Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Jungle Adventures; From the Forests of India', as the name suggests, is an interesting book of short stories based on true jungle adventures in Indian forests. The Sunderbans National Park in India is home to the majestic Royal Bengal tiger and the high altitude Himalayan conifer forests like Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary are the favourite hunting grounds of the ferocious snow leopards. Before independence, tiger hunting was a popular sport among the British colonizers as well as the royal Indian maharajahs. Shortly after independence, the Indian government lawfully prohibited the ruthless killing of wild animals and hunting became a serious and punishable offence.Adventure in the jungle is the main theme, though there are elements of love, humour and humanity to enhance the colour of the stories. The stories will interest readers of all ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps it is not possible to experience all the mysterious sounds, the unfamiliar smells, and the spectacular sights of a tropical rainforest without ever visiting one. But this exhilarating and honest book comes wondrously close to taking the reader on such a journey. Bruce M. Beehler, a widely traveled expert on birds and tropical ecology, recounts fascinating details from twelve field trips he has taken to the tropics over the past three decades. As a researcher, he brings to life the exotic rainforests and the people who inhabit them; as a conservationist, he makes a plea for better ways of managing rainforestsa resource that the world cannot do without. Drawing on his experiences in Papua New Guinea, India, Madagascar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Panama, and the Ivory Coast, Beehler describes the surprisesboth pleasant and unpleasantof doing science and conservation in the field. He explains the role that rainforests play in the lives of indigenous peoples and the crucial importance of understanding local cultures, customs, and politics. The author concludes with simple but tough solutions for maintaining rainforest health, expressing fervent hope that his great-grandchildren and others may one day also hear the rainforest whisper its secrets.

Book India s Forests  Real and Imagined

Download or read book India s Forests Real and Imagined written by Alan Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As they seek to explore evolving and conflicting ideas of nationhood and modernity, India's writers have often chosen forests as the dramatic setting for stories of national identity. India's Forests, Real and Imagined explores how these settings have been integral to India's sense of national consciousness. Alan Johnson demonstrates that modern writers have drawn on older Indian literary traditions of the forest as a place of exile, trial and danger to shape new ideas of India as a modern nation. The book casts new light on a wide range of modern writers, from Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay – widely regarded as the first Indian novelist – to contemporary authors such as Amitav Ghosh, Arundhati Roy, and Salman Rushdie as well as local attitudes to nationhood and the environment across the country.

  • Author : Nitin Sekar
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2022-02-15
  • ISBN : 9354355862
  • Pages : 335 pages

Download or read book What s Left of the Jungle written by Nitin Sekar and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian officials estimate that over half a million families lose crops or property to wild elephants a year. Akshu Atri, born and raised in Buxa Tiger Reserve, is one such victim. Elephants have destroyed his kitchen, regularly take over half of his annual crop yield, and have even killed some of his neighbours. Akshu could hate elephants, but he doesn't - neither does his family nor most of their community. By telling Akshu's story - of his childhood destitution, family tragedies, romantic pursuits, entanglements with poachers and smugglers, and his tumultuous rise out of poverty - What's Left of the Jungle unravels the complex affection that rural Indians have for jungle wildlife. Akshu's story can help us understand both why some of the tropics' most crowded landscapes still host the world's most stunning wildlife - and what we might need to do to keep it that way.

Book Adventure Comics and Youth Cultures in India

Download or read book Adventure Comics and Youth Cultures in India written by Raminder Kaur and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering book presents a history and ethnography of adventure comic books for young people in India with a particular focus on vernacular superheroism. It chronicles popular and youth culture in the subcontinent from the mid-twentieth century to the contemporary era dominated by creative audio-video-digital outlets. The authors highlight early precedents in adventures set by the avuncular detective Chacha Chaudhary with his ‘faster than a computer brain’, the forays of the film veteran Amitabh Bachchan’s superheroic alter ego called Supremo, the Protectors of Earth and Mankind (P.O.E.M.), along with the exploits of key comic book characters, such as Nagraj, Super Commando Dhruv, Parmanu, Doga, Shakti and Chandika. The book considers how pulp literature, western comics, television programmes, technological developments and major space ventures sparked a thirst for extraterrestrial action and how these laid the grounds for vernacular ventures in the Indian superhero comics genre. It contains descriptions, textual and contextual analyses, excerpts of interviews with comic book creators, producers, retailers and distributers, together with the views, dreams and fantasies of young readers of adventure comics. These narratives touch upon special powers, super-intelligence, phenomenal technologies, justice, vengeance, geopolitics, romance, sex and the amazing potentials of masked identities enabled by navigation of the internet. With its lucid style and rich illustrations, this book will be essential reading for scholars and researchers of popular and visual cultures, comics studies, literature, media and cultural studies, social anthropology and sociology, and South Asian studies.
