Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book tells the story of the militant struggle in Punjab that was triggered by the events in 1978 and took the lives of about 50000 people during the period of about a decade and a half. The spectre of its revival continues to haunt the political and security establishment in India. The job of the journalist is to tell the story on the basis of available facts. This book is the first such attempt to tell the people as to waht sparked this struggle, who were the people in the beginning and how this discource shaped up as fight for a separate Sikh state. This story of Punjab is based upon the interaction with the people who were part of that struggle. The effort has been to cross-check the information that forms the basis of the narrative. The dynamics of the involvement of pakistan has been revealed by talking to the people who had stayed there for long. Historically, the Sikh religio-political discourse is synergy of both the peaceful and the militant struggles from the earlier days. Besides going to the roots of the present militant struggle, this book also details the peaceful struggle of which the Shiromani Gurdwaara Parbandhak Committee is the outcome. What is common in the peaceful as well as the militant religio-political discourse is the brutal state repression. Only selective militant actions have been taken up. These were the incidents that shaped the discource at crucial moments. This book shatters several myths about the struggle and the players involved.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Unbekannte Unterschrift / Widmung; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Boreal ecosystems contain one-third of the world's forests and stored carbon, but these regions are under increasing threat from both natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Written by leaders from the forefront of private, public and academic sectors, Restoration and Reclamation of Boreal Ecosystems emphasises a broad, conceptual approach to the specific application of empirical research into development planning, restoration and modelling of these ecosystems. The importance of this is highlighted at a time of global climate change, as these ecosystems act as carbon sinks. There is a focus on the reclamation of exploited ecosystems from a holistic standpoint, ranging from environmental and edaphic variables to the restoration of keystone flora. Recent advances in quantification of ecosystem services, such as habitat suitability and carbon storage modelling, are also detailed. The book contains case-studies which address how both historical and novel assemblages can provide ecosystem stability under projected climatic and land-use scenarios.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Like New. A nearly new hardback with no defects, just a few hardly noticeable rubs and bumps and a 'damaged' stamp to one of the preliminary pages. Despite such this book looks and feels unread with contents that are crisp, fresh and tight. Thus a very nice book in great condition, now offered for sale at a reasonable price.…

The validity of Thenun's model has been tested at different spatial scales under various geographical conditions in several countries of the world including India. There is however hardly any study in India which makes a comprehensive analysis of agricultural location in the rural hinterland around a market center for empirical testing of von Thenun's model of land use. The present book is commendable exception. Nearly 800 villages distributed in 26 kms long hinterland around Jalandhar City in Doab region of Indian Punjab have been divided into eight equidistant rings for empirical testing of von Thenun's land use model. The role distance from the market in geographical fashioning of agricultural land use around a city has been examined in a comprehensive and systematic manner. The right kind of questions raised in the book has been answered logically and comprehensively. The book divided into eight chapters examines the role of distance from the market in spatial organisation of land use intensity cropping pattern irrigation intensity agricultural productivity degree of commercialization of agriculture and dairy farming. The role of distance from the city was strongest in case of vegetable and fruit crops followed by density of dairy cattle density of poultry birds and irrigation intensity in a sequential order. The distance of 12 kms seems to be the critical one in their case. In contrast intensity of land use and intensity of cropping pattern were hardly influenced by the distance from Jalandhar City. Similarly agricultural productivity and the distance from the city find positive rather than negative relation. Over the period sugarcane has been more profitable crop than the paddy crop in the study area. In case of the former crop the location of sugar mills located in the seventh zone and the eighth zones was more critical than the market centre. That is why agricultural productivity has shown the highest values in money terms in these two zones falling far from Jalandhar City. This well researched and documented book will be of interest to scholarly audience in geography economics sociology in addition to bureaucrats and policy planners journalists activities and an informed general audience. 146 pp. …
