LOOKING THROUGH THE LENS
This book “Looking through the Lens: Scientific Enrichment of our Children” mainly deals with the methods of teaching science and the problems faced therein. The greatest plight of our Science Education in the country is that since Independence we haven't been able to produce any Noble Laureates. We have highly talented youth population living in the rural India which needs to be uplifted. The author strongly emphasizes that the teaching of science should be started right from the early years in childhood. This can only be achieved by changing the methods of teaching right at the preprimary and the primary stages. The teachers should be trained to see that the child’s curiosity, zest, vitality and interest are maintained throughout the school life. Our examination system also needs a revamp, and this should be taken up seriously. One of the greatest setbacks of our educational system is that our children are not able to apply the acquired knowledge to an unknown situation and solve a problem they face. The author blames our examination system for it. He further speaks about the importance of teaching English language in our country.

The volume’s focus on the raw materials and practices that shaped artefacts both mundane or fantastical in medieval narratives offers a fresh perspective on the medieval world that takes seriously the vibrancy of matter as a vital aspect of textual culture often overlooked.
A Material History of Medieval and Early Modern Ciphers
The first cultural history of early modern cryptography, this collection brings together scholars in history, literature, music, the arts, mathematics, and computer science who study ciphering and deciphering from new materialist, media studies, cognitive studies, disability studies, and other theoretical perspectives. Essays analyze the material forms of ciphering as windows into the cultures of orality, manuscript, print, and publishing, revealing that early modern ciphering, and the complex history that preceded it in the medieval period, not only influenced political and military history but also played a central role in the emergence of the capitalist media state in the West, in religio...
