Poignant, witty, melancholic and intense, this is the best of four decades of prose from one of India's masters of the written word. The worst thing about being a human being is being a human being. 'I wish I was bird', as the railway clerk in Nissim Ezekiel's poem says. But if I were, the worst thing about being a bird would be being a bird. Welcome to the world of Adil Jussawalla, poet, columnist, critic. The essays and entertainments collected in this volume take in everything from language to poetry, from ethics to model aero planes, from death and addiction to travel and alienation. In these pages, you will meet poets, novelists, construction labourers, gamblers and, most startlingly, Jussawalla himself as a boy who lost himself at the movies as the acned adolescent on a ship watching a storm at sea as the flaneur of South Mumbai. Poignant, witty, melancholic and intense, this is the best of four decades of prose from one of India's masters of the written word.

A Treatise on Moon Maps aims to contextualize Moon maps and to create a space for them in the history and philosophy of cartography. Such a space has been wanting. Although not a linear chronological history of lunar mapping, this book is the most comprehensive and detailed examination of printed Moon maps derived from visual telescopic observation (1610-1910), making it a valuable resource.Recognizing that not all Moon maps were made for the same reasons, the maps are separated into several functional categories making it easier to explore their broader cultural and social contexts as well as treating them as discrete cultural artifacts with distinct voices.A Treatise on Moon Maps will appeal to astronomers, both professional and amateur, as well as to historians. Institutions and individual map collectors will find the breadth and depth of illustration, with the correlative text, particularly useful.
