Media collects trivia from society and large and sends it back to masses in structure forms of news. Since society consists of different communities new impacts people differently. More often than not it doesn’t. People need some identification to relate to news. Media tries to present it in such a manner that it engages people. It goes overboard also in the process. News is a highly perishable item. There media tries to restructure and reprocess to keep people’s interest alive. Media is supposed to be a watchdog of society and intervenes in all possible manner but without being its adversary. It forces the society to divide itself in stereotypes. As far as culture is concerned, it is a static phenomenon and is built over a period of times. Contrary to the popular fears it neither gets easily affected nor it tries to change itself. Ironically media also doesn’t aim at changing it. This book at this triangular relationship at a global level and provides a framework for debate. It is ideally designed for mass communicators and the students to have a second look at the world they live in and how media is trying to influence it. Om Gupta has been a mass communicator since 1969. He has worked for India Today, Times of India group, Indian Express group, Pioneer group and Samachar. He has written plays for All India Radio. His writings in Hindi and English have been published in 31 books covers. He has been a teacher of mass communication since 1995. Presently he is the Dean, Institute of Communication and Design, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.

Women have witnessed acute socio-economic problems in male-dominated society in the annals of Indian sub-continent. However, they maintained their identity and consequently emerged as a useful partner in the household affairs. The theme has been comprehensively weaved into four volumes, viz., ancient, medieval and modern India with a thrust on freedom struggle for Swaraj. It has vividly described status of women during the phases of history; her rights and duties, standard of education, lives of Devadasi and widows, female slaves, divorce, remarriage system, the Muslim queens, participation of women in three major movements during Gandhian era, and their sacrifices, status of Dalit women, socio-economic regeneration, nuns in Kerala, women and family welfare, role in labour force and vision of Annie Besant. These volumes would be useful for social scientists, researchers and students in India and abroad. Contents:- Vol 1- Contents, Preface 7, Introduction 11, 1. Status in the Vedic Era 15, 2.

Edition originale. Professeur au collège Duplessis à Paris et physicien, Pierre Nicolas Sigorgne (1719-1809) s'opposa courageusement aux derniers défenseurs du cartésianisme et défendit avec énergie le système de Newton. Il prit part aussi à de nombreux débats philosophiques, notamment contre Rousseau. Il était le correspondant de Condorcet à l'Académie royale des sciences. "Cette introduction aux mathématiques et à la physique de Newton a largement contribué à la diffusion de la théorie de l'unité universelle au sein de la communauté scientifique française. Un résumé latin de cet ouvrage devint la référence newtonienne en Europe" (Dict. of Scientific Bibliography). Sa carrière parisienne prometteuse prit cependant fin lorsqu'il fut arrêté en 1749 en tant qu'auteur présumé de vers satiriques contre Louis XV et Madame de Pompadour. Emprisonné quelque temps, il passa le reste de sa vie en exil à Mâcon, où il poursuivit ses travaux scientifiques et fonda l'Académie de cette ville. (Poggendorff, II, 927.). Mors fendu, coiffes usées. Très bon état intérieur, très frais.

Edition originale, exemplaire bien complet du cinquième volume de supplément et de l'ensemble de ses planches. Physicien, fondateur de la physique expérimentale et de son enseignement, Joseph-Aignan Sigaud de Lafond (Bourges, 1730-1810) créa les premiers cabinets de physique. Membre de nombreuses sociétés scientifiques européennes, il exerça comme professeur et démonstrateur de physique expérimentale et maître de mathématiques à l'Université de Paris. On lui doit plusieurs découvertes ainsi qu'une importante participation à la diffusion de la physique auprès d'un large public européen. "A useful and comprehensive dictionary of physics containing related material from chemistry" (Cole, 1211). (DSB XII, 427. Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 81:1800. Poggendorff, II, 927). Quelques minimes accrocs aux coiffes et coins. Très bon exemplaire, bien relié à l'époque.

In-12, demi-veau vert bronze de l’époque, dos lisse orné entièrement garni d'un résille dorée répétée et de filets dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, 147 p. titre compris. Édition originale. Ancien proche de Rousseau, avocat général au Parlement de Dauphiné, philosophe, homme des Lumières appuyé par Voltaire, Michel Antoine Servan (1737-1807) se livre ici à une violente critique des Confessions. Il critique la sincérité du texte, dénonce une vision des événements toujours partiale et tournée à l’avantage de l’auteur et la mise en cause de trop nombreuses personnalités gravement diffamées, en particulier Madame de Warens. Contient également deux textes polémiques contre Rousseau de Charles Borde, dont la "Profession de foi philosophique" (p. 112 à 136) qui obtint le soutien de Voltaire, et "Prédiction tirée d'un vieux manuscrit" (p.137 à 147). (Conlon, 'Rousseau', n° 672). Petite tache au titre. Mors légèrement frottés. Ex-libris armorié: "A. Le Mareschal Beauvais". Très bon exemplaire, bien relié à l’époque.
