Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. About the Book: India: Brief History of a Civilization This book presents a comprehensive overview of 5000 years of Indian history. Balancing detail and brevity, it takes the reader from the ancient past to the near present: the very beginnings in Mohenjo-daro and Harappa; the Vedic age; the rise of Magadha; the Classical Age; the Mughals; the British rule; and the formation of the nation-states and socio-political developments post independence. Locating the deep past living on in the everyday present, this volume is an important resource to understand contemporary events.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Because of their size, elephants have long been irresistible for kings as symbols of eminence. In early civilizations-such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus civilization, and China-elephants were used for royal sacrifice, spectacular hunts, public displays, and their ivory-all aspects driving them toward extinction. The kings of India, however, Thomas Trautmann shows, found a use for elephants that actually helped preserve their habitat and numbers in the wild: war. This book traces the history of the war elephant in India and its spread as an institution from there to the West, where elephants featured within some of the greatest wars of antiquity. Southeast Asia and China are also examined for comparison and contrast within this environmental history spanning 3000 years and covering a vast terrain, from Spain to Java. Trautmann shows Indian kings capturing wild elephants and training them, one by one, through millennia. He reveals the political compulsions requiring the protection of elephants from hunters and their forests from being cut down. Taking a wide-angle view of human-elephant relations, he throws into relief the structure of India s environmental history and the reasons for the persistence of wild elephants in its forests. Written with uncommon flair and elegance, this is a monumental work of environmental history using Indian antiquity as its entry point. It will interest lay readers, historians, and environmentalists.…
