RARE monograph on the nature and pace of grammatical change during the formative period of today's Indo-Aryan languages, with emphasis on the emergence and development of the ergative construction in terms of the passive-to-ergative reanalysis and the co-existence of the ergative construction with the old and new analytic passive constructions. Based on a wealth of new data gathered from original poetic works in Apabhramsa (by Svayaṃbhadeva, Puspadanta, Haribhadra, Somaprabha et al.), it also contains sections dealing with descriptive techniques of Medieval Indian grammarians (esp. Hemacandra), with all the Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhraṃśa examples consistently parsed and translated. 225x155mm. XXIV+267 pages. Hardcover. Front cover upper corner bumped. Cover corners and front cover bottom edge slightly rubbed. Rear cover bottom edge worn. Spine edges slightly bumped. Previous owner's small stamp on whitepage upper corner.

New English Paperback. 4to.(27 x 22 cm). In English. 198p., fully color photos. Iris Janssens: Did You Know? Text by Markus Schaden. Winner of the First Prize at the Kassel Dummy Award 2019! "Do you remember the horrible chemical industry disaster in Bhopal 1984 with thousands and thousands of dead and severely injured people? Did you know? uses an innovative concept to show the long-term impacts of this human-made tragedy. This deeply touching book is edited and compiled so as to form a strong photographic document and a manifesto of political activism. By transforming the book into hundreds of flysheets picked up by the readers, the story spreads all over and the work helps to prevent the disaster being forgotten. Did you know? opens up new inspiring thoughts about the role of the photobook in art and society today. Congratulations!". Thirty-two years after an enormous toxic cloud escaped from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, thousands of victims are still living in extremely degrading circumstances. They barely have access to pure water and they are unable to support themselves. The disaster killed 20,000 people, while 10,000 more were disabled, blinded or otherwise severely injured. In Bhopal, the disaster is not forgotten, with now a third generation of victims with congenital defects and a staggering mortality rate. The surroundings of the plant site were never cleaned up and is still poisonous, as is the heavily contaminated groundwater that contains forty times more pesticides than the allowed level.
