Sale!Central Narmada Valley ₹1,440.00
The book The Central Narmada Valley: A Study in Quaternary Palaeontology and Allied Aspects is the first attempt at studying a small stretch of the valley from a multidisciplinary point of view incorporating the results of archaeology, geology, palaeontology and taphonomy. New techniques and parameters have been applied to study and re-interpret these areas. This book also summarizes the morphology, distribution pattern and evolutionary history of certain extinct animals in relation to cultural development. With the help of modern analogies, the book attempts to build up a palaeoecological model for Narmada and its surrounding areas including some of the rock shelter sites. The book extends the dimensions of understanding the life history of Narmada and its tributaries, not only by discovering and reinterpreting various biological and cultural events, but also by seeking to understand varied aspects like river behaviour, flood history and man-land relationship during the past. The book should prove useful to students and researchers of river valley cultures in general and to those of Narmada Valley in particular.

Sale!Bundelkhand ka Svatantrata Sangarsha ₹612.00
प्रस्तुत पुस्तक के द्वारा भारत के स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष में बुन्देलखण्ड की जनता के योगदान को सामने लाने का प्रयास किसा गया है। गांधीजी की बुन्देलखण्ड यात्रा एवं ओरछा के समीप सतार नदी के किनारे चन्द्रशेखर आजाद के हरिशंकर ब्रह्मचारी के नाम से कुटिया बनाकर रहने से समस्त बुन्देलखण्ड में तेजी से राष्ट्रवादी भावनाओं का प्रसार हुआ। 1923 के झण्डा सत्याग्रह एवं 1930 के जंगल सत्याग्रह में बुन्देलखण्ड के लोगों ने बढ़-चढ़कर भाग लिया। ब्रिटिश भक्त देशी रियासत के राजाओं ने जब जनता पर अत्याचार किया तो जनता ने प्रजामण्डल की स्थापना कर उनका विरोध किया। इसी विरोध के फलस्वरूप संक्रांति के मेले के दिन 14 जनवरी 1931 को छतरपुर जिले में जलियाॅवाला बाग की तरह ही चरण-पादुका हत्याकाण्ड घटित हुआ। पं. माखनलाल चतुर्वेदी ने कर्मवीर समाचार पत्र के माध्यम से 1920 में रतौना में खोले जाने वाले कसाई खाने का इतना प्रखर विरोध किया कि सरकार को घबराकर अपनी कसाईखाना खोलने की योजना त्यागनी पड़ी। यह एक ओर बुन्देलखण्ड की धरती पर अंग्रेजों की करारी शिकस्त थी, तो दूसरी ओर पं. माखनलाल चतुर्वेदी की पत्रकारिता की महत्वपूर्ण जीत थी।
सागर के भाई अब्दुलगनी, ज्वाला प्रसाद ज्योतिषी, केशवराव खाण्डेकर एवं मास्टर बलदेव प्रसाद, दमोह के भैयालाल चैधरी, अजयगढ़ पन्ना के चंदीदीन चैरहा, छतरपुर के पं. रामसहाय तिवारी, टीकमगढ़ के लालाराम वाजपेयी एवं झांसी के भगवानदास माहौर आदि ने बुन्देलखण्ड के स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष को गति, दिशा एवं अर्थ प्रदान किया। इन्हें पं. द्वारका प्रसाद मिश्र एवं पं. सुन्दरलाल तपस्वी का कुशल नेतृत्व एवं मार्गदर्शन मिला। गोवा मुक्ति आन्दोलन में भी सागर की सहोद्राराय एवं केसरी चन्द मेहता सहित अनेक सत्याग्रहियों ने गोवा जाकर आन्दोलन को सफल बनाया। उक्त सभी घटनाक्रम की रोचक, सहज, सरल, सुबोध एवं तथ्यपरक जानकारी इस पुस्तक में दी गई है। छात्रों, शोधार्थियों, शिक्षक बन्धुओं सहित प्रत्येक वर्ग के लोगों को यह पुस्तक ज्ञानवर्धक एवं रुचिकर लगेगी। -
Sale!Ancient Gods and Heroes of East and West ₹810.00
This book is a study of the people of nomadic groups or clans of Central Asia from about 6000 bce to the last millennium bce to explore why cultures and history developed the way they did in Central Asia by taking up the Indo-European and other settlements notably, the Greeks, the ancient Iranians and Indo-aryans of the Indian subcontinent for in-depth study. It deals with the quest for knowledge which led to evolution of cultures from simple primitive life to a society complex in structure, from philosophy to religion. The study of gods and heroes examines stories relating to migration and settlements and the geography of ancient civilizations. It is in this setting that their unique philosophies and religious beliefs flourished, giving rise to belief in numerous gods and heroes. It discusses the myths and legends of the ancient cultures, highlighting names, deeds and events relating to honoured gods and much-praised heroes. Dr Marta Vannucci significantly concludes that both Indo-aryan and Indo-Iranian people had been able to maintain their traditional customs and habits backed by technical developments up to the last centuries bce. Throughout, she bases her observations on reliable information provided by archaeology substantiated by oral and written traditions of Central Asia, Greece and Rome. The volume will be invaluable to scholars of history, anthropology and archaeology who are keen to systematically unravel the obscure origins of the great human civilizational march.

Sale!Acheulian Culture in Peninsular India ₹410.00
The Indian sub-continent, particularly the Peninsular India, is recognised as one of the richest areas of Acheulian occupation in the Old World. This research work is a detailed study of the Acheulian Culture system in India signifying the earliest cultural occupation here. The book examines the cultural material of the Acheulian phase in its ecological setting to throw light on the distribution pattern, nature of habitats, Quaternary deposits, mammalian and hominid remains, land use and subsistence, site formation process, genesis and chronology of the Acheulian cultural system. Incorporating his own field observations over the last three decades and more as well as integrating and synthesising the available data and evidence on Acheulian culture, Dr. R.S. Pappu presents a comprehensive understanding of the Acheulian system and, in general, behavioural patterns of early hunting and food gathering communities. He also provides an account of the progress of Palaeolithic research in India since the first discovery of Palaeolithic settlement by Foote in 1863, tracing the major projects and contributions of noted Indian geo-archaeologists.
