Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his delightful The Valley of Flowers, mountaineer Frank Smythe takes you on a botanical expedition to the Garhwal Himalaya. Alongside the author, scale the steep craggy mountains and bathe in crystal clear pools; breathe in the scented foothills of the Himalaya and their carpets of peonies, roses, rhododendrons and gentian. Experience 'the keen, biting air of the heights and the soft, scented air of the valleys'. Climber and adventurer Smythe journeys through the Himalaya's Byundar Pass, climbs the Mana Peak, descends into the Byundar Valley, and comes terrifyingly close to an encounter with The Abominable Snowman. The Valley of Flowers is a pleasurable escape for any climber, walker, mountain lover or gardener, or indeed anyone who needs reminding of the beauty and serenity of the natural world.

Book excerpt: Unprecedented loss and changes in biodiversity are taking place at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels, in both terrestrial and marine groups of organisms. One of the major concerns of biodiversity loss is the reduction in the capacity of natural and managed ecosystems to render quality ecological services, such as production of food and fibre, carbon storage, nutrient cycling and resistance to climate and other environmental changes. The extraction of biomass resources such as fuel wood, fodder, timber etc., which was once within the carrying capacity of forests, has now crossed this limit in most of the resource-rich areas. Presently, habitat conversion and destruction are eliminating species at such a rapid pace that extinction of contemporary species is leading to imbalance of ecosystem. The problem of biodiversity loss needs to be minimized in order to keep the ecosystem functional. Therefore, assessing the causes and consequences of biodiversity loss and environmental changes, and establishing the bases for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, are major scientific challenges of our time. It is against this backdrop the present study was carried out with multidisciplinary approach to answer the following questions: " What are the spatial patterns of environmental change and biodiversity loss and their driving forces across the world in general and the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand in particular? " What are the linkages between land use/cover change, landslides and biodiversity loss? " To what extent community participation can help for conservation of biodiversity? The book will contribute to India s efforts in fulfilling the goals of the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE), Kyoto Protocol and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC). It will be useful for geographers, environmentalists, life scientists, mountain experts and policy makers.

Download or read book Steady Uttarakhand written by Mrityunjay Tripathi and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book on Uttarakhand begins its discussion by not the issues of policy but rather the rich heritage of flaura and fauna that Uttarakhand possesses and seeks to explain methods in which they can be used to strengthen the economy of the state. The book proposes a model for Uttarakhand that can be witnessed to be a developmental stalwart for the state. The model draws a logical corollary from the example of a similarly sized state i.e., Switzerland, the aim being to propose a developmental model that can be so adopted by the state that the economy and welfare of the state-dwellers is boosted many fold. The book then further seeks to analyse the pre-existing condition of security and defence in the state and unveils the existing threats to security that have their presence in the state. The author seeks to identi- fy and illuminate administrative deficiencies and extend develop- mental solutions to the government to bring Kumaon and Garhwal administrative divisions at par with each other. It also touches upon the rising menace of alcoholism and drug abuse in the state known as 'Dev bhoomi' and develop effective solutions to tackle the problem. The book would provide the readers with effective solutions to those issues of public policy and enable them to chisel their own critical thinking and look at the issues of public policy with the lens of an administrator.
