DIVSolvent-based paints have been used in automotive applications since the days when automobiles were called “buggies� and the horsepower was provided by, well, horses. But recent EPA regulations have restricted solvent-based paints for use only in approved professional paint booths, meaning that do-it-yourselfers can no longer use them—and it won’t be long before their use is banned entirely. Paint manufacturers have raced to develop water-based paints as a replacement for the solvent-based paints previously used. These new water-based automotive paints are of very high quality, but they require different methods and techniques for proper application, virtually rendering previous automotive paint books obsolete./divDIV/divDIVAutomotive Paint from Prep to Final Coat is the first book to provide instruction in these new paints. In addition to this critical information, author and top professional painter JoAnn Bortles covers all the techniques necessary to get the great results your car deserves. From initial body-panel preparation, to troubleshooting common problems, to application of the final coat, and all steps in between, this book is the only reference you will need to ensure your DIY automotive paint job is done right the first time./div

Kanchipuram was one of the important and major urban centers in the lower Palar river in south India during the Early Historical period. Now it is a satellite center of Metro Chennai, however, still, the importance of the town has appeared in the form of art and architecture, pilgrimage, education and industries. The archaeological explorations followed by excavations were carried out by the Department of Sanskrit and Indian Culture, Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Maha Vidyalaya (SCSVMV Deemed to be University), Enathur, Kanchipuram on the northern part of Tamil Nadu under the direction of Prof. S. Rama Krishna Pisipaty, author of the present volume, along with his research scholars from 2000 onwards. This effort revealed that the region to be very prolific and has high potential from an archaeological point of view. The excavator exposed many significant localities in and around the Kanchipuram of different natures such as Stone Age, Early Iron Age Megalithic burials as well as habitations along with iron workshops and also Early Historic period structures, both secular and religious, besides collecting a rich crop of antiquities. The explorations and excavations brought to light that the early human occupation in the lower Palar right from the Early Stone Age and a continuation in human activities have appeared even till now in the region. By the end of the last millennium BCE, the concentration of settlements appeared towards the rivers Vegavati and Palar in the region. Therefore, the entire cultural appendage has been divided into three volumes with different headings, depending upon the nature of assemblage viz. 1. Stone Age 2. Early Iron Age 3. Early Historical period. The present volume no 1 deals with the evidence related to the Early Historical period activities (Late Sangam, pre or early Pallava and during Pallava i.m. a few centuries before starting the present era up to Pallava) in and around the Kanchipuram region, from Sriperambattur taluk on northeastern up to present Palar river bed on the southwestern direction. The richest crop of Inscriptions and Art & Architecture of the Kanchipuram region are not discussed in the monograph which has already been studied and published by many scholars. The present volume is a brief survey of the results of different field seasons explorations and excavations so as to enable the readers to have a bird’s-eye view of the culture, technologies and other aspects relating to the Early Historical period to realize the importance of the region in its proper resemblance.

In Fictions of Consent Urvashi Chakravarty excavates the ideologies of slavery that took root in early modern England in the period that preceded the development of an organized trade in enslaved persons. Despite the persistent fiction that England was innocent of racialized slavery, Chakravarty argues that we must hold early modern England—and its narratives of exceptional and essential freedom—to account for the frameworks of slavery that it paradoxically but strategically engendered. Slavery was not a foreign or faraway phenomenon, she demonstrates; rather, the ideologies of slavery were seeded in the quotidian spaces of English life and in the everyday contexts of England's service society, from the family to the household, in the theater and, especially, the grammar school classroom, where the legacies of classical slavery and race were inherited and negotiated. The English conscripted the Roman freedman's figurative "stain of slavery" to register an immutable sign of bondage and to secure slavery to epidermal difference, even as early modern frameworks of "volitional service" provided the strategies for later fictions of "happy slavery" in the Atlantic world. Early modern texts presage the heritability of slavery in early America, reveal the embeddedness of slavery within the family, and illuminate the ways in which bloodlines of descent underwrite the racialized futures of enslavement. Fictions of Consent intervenes in a number of areas including early modern literary and cultural studies, premodern critical race studies, the reception of classical antiquity, and the histories of law, education, and labor to uncover the conceptual genealogies of slavery and servitude and to reveal the everyday sites where the foundations of racialized slavery were laid. Although early modern England claimed to have "too pure an Air for Slaves to breathe in," Chakravarty reveals slavery was a quintessentially English phenomenon.
