"Essays ... presented at a conference entitled 'South Asia's Changing Environment', held at the Bellagio Conference Center, Lake Como, Italy, between 16 and 20 March 1992"--Pref.
First published: 1995
Environmental history is a fast developing field of critical enquiry. In both ecological and cultural terms, South Asia is characterized by its diversity. Ecological degradation, and the social conflicts that have come in its wake, have underlined the need for historical research in this field. This work should be of value to ecologists, environmentalists, historians, sociologists and those interested in peasant studies and India's environment.
