"Acid rain, global warming, the greenhouse effect, ozone holes, CFCs, radioactive wastes, water disinfectants, the Bhopal gas stragedy, carbon monoxide emissions, methane levels, flash fires, mercury poisonings.are all Hot Topics today. These dangers and threats are now very real and lived, many of them actualized for some parts of the world, and far closer to home than ever before. These critical issues are no longer matters of 'discussion' or mere academic interest. "Our understanding of the environment and its degeneration due to industry and negligent resource (ab) use has undergone a tremendous change since the sixties when some of these phrases gained currency. A basic and simple understanding of the issues involved has escaped many of us who were schooled before 'ecology' and 'environment' appeared on school and University Syllabi. Those more familiar, yet not fully conversant, with these processes find ourselves equally stumped at deciphering and keeping abreast of ecological news and moves. Hot Topics demystifies the key concepts and processes in a simple style that will be accessible not only to technocrats, industry professionals, entrepreneurs. …

"This book provides not merely a synthesis of existing material on the cultural history of the Andhras but also original research, insight and in some cases thoughtful new interpretations. In recent years interest in cultural history has grown and has played an ever-increasing part in the reinterpretation of history of the nation in general and Andhra in particular. Spanning the period from the early historical times to the late medieval period Krishnakumari's the wide-ranging and analytical survey of the archaeological and literary sources demonstrates the growth and development of religious traditions and ritual practices around some Hindu divinities, popularity of certain Gods over the others and the development of monumental art and architecture through the ages. Covering a wide range of topics and issues of cultural history of Andhra, it brings to light for the first time some unpublished and unnoticed data through intensive field studies. The topics included in the volume were neither sufficiently focused nor discussed earlier in the works on the cultural history of Andhradesa. The book's wide ranging and rigorous analysis of the new evidences offers one of the most powerful statements written on the cultural history." (jacket).…
