Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) is minimally invasive surgery to operate on tiny, delicate structures within the middle ear. It differs from traditional ear surgery in that surgeons access the middle ear through the ear canal rather than through an incision behind the ear. This atlas is a step by step guide to TEES for practising and trainee otologists. Divided into 15 sections, the book begins with an overview of the history and principles of endoscopic ear surgery. The next chapters cover middle ear anatomy, operation theatre set up, instruments, and imaging. The remaining sections describe TEES techniques for different disorders, covering both basic and advanced procedures, concluding with a chapter on recent advances and future developments. Presented in a step by step approach, each method is explained clearly with pre- and intraoperative considerations and guidance on their management. The book is highly illustrated with more than 400 high definition figures and 140 hand-drawn images demonstrating each step of surgery. Tips and pearls are also included. With this comprehensive atlas, comes access to operative videos via a QR code provided in the book.

In 2005, the Foundation for Agrarian Studies (FAS) initiated the Project on Agrarian Relations in India (PARI), with the aim of studying village-level production, production systems and livelihoods, and the socio-economic characteristics of different strata of the rural population by means of detailed village surveys. The present volume is the third in a series of field reports on surveys conducted by FAS in three villages in Karnataka: Alabujanahalli in Mandya district, Siresandra in Kolar district, and Zhapur in Gulbarga district. A census survey was conducted in the three selected villages. A unique feature of these surveys is the estimation of household incomes based on detailed information on income from crop production, animal resources, agricultural and non-agricultural wage labor, salaries, business and trade, rent, interest earnings, pensions, remittances, scholarships and other sources. The two previous volumes in the series, Socio-Economic Surveys of Three of Three Villages in Andhra Pradesh: A Study of Agrarian Relations and Socio-Economic Surveys of Two Villages in Rajasthan: A Study of Agrarian Relations, have already appeared from Tulika Books.
