> Wallich and Indian Natural History:
> Collection Dispersal and the Cultivation of Knowledge.
>
> Date: 6th-7th December, 2011
> Location: The Natural History Museum, London and The Royal Botanic
> Gardens, Kew
>
> Abstract Submission Deadline: 30th August, 2011
>
> This international conference will be held from the 6th-7th December,
> 2011, on the general theme of South Asian natural history collections with
> a special emphasis on the collections of the Danish botanist Nathaniel
> Wallich (1786-1854), a major figure in the history and development of
> botany in the nineteenth century. As superintendent of the Calcutta
> Botanic Garden (1817-1846), he undertook botanical expeditions, described
> new plant species, amassed a large herbarium, collected thousands of plant
> specimens and commissioned local artists to draw beautiful botanical
> watercolours. His work has thus been influential in South Asian Natural
> History research.
>
> This conference will explore the challenges associated with exploiting
> such collections and the interesting opportunities they provide for
> interdisciplinary research. In particular, the conference will consider
> the experience of the recent "Wallich and Indian Natural History" project
> as an interesting exemplar (a collaboration with the British Library and
> The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and funded by the World Collections
> Programme).
>
> Major South Asian natural history collections from the 18th and 19th
> century are now dispersed across institutions in South Asia, Europe and
> beyond. Thus, the conference will be hosted by the Natural History Museum,
> London and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in partnership with the British
> Library. This conference plays an integral part in the World Collections
> Programme's funded project "Wallich and Indian Natural History".
>
> A full programme and travel information will be available on the Centre
> for Arts and Humanities (Natural History Museum) website,
> http://www.nhm.ac.uk/cahr, by the 30th September, 2011.
>
> The definition of 'South Asia', in this call for papers, refers to the
> wide geographical region, as opposed to the Indian subcontinent alone.
>
> Day One, 6th December
>
> The first day of the conference will be held at the Natural History
> Museum, and structured by three speaker sessions. The themes for these
> sessions are:
>
> 1) South Asian Natural History and Collections
> 2) Dispersal and Movement of South Asian Collections
> 3) Collection Exploitation and Digitisation
>
> Day Two, 7th December
> The second day will be devoted to an opportunity to view and discuss
> Wallich-related material at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
>
> Conference Themes:
>
> We welcome papers that address the following themes:
>
> 1) South Asian Natural History and Collections
> * The life and expeditions of Nathaniel Wallich
> * Early 19th century development of Indian botanical gardens
> * Preservation and conservation of collections
> * South Asian natural history drawings as a research resource

> history collections. International submissions are welcome.

> The American Council of Learned Societies, with funding from the Chiang
> Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange, invites
> applications for grants to support collaborative work in China studies
> in the form of conferences, workshops, and planning meetings.
>
> In this cycle of competitions we are soliciting proposals in the
> humanities and related social sciences that adopt an explicitly
> cross-cultural or comparative perspective. We invite submission of
> projects that, for example, compare aspects of Chinese history and
> culture with those of other nations and civilizations, explore the
> interaction of these nations and civilizations, or engage in
> cross-cultural research on the relations among the diverse and shifting
> populations of China. Proposals are expected to be empirically grounded,
> theoretically informed, and methodologically explicit.
>
> The program will support collaborative work of three types:
>
> * Planning Meetings: Grants up to $6,000 will be offered for
> one-day meetings to plan conferences or workshops, or for less
> structured explorations, e.g., brainstorming sessions.
> * Workshops: Grants of $10,000 to $15,000 will be offered for
> workshops designed to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas on
> newly available or inadequately researched data or texts in a collegial,
> seminar-like setting. Workshops are not mini-conferences with the
> presentation of formal papers describing work already done.
> * Conferences: Grants up to $25,000 will be offered for formal
> research conferences intended to produce significant new research that
> will be published in a conference volume.
>
> The program aims to promote interchange among scholars who may not
> otherwise have the opportunity to work together. Accordingly, proposals
> will not be supported for activities of scholars from one institution or
> that fall within an institution's normal range of colloquia, symposia,
> or seminar series. The program will not support regularly scheduled
> meetings, conventions, or parts thereof. Proposals must include at least
> one scholar from Taiwan as a participant.
>
> Eligibility
>
> The principal organizer must be affiliated with a university or research
> institution and must hold a Ph.D. There are no restrictions as to
> citizenship of participants or location of the project; however, it is
> expected the scholars from academic institutions in Taiwan will
> participate in conferences, workshops, and planning meetings.
>
> The deadline for completed applications is September 28, 2011.
>
> Visit http://www.acls.org/programs/cck for program guidelines and

The Encyclopedia of Ayurvedic Massagey John Douillard

The Encyclopedia of Ayurvedic Massage

Written by John Douillard,  Divine Books, Delhi 2011. Rs.900-00

(for Sale in Indian Sub-continent only)

Description:

Five thousand years old, Ayurvedic massage has been shown to still the mind and body by lowering metabolic rates and inspiring feelings of peace and calm. Often administered as a part of a three-, five-, or seven-day program, these treatments are an integral part of deep cleansing, rejuvenation, and life-extension Ayurvedic programs called panchakarma or kya kalpa. This book by a noted practitioner features more than 15 of these treatments, each described in step-by-step detail and some synchronized with two therapists for up to two hours in length. It provides the reader with all the tools necessary to begin Ayurvedic treatments as a part of a spa menu or massage therapy program.

Author Biography:

Dr. John Douillard is the author of The 3-Season Diet and Body, Mind, and Sport, which has sold over 60,000 copies and has been printed in six languages. His book Perfect Health for Kids, was released early last year, followed by The Encyclopedia of Ayurvedic Massage (both in 2004, North Atlantic Books). John received his Ayurvedic training in India and holds a Ph.D. in Ayurvedic medicine from the Open International University. He is the former Director of Player Development for the New Jersey Nets in the NBA. He co-directed Deepak Chopra's Ayurvedic center for eight years and has trained over 2000 Western doctors in Ayurvedic medicine. He launched a preservative-free Ayurvedic skin care line in 1998, and an Ayurvedic herbal line for health professionals in 2003. He has been teaching Ayurvedic medicine, natural health, fitness, and nutrition internationally for seventeen years. Currently he directs the LifeSpa School of Ayurveda and practices Ayurvedic and chiropractic medicine at LifeSpa in Boulder, Colorado, where he lives with his wife and six children.
