商品簡介
This omnibus brings together two books that have radically altered our understanding of Indian history. The first book, This Fissured Land, presents an interpretative ecological history of the sub-continent. It offers a theory of ecological prudence and profligacy, testing this theory across the wide sweep of South Asian history. The second book, Ecology and Equity, is a spirited intervention into the environment-development debate. The authors offer an innovative agenda for environmental and social renewal. Both books have attracted much attention, within the academic community as well as outside it. The Use and Abuse of Nature is required reading for those interested in South Asian Politics, history and environmental studies.
