The Everlasting Man

release date: Dec 27, 2024
The Everlasting Man
"The Everlasting Man" by G.K. Chesterton, first published in 1925, is a profound exploration of the history of humanity and the unique place of Christianity in the story of civilization. Chesterton wrote the book as a response to H.G. Wells' The Outline of History, offering a Christian perspective on human history and spirituality. This work is often considered one of Chesterton's greatest contributions to Christian apologetics. The book resonates with readers seeking a thoughtful defense of Christianity in the face of secularism. Its exploration of humanity's spiritual nature and the uniqueness of Christ continues to inspire those grappling with questions of faith, history, and meaning.

The Living Tradition

release date: Aug 05, 2024
The Living Tradition
An engaging exploration of the quest for individuality within the rich tapestry of artistic traditions, by one of India's best-known artists. "The fulfillment of a modern Indian artist's wish to be part of a living tradition, i.e. to be individual and innovative, without being an outsider in his own culture, will not come of itself, it calls for concerted effort." In Living Tradition, a critical study of modern Indian art as it has evolved through continuous interaction with several traditions--foreign and indigenous--K. G. Subramanyan, one of India's most celebrated artists, offers a theoretical groundwork for that "concerted effort." In the course of his study, he explores the distinctions between Indian and European traditions, the continuities in India's folk traditions, and the attempts of several thinkers and artists to identify an Indian artistic tradition or to deny it altogether in a quest for personal expression or universality. With over seventy-five illustrations in color complementing Subramanyan's thought-provoking essay, Living Tradition provides readers with a visually engaging exploration of the vibrant tapestry of Indian art. Subramanyan played a pivotal role in shaping India's artistic identity after Independence. Mani-da, as he was fondly called, seamlessly blended elements of modernism with folk expression in his works, spanning paintings, murals, sculptures, prints, set designs, and toys. Beyond his visual artistry, his writings have laid a solid foundation for understanding the demands of art on the individual. In the year of his centenary, Seagull is proud to publish his writings in special new editions.

The Creative Circuit

release date: Aug 05, 2024
The Creative Circuit
An exploration of the weight of history and the demand for originality on the contemporary artist, written by one of India's best-known artists. What conception does a modern artist or critic have of contemporary art activity? How do modern artists react to their environment and cultural inheritance? And what general norms of achievement can we think of in the highly heterogeneous art scene of today? In Creative Circuit, K. G. Subramanyan, one of India's most celebrated artists, draws upon his considerable experience as a practicing artist and theoretician to engage with these concerns from a modern Indian perspective. Through a series of five lectures, Subramanyan critically examines key concepts such as modernity, eclecticism, and nostalgia, which have become integral to contemporary art discourse. He provocatively questions the perceptions, illusions, and emotional motivations driving artistic expression in today's heterogeneous art scene, prompting readers to reconsider established norms of achievement in the context of evolving artistic practices. With over one hundred color illustrations complementing Subramanyan's insightful discourse, Creative Circuit offers a visually engaging exploration of the interplay between tradition and innovation in contemporary art. Subramanyan played a pivotal role in shaping India's artistic identity after Independence. Mani-da, as he was fondly called, seamlessly blended elements of modernism with folk expression in his works, spanning paintings, murals, sculptures, prints, set designs, and toys. Beyond his visual artistry, his writings have laid a solid foundation for understanding the demands of art on the individual.

Age determination in fishes using hard parts: A practical handbook

Age determination in fishes using hard parts: A practical handbook
Fisheries research is aimed at developing strategies for managing the resources for sustainability. Stock assessment is the tool employed in the determination of resources/ stock health status based on which management strategies are decided. Information on age of fishes is used in fish stock assessment models for the estimation of recruitment, growth and mortality parameters, which plays a fundamental role in the assessment of commercial marine fish resources. The conventional techniques used for estimating age of fishes involve tracing of modal progressions of length groups in the population through time. Age and related estimates for the same species by different workers with the help of the length frequency method has been found to be highly subjective. This necessitated validation of age estimates obtained by conventional means using a robust and dependable method. Findings on the formation of marks on the animal’s hard parts (calcified structures) on a regular and sometimes annual basis, formed the basis for the use of these structures for precise age determination in fishes. Recently, age information derived from calcified structures are in use for validating the age estimate obtained from other methods. The number of age validation studies has increased over the last several years following standardization and simplification of hard parts based ageing process. Considering the importance of this technique the process involved were compiled in this book for the benefit of researchers.
