Soft cover. Zustand: New. What the Rains Foretold relates an origin myth of Kerala and its people. N. Mohanan's work is an introspection into the mind of the protagonist, Vararuchi, and the tragic arc of his life. Young Vararuchi was an accomplished scholar, who sought to challenge destiny and overturn its writ. He was offered t…he coveted seat of the Royal Pundit at the King's court, but demurs and declares he wishes to pursue the truth. On hearing a prophecy that he is destined to marry the child of a Pariah couple, Vararuchi seeks to subvert fate. Later he marries Panchami, the beautiful and accomplished young daughter of a Brahmin, but learns she is the same child. They have twelve children, who are forsaken at his bidding as he pursues his quest for knowledge. The children grow into fine young people from different walks of lifereligion, warfare, the arts and craftsto become the progenitors of Kerala, a land that thrives with prosperity and contentment. The conclusion that blends repentance and forgiveness provides a cathartic resolution. This elegant translation makes an age-old tale accessible to a wider audience, as well as reveals the soul-stirring questions beneath the timeless story.

Various steps have been taken world over to achieve this goal. Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is the most important and globally binding effort made towards this. But it is a pitty that even now, our knowledge on biodiversity of this planet is very meagre. Tropical forests which harbour over two-third of world's biodiversity still remain under explored.It is also quite alarming that maximum destruction is happening in such forests. Hence every efforts towards exploration and documentation of biological wealth is highly appreciable because there are very many chances for species to get extinct before they are made known to the world."In recent years Agasthyamala and its environs has attracted attention of various botanists due to high endemism, presence of relic flora and richness in medicinal plant wealth. Considering this uniqueness, Henry et al. (1984) have recommended the area as potential to be conserved as Biosphere Reserve. IUCN (1987) also have identified Agasthyamala and its environs as one among the three important mega centres of diversity within India which needs immediate conservation. (Recently in 2001, the Government of India has declared Agasthyamala as a Biosphere Reserve)". " 889 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Kerala is a narrow strip of lush green land with a geographical area of 39,863 sq km stretching along the western coast of the Peninsular India. Part of the Western Ghats, the state mainly harbours wet, semi evergreen, moist and dry deciduous forests, sholas and grasslands. The world knew about the plant…s of Kerala through van Rheede`s Hortus Malabaricus (1678-1693). Since then hundreds of publications have come out but there is no work which comprehensively deals with the entire flowering plants of the state. This handbook fills the gap. It provides correct name, important synonyms, habit, reference to good descriptions and illustrations, distribution in the world, the Western Ghats and Kerala, indigenous, endemic and exotic nature, conservation status, phenology, uses, Malayalam names and other important details. The work treats 4681 species, 58 subspecies and 287 varieties as occurring in Kerala. An authentic guide for all who deal with the flowering plants of Kerala, the Western Ghats, India and the tropics, this volume is structured in a precise and user friendly manner to access any single or collective information of a species with the least effort. This makes the handbook unique and anybody`s first point of reference.
