Soft cover. Condition: New. A history of the rediscovery of India's history Through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Western world had very little knowledge or an extremely distorted view - of the glorious and fascinating history of the Indian subcontinent. In fact, with little of the region's 3000-year-old heritage formally preserved and documented, it was widely believed that the country's history had begun with the reign of the Mughals. When the British gained control over the subcontinent, the scholars, explorers and Indophiles among them discovered things and areas of great historical wonder but found few answers. Armed with great intellectual curiosity, they set out to uncover things no one had given a thought to earlier. From William Jones who identified Chandragupta Maurya as 'Sandrocottus' mentioned in Greek sources and set the first chronological point of reference for recorded Indian history to Charles Wilkins who designed the first typeface of the Bengali script; from Henry Colebrooke who shone light on the wonders of ancient Indian scientific knowledge to Alexander Cunningham, the father of Indian archaeology, who led the first excavation of the Harappa site in the Punjab â" Forgotten Civilizations brings together the intriguing stories of fifteen intrepid Englishmen who dedicated their lives to rediscovering India's ancient heritage and redefining the significance of its pluralistic and sophisticated culture to the rest of the world.…

"Tantraloka is a magnum opus of the Indian Tantrika-world, written in the Tenth Century, in the light of Kashmir Saivism by the great polymath Sri Abhinavagupta. This great work does not only include all the philosophical and Tantrika essence of monistic Kashmir Saivism but is also often considered the apex of Indian Tantrika Philosophy. Abhinavagupta explains in detail in its thirty seven chapters the all-inclusive vision and way to truth, the Prakasa state of Parama Siva. This publication is the first attempt to unfold this Prakasa (light) for the English-speaking horizon.". …

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Introduction to experimental economics. 2. Experiments with games of strategic choices. 3. Experiments with public goods. 4. Individual decisions under uncertainty. 5. Various types of experimental designs. 6. The methodology and protocol of experimental economics. 7. Introduction to programming using z-tree. Bibliography. Experiments in economics involve gathering human subjects in a classroom or a computer laboratory, presenting them with a situation and making them take decisions that are monetarily incentivised. These decisions will later be analysed statistically or econometrically to yield results that confirm, but also challenge, predictions of economic theory, thereby expanding the boundaries of knowledge regarding human economic behaviour and its motives. An Introduction to Experimental Economics details the methodology, procedure and protocol to be followed while conducting experiments in economics. It draws the contours of the newly emerging discipline through the main areas where experiments are being used: games involving strategic decisions where there are two players and the decision of one player is contingent upon how she expects the other player to behave, public goods games designed to test the existence of the free rider problem through a voluntary contributions mechanism, and games involving a choice between two or more lotteries that explain decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. A unique feature is the discussion on experiments designed to elicit the impact of community, caste, religion and multiplicity of culture, based on the author s rigorous work in the field. Written in simple language, and with practical applications in mind-a chapter is devoted on how to use z-Tree, an open source software which can be used to effectively run experiments in a lab-this book will interest students and scholars of economic theory and its empirical verification.…
