Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The book is brought out at a time when convergence of a multitude of events has generated enormous interest in conservation of biodiversity. The main feature that distinguishes this book from similar ones is its coverage of subjects. This book is not yet another document listing flora and fauna, but rather it goes into basic processes, responsible for generating, sustaining and accelerating diversification of biodiversity. Similarly it deals with causes of extinction. The readers will find discussion on the origin of biodiversity, its evolution, threats to biodiversity, as well as an account of the Indian scenario of biodiversity, along with conservation strategies. The chapters are arranged in a logical sequence and have been contributed by the scientists who are considered authorities on the respective research areas. This book would be of use as a ready reference on multiple aspects of biodiversity to students, researchers and policy-makers alike. A major departure from other books on biological diversity, this book will help the readers understand the basic issues and emerging areas of research. Although this is a multi-authored book, the chapters have been so chosen as to maintain continuity of discussion. The first section of the book deals with the origin and evolution of biodiversity. The second one deals with the drivers of loss in biodiversity, along with an article on mass extinctions. The third section deals with the unique richness of biodiversity in India, from microbes to man. The fourth and last section highlights a few conservation initiatives taken by India, including one global initiative. The authors of all the articles are well-known for their eminence in the respective fields.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali has long been celebrated as a milestone of spiritual lyricism and modern Indian identity. Yet the creative metamorphosis through which its Bengali verses became an English world classic remains underexplored. This book, Gitanjali Across Worlds: How Translation Became Transcreation, re-examines Gitanjali as a living text that moves across languages, cultures, and aesthetic systems. Combining translation theory, comparative poetics, and digital humanities, it traces how Tagore's act of self-translation evolves into a process of transcreation-where poetry becomes re-imagined art. From Bengali manuscripts to English publications, from Rabindra Sangeet to global adaptations, this work reveals how one text continually transcends linguistic borders to embody the idea of transliterature: literature that exists between languages and beyond nations. This is a ground-breaking seminal study of Tagore's genius as a translator, poet, and cultural bridge between East and West. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book addresses the various factors affecting fluvial systems, the processes governing them, system responses arising from human-nature interventions, and geospatial and geo-ecological modeling to understand system behaviour better and restore degraded ecosystems around the globe.Thanks to their hydrological and agro-ecological advantages, humans have settled along riverbanks since the dawn of civilization. Thus, the ancient 'ecumene' (settlements) were located near major rivers worldwide. This legacy of river-based civilizations continues to this day in many forms. However, in the course of the 'Anthropocene' era, countless fluvial systems have been altered by human interventions in the form of large-scale dams and barrages, changes in land use and land cover, road-stream crossings, mining of sand and gravel, mushrooming of brickfield, expansion of modern agriculture, industrial growth, and urbanization. Thus, the present-day development pattern threatens fluvial systems,especially riverine morphology and ecosystems. In brief, human-induced morphological changes, water pollution, eutrophication, and related damages to aquatic organisms are the major threats to fluvial systems. Thus, maintaining the 'environmental flow' of the world's major rivers to preserve the proper functioning of riverine ecosystems and promote sustainable development is a global challenge.
