Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Himalayas are said to be the youngest mountain ranges in the world. This book studies the well-being of the eastern Himalayan forest-dwellers in terms of their capabilities and functioning. Using Amartya Sen’s and Martha Nussbaum’s Capabilities Approach, it examines the educational and health opportunities and substantial freedoms afforded to farmers and pastoralists living and working in the Senchal and Singalila Protected Areas of North Bengal, India. It also discusses the challenges and potential of the Forest Rights Act as a well-being delivery mechanism. The book adopts a comparative narrative of socio-ecological information generated from interviews, ecological field methods, remote sensing and participatory rural appraisals to provide insight on human development in conservation contexts. This volume will be of interest to students and researchers of conservation biology, development studies, socio-ecological systems studies, political ecology, human development index, ecological economics, environmental sociology, and South Asian studies. It will also be useful to policy-makers and NGOs in the conservation and livelihoods sector.

Book excerpt: The volume complied under the rubric of people of the Himalayas: Ecology, Culture Development and Change is an ambitious geographic multidisciplinary study concerning the little or scantily explored mountain ranges of Himalayas. The book has six major themes, which are the subject of 42 chapters. The study aims at having systmatic scientific knowledge of the conditions of the habitats, socio-cultural knowledge of the conditions of the habitats, socio-cultural development and change and their impact on the overall environmental situations presently obtaining in the sprawling 2,700 km long Himalayan ranges; extending from the south-east extreme of the Karakorams across Kashmir to Assam. The work covers the Himalayan highland as well as the lowland habitations including those in the plain catchment area in the north-east. Having taken a cursory glance at the Himalayan physiographic features, the study has noted that the age-old ever sustaining subsistence level of livelihood waned following the steady advent of urbanization and westernization among the Himalayan ranges since around the early twentieth century. The volume contains contributions from eminent scholars and researchers having direct first hand enthnographic study of the Himalayan habitations. The papers cover multiple parameters of study. Starting with the conceptual aspects of human ecology and environment, the volume comprises papers dealing with geoenvironmental incompatible situations, biodiversity-cum-eco-development, eco-historical perspectives, material culture and its components and last but not the least, change and its effect. The millennium old pristine tribal life that nestled in the Himalayan heights since perhaps prehistoric times fast came to the metamorphosed, and in this context, though the need of urgent anthropology is long past, the present work is worth being rather late than never.The wide diversity of the subject matter described in 42 chapters will make this book of interest to anthropologists, social scientists (geography, economics, history, sociology, political science etc.).

Download or read book Culture and the Environment in the Himalaya written by Arjun Guneratne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with human-environment relations in the Himalaya. It explores how different populations and communities in the region understand or conceive of the concept of environment, how their concepts vary across lines of gender, class, age, status, and what this implies for policy makers in the fields of environmental conservation and development. The chapters in this book analyse the symbolic schema that shape human-environment relations, whether that of scientists studying the Himalayan environment, public officials crafting policy about it, or people making a living from their engagement with it, and the way that natural phenomena themselves shape human perception of the world. A new approach to the study of the environment in South Asia, this book introduces the new thinking in environmental anthropology and geography into the study of the Himalaya and uses Himalayan ethnography to interrogate and critique contemporary theorizing about the environment.
