The series of five lectures revolves around certain issues relating to modern art, particularly modern Indian art. The attempt is to open up the issues and see them in a broader perspective, hoping that any discussion this may elicit will enlarge our understanding of the modern art situation such as modernity, eclecticism, nostalgia which have entered our vocabulary, and which lends themselves to reinterpretation today. Some of the questions addressed are as follows: What concept does a modern artist or critic have of current art activity? How does a modern artist react to his environment and cultural inheritance? Under what perceptions or illusions or emotional urges does he work? And what general norms of achievement can we think of in the highly heterogeneous art scene of today? K. G. Subramanyan draws upon his considerable experience as a practising artist and theoritician to present a series of probing discussions which engage with contemporary art concerns from a modern Indian perspective. The Living Tradition: K. G. Subramanyan studies the attempts of several thinkers and artists in the last century including Havell, Coomaraswamy, Okakura, Abanindranath Tagore, Nandalal Bose and Rabindranath Tagore to identify, interpret or steer clear of an Indian artistic tradition, to show how some of them had defined a growth structure of several levels of activity interacting with each other at one time, as well as a variable succession of these over time.

Compact but comprehensive, this textbook presents the essential concepts of electronic circuit theory. As well as covering classical linear theory involving resistance, capacitance and inductance it treats practical nonlinear circuits containing components such as operational amplifiers, Zener diodes and exponential diodes. The book’s straightforward approach highlights the similarity between the equations describing direct current (DC), alternating current (AC) and small-signal nonlinear behaviour, thus making the analysis of these circuits easier to comprehend. Introductory Circuits explains: the laws and analysis of DC circuits including those containing controlled sources; AC circuits, focusing on complex currents and voltages, and with extension to frequency domain performance; opamp circuits, including their use in amplifiers and switches; change behaviour within circuits, whether intentional (small-signal performance) or caused by unwanted changes in components. In addition to worked examples within the text a number of problems for student solution are provided at the end of each chapter, ranging in difficulty from the simple to the more challenging. Most solutions for these problems are provided in the book, while others can be found on the accompanying website. Introductory Circuits is designed for first year undergraduate mechanical, biomedical, materials, chemical and civil engineering students who are taking short electrical engineering courses and find other texts on the subject too content-heavy for their needs. With its clear structure and consistent treatment of resistive, reactive and small-signal operation, this volume is also a great supporting text for mainstream electrical engineering students.

Handbook of Analog Circuit Design deals with general techniques involving certain circuitries and designs. The book discusses instrumentation and control circuits that are part of circuit designs. The text reviews the organization of electronics as structural (what it is), causal (what it does), and functional (what it is for). The text also explains circuit analyses and the nature of design. The book then describes some basic amplified circuits and commonly used procedures in analyzing them using tests of amplification, input resistance, and output resistance. The text then explains the feedback circuits—similar to mathematical recursion or to iterative loops in computer software programs. The book also explains high performance amplification in analog-to-digital converters, or vice versa, and the use of composite topologies to improve performance. The text then enumerates various other signal-processing functions considered as part of analog circuit design. The monograph is helpful for radio technicians, circuit designers, instrumentation specialists, and students in electronics.

This book contains an evidence-based pedagogic guide to enable any motivated teaching/training professional to be able to teach effectively and creatively. It firstly summarises the extensive research field on human psychological functioning relating to learning and how this can be fully utilised in the design and facilitation of quality learning experiences. It then demonstrates what creativity actually 'looks like' in terms of teaching practices, modelling the underpinning processes of creative learning design and how to apply these in lesson planning. The book, having established an evidence-based and pedagogically driven approach to creative learning design, extensively focuses on key challenges facing teaching professionals today. These include utilising information technologies in blended learning formats, differentiating instruction, and developing self-directed learners who can think well. The main purpose of the book is to demystify what it means to teach creatively, explicitly demonstrating the principles of good pedagogic design and communication strategies that underpin such activity. The message is clear - creative teaching competence is both a highly useful and a learnable capability.

Secrets of Creativity combines insights from an interdisciplinary group of experts to reveal the secrets of creativity that emerge from our everyday lives, and from the minds of exceptional individuals and their discoveries. Neuroscientists describe the functioning of the brain in creative acts of scientific discovery or artistic production. Humanists describe the workings of the creative mind in the composition of literary works and in works of art and music. Creativity is explored with respect to forms of intelligence, modes of experience, emotions, memory, and the interplay between the brain's nonconscious and conscious system activities.

As the frequency of communication systems increases and the dimensions of transistors are reduced, more and more stringent performance requirements are placed on analog circuits. This is a trend that is bound to continue for the foreseeable future and while it does, understanding performance trade-offs will constitute a vital part of the analog design process. It is the insight and intuition obtained from a fundamental understanding of performance conflicts and trade-offs, that ultimately provides the designer with the basic tools necessary for effective and creative analog design. Trade-offs in Analog Circuit Design, which is devoted to the understanding of trade-offs in analog design, is quite unique in that it draws together fundamental material from, and identifies interrelationships within, a number of key analog circuits. The book covers ten subject areas: Design methodology, Technology, General Performance, Filters, Switched Circuits, Oscillators, Data Converters, Transceivers, Neural Processing, and Analog CAD. Within these subject areas it deals with a wide diversity of trade-offs ranging from frequency-dynamic range and power, gain-bandwidth, speed-dynamic range and phase noise, to tradeoffs in design for manufacture and IC layout. The book has by far transcended its original scope and has become both a designer's companion as well as a graduate textbook. An important feature of this book is that it promotes an intuitive approach to understanding analog circuits by explaining fundamental relationships and, in many cases, providing practical illustrative examples to demonstrate the inherent basic interrelationships and trade-offs. Trade-offs in Analog Circuit Design draws together 34 contributions from some of the world's most eminent analog circuits-and-systems designers to provide, for the first time, a comprehensive text devoted to a very important and timely approach to analog circuit design.
