobial behaviour, biodegradability, biocompatibility and ease of surface modifications, lignin-based materials have gained popularity in the biomedical field with applications ranging from tissue engineering scaffolds and wound dressing materials to drug delivery carriers.Using this book, the reader will learn about the chemistry of lignin, and the characterization, fabrication and properties of lignin-based composites with different matrices (thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers etc.). In addition, the book illustrates how these materials are used in medical applications, covering drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue engineering, imaging, etc.Providing a neat overview of the current research for the biomaterials science community, this book is a one-stop resource for researchers and practitioners working on lignin-based biomaterials. For those active in the broader fields of materials science and biomedical engineering, this will be a useful reference and study aid.…
