Download or read book Silent Valley written by T. M. Manoharan and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silent Valley, situated in Palakkad district of Kerala in the southern Western Ghats, is one of the richest, most threatened and least studied forest tracts in India. Silent Valley caught international attention a decade ago when the people, with the moral support of conservationists in India and abroad including international bodies like the IUCN, WWF etc. campaigned to save Silent Valley from being submerged in the reservoir of a hydroelectric project. This unprecedented movement heralded a new epoch of environmental awareness and ecological ethics. Silent Valley was subsequently declared a National Park in 1984 as a precious gift to the posterity and it became a symbol of nature conservation in the country. / This anthology brought out by the Kerala Forest Department contains 38 articles in four parts. The first part narrates the historical evolution and the second delineates the managerial evolution of the Silent Valley National Park. The third and fourth parts deal with the flora and fauna and their conservation strategies. Spectacular photographs by eminent nature photographers adorn the pages, offering but a glimpse of the treasures of Silent Valley. Unique in contents and treatment, this volume, like the success story of the Silent Valley Movement, is a tribute to Nature and vouches for what can be achieved when naturalists, forestry experts and scientists join hands for the cause of conservation.

Download or read book The West Beyond the West written by Jean Barman and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-08-25 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Columbia is regularly described in superlatives both positive and negative - most spectacular scenery, strangest politics, greatest environmental sensitivity, richest Aboriginal cultures, most aggressive resource exploitation, closest ties to Asia. Jean Barman's The West beyond the West presents the history of the province in all its diversity and apparent contradictions. This critically acclaimed work is the premiere book on British Columbian history, with a narrative beginning at the point of contact between Native peoples and Europeans and continuing into the twenty-first century. Barman tells the story by focusing not only on the history made by leaders in government but also on the roles of women, immigrants, and Aboriginal peoples in the development of the province. She incorporates new perspectives and expands discussions on important topics such as the province's relationship to Canada as a nation, its involvement in the two world wars, the perspectives of non-mainstream British Columbians, and its participation in recreation and sports including Olympics. First published in 1991 and revised in 1996, this third edition of The West beyond the West has been supplemented by statistical tables incorporating the 2001 census, two more extensive illustration sections portraying British Columbia's history in images, and other new material bringing the book up to date. Barman's deft scholarship is readily apparent and the book demands to be on the shelf of anyone with an interest in British Columbian or Canadian history.
