Soft cover. Zustand: New. India faces an ecological crisis of massive proportions The overexploitation of the country?s forests and wetlands is eating away at vital ecological processes Rapid and unplanned economic development threatens to fragment and devour the wildlife habitats that remain Plant and animal species are joining the ranks of the critically endangered at faster rates than ever before Using the Sariska Tiger Reserve as one of its major anchors this book analyses the historical socio-political and biological contexts of nature conservation in the country in an effort to identify the malaise underlying India?s dominant conservation paradigm which is primarily one of top-down control and exclusion It then surveys alternative approaches to conservation emerging in India and elsewhere which attempt to reconcile social equity with biodiversity goals The author argues that a broad-based participatory approach to conservation accommodating both use-based and preservationist paradigms is necessary if we are to see India?s extraordinary wildlife survive into the next century Environmental justice and improved governance have to be as much a part of this agenda as sound ecological science and practice 288 pp.…

Wildlife today is competing with some of India's most underprivileged people for survival. This apart commercial and industrial pressures from far outside part boundaries reverberate within these fragile ecological oases making them vulnerable in a way they never have been before. Reconciling the question of preserving what little wildlife remains with the needs of humans has never seemed as tangled. Fortress conservation based solely on strict nature protection is one response to these pressures a response under attack. Recent tiger crises and tribal land rights debates have highlighted the opposition of strict preservationists to advocates of people's rights. Meanwhile fresh work in sociology and biology and innovative interventions show new ways forward that do not neatly fit existing paradigms. The book moves from generalities to specifics from ideal models to working approaches that seek to secure India's biodiversity by fashioning practical responses based on new often unexpected partnerships. A lucid introduction outlines the conservation situation in India the essays that follow illustrate various facets of it. Each essay is deeply grounded in the field the authors explore whether and how far animal and human needs can be reconciled. Making Conservation work articulates a new urgent discourse on conservation. It is a volume that looks ahead with cautious hope. For all who want to understand the conservation debate today this is an indispensable book. 298 pp.…

In twenty-first century India, characterised by economic reforms and increased global demand for natural resources and minerals, the environment, primary resources, biodiversity and wilderness have come under unprecedented stress. In this context, Nature Conservation in the New Economy presents studies of conservation efforts after economic liberalisation, and the institutional, legal, scientific, political and social constraints in meeting conservation goals. Building on sustained case research across India, the chapters in this book examine conservation policies in diverse contexts, such as the Wildlife Protection Act in Northeast India; the management of Delhi s forests; conservation of the Chilgoza pine forests in the Western Himalayas and rainforests in the Jaintia hills, Meghalaya; and forest preservation in the Western Ghats. Nature Conservation in the New Economy also explores laws and regulatory policies on species reintroduction, coastal conservation and wetland management in India. The book argues that apart from the increased stress on natural resources and habitats, economic liberalisation has also led to conservation efforts becoming more enterprise-oriented. The authors study the relationship between wildlife conservation and local people; institutions and social change; and the role of science in conservation. (jacket).…

Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. Contents Acknowledgements. Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The method of conversion. 3. Formulas calculating the Julian and the Gregorian dates of the first day of any lunar month. 4. The method of interchanging the old and new style dates. Index. There are many books dealing with this specialized subject but when the author engaged himself in this work he found from his study and experience that the conversion tables in circulation are not very comprehensive and suffered mainly from two shortcomings inaccuracy and intricacy. This work tries to rectify both. On this topic author's cyclopedic work of interchanging Gregorian and Hijrah dates from 120 BH to 2010 AH (506 AD to 2571 AD) has already published under the title of A Compendium of Muslim and Christian Dates. But in the present title author has specifically compiled the Julian Era dates from 564 AD to 1582 AD (60 BH to 990 AH) and the Gregorian Era dates from 1583 AD (991 AH) onwards. This work consists of four chapters in all. Chapter I is exclusively devoted to the delineating the inadequacy of the extant conversion tables adoption of the new style dates interchanging of the old and new style dates and the Muslim day and the Christian day. Chapter II is concerned with interchanging of the Hijrah and Christina dates from 564 AD (60BH) onwards. Chapter III deals with the formulas to calculate the Julian or the Gregorian date of the first day of any Iunar month from 564 AD (60 BH) onwards. Chapter IV is exclusively for interchanging of the old and new style dates. This handbook of interchanging Muslim and Christian Era dates has been prepared after considerable study and labour with the hope that it will be useful to students and scholars as well as laymen alike. 106 pp.…
