Paperback. Zustand: New. Illustrated. A geographer with extensive research experience in the Canadian North, Jack D. Ives has written a lively and informative account of several expeditions to Baffin Island during the "golden age" of federal research. In the 1960s, scientists from the Geographical Branch of Canada's Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources travelled to Baffin to study glacial geomorphology and glaciology. Their fieldwork resulted in vastly increased knowledge of the Far North-from its ice caps and glaciers to its lichens and microfossils. Drawing from the recollections of his Baffin colleagues as well as from his own memories, Ives takes readers on a remarkable adventure, describing the day-to-day experiences of the field teams in the context of both contemporary Arctic research and bureaucratic decision making. Along the way, his narrative illustrates the role played by the Cold War-era Distant Early Warning Line and other northern infrastructure, the crucial importance of his pioneering aerial photography, the unpredictable nature of planes, helicopters, and radios in Arctic regions, and of course, the vast and breathtaking scenery of the North.Baffin Island encompasses both field research and High Arctic adventure. The research trips to Baffin between 1961 and 1967 also served as a vital training ground in polar studies for university students; further, they represented a breakthrough in gender equality in government-sponsored science, thanks to the author's persistence in having women permitted on the teams. The book contains a special section detailing the subsequent professional achievements of the many researchers involved (in addition to the later career moves of Ives himself) and a chapter that delves deeper into the science behind their fieldwork in the North. Readers need not be versed in glaciology, however. Ives has produced a highly readable book that seamlessly combines research and adventure.…

Minor handling wear, book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. ISBN sticker on rear board. -- Himalayan Perceptions: Environmental Change and the Well-Being of Mountain Peoples reassesses the widely accepted but scientifically contested Theory of Himalayan Environmental Degradation. Prevalent in the 1970s and 1980s, this theory linked rapid population growth and subsistence farming in the Himalayas to deforestation, soil erosion, and downstream flooding in the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin. Drawing on post-1989 research, the book critically analyzes how this narrative emerged, gained institutional support, and persisted in policy frameworks, despite growing counter-evidence. Chapter 1 deconstructs the theory's eight-point model, which outlined a feedback loop between forest loss, agricultural decline, and increased flooding. It traces how aid agencies, governments, and media promoted this scenario, often in the absence of consistent empirical data. Chapter 2 extends the discussion beyond Nepal to the wider Hindu Kush-Himalaya, including the Karakorum, Pamir, and Hengduan Mountains, arguing that regional heterogeneity was overlooked in favor of oversimplified generalizations. Chapters 3 through 5 revisit the key claims around forest cover, land degradation, and the supposed link to flooding. Chapter 3 uses historical evidence to argue that large-scale deforestation occurred mostly before 1950, driven by taxation policy and state incentives rather than local subsistence needs. Chapter 4 uses geomorphological studies and comparative photography to challenge assumptions about terrace failure and slope instability, demonstrating that local farmers actively manage and maintain agricultural landscapes. Chapter 5 questions the correlation between mountain deforestation and lowland flooding, suggesting more significant influences from plain-based hydrological factors. Chapter 6 addresses physical hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, and glacial lake outburst floods, distinguishing between human-induced and naturally occurring events. The discussion emphasizes how tectonic uplift, precipitation variability, and river dynamics shape long-term geomorphological processes. Chapter 7 evaluates the role of tourism in shaping cultural landscapes, livelihood strategies, and environmental stress. Case studies from Nepal, northwest Yunnan, and northern Pakistan explore how increased tourism influences land use, architectural preservation, and local economies. Chapter 8 highlights socio-political tensions, particularly the marginalization of ethnic minorities, military interventions, and state-sponsored development. It links resource extraction, conflict, and insurgency to wider issues of governance and exclusion. Chapter 9 surveys opportunities and constraints for sustainable development, contrasting top-down planning with grassroots initiatives. It discusses institutional bottlenecks, donor agendas, and the resilience of local practices. Chapter 10 examines how distorted narratives and selective reporting have shaped public perception and policy design, reinforcing crisis discourses despite contradictory evidence. Chapter 11 reflects on the persistence of misleading environmental paradigms and proposes reframing development around the needs and knowledge of mountain communities. It advocates for regional cooperation, culturally appropriate resource management, and policy grounded in multi-scalar, interdisciplinary research. The study integrates data from field surveys, historical records, remote sensing, and local narratives. It draws on two decades of collaborative work under the United Nations University Mountain Project, offering a resource for scholars and practitioners examining environmental policy, mountain livelihoods, and the politics of development discourse. …
