Download or read book Karimayi written by Chandrasekhara Kambar and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the archetypal Mother, the mother of all Chandrashekhar Kambar s stories, variously called Mayi, Idimayi, and now Karimayi, is at the heart of this novel. The narrative of Karimayi moves through an astounding time span, beginning from the mythopoeic times of Goddess Karimayi s birth to the historical and cultural shifts in the life of a small rural community called Shivapura during the British colonial era. Written in the Kannada language in 1975, Karimayi breaks the familiar narrative of an idyllic and traditional village community getting destroyed by the incursion of modernity. Instead, the multiple and layered narrative of Karimayi weaves everything into itself the story of the village s past, the myth of Karimayi, the disorder that sets in with the invasion of colonial modernity and the lure of the city, but, most importantly, also of the disruption of another form of native modernity that the village community has already begun to incorporate into its rhythms of life.

The book explores the evolution of sentiments regarding the potential of NTFPs in promoting options for sustainable multi-purpose forest management, income generation and poverty alleviation. Based on a critical analysis of the debates and discourses it employs a systematic approach to present a balanced and realistic perspective on the benefits and challenges associated with NTFP use and management within local livelihoods and landscapes, supported with case examples from both the southern and northern hemispheres. This book covers the social, economic and ecological dimensions of NTFPs and closes with an examination of future prospects and research directions.
Download or read book Trees Outside Forests written by R. Bellefontaine and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2002 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trees outside forests (including fruit trees, trees in parks, fields, those growing in the wild and as amenities), together with forests and other woodlands, contribute to the structure of the landscape, generate numerous environmental and social services, and yield important food, drink and fuel products as well as meeting other domestic needs of urban and rural populations. However, trees outside forests are not well documented and receive little attention in the formulation of national forestry policy and planning. This publication seeks to fill this gap, by providing information on the role of these resources and options for their integration in territorial management policies.

Download or read book Plant Soil and Microbes written by Khalid Rehman Hakeem and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interactions between the plant, soil and microbes are complex in nature. Events may be antagonistic, mutualistic or synergistic, depending upon the types of microorganisms and their association with the plant and soil in question. Multi-trophic tactics can therefore be employed to nourish plants in various habitats and growth conditions. Understanding the mechanisms of these interactions is thus highly desired in order to utilize the knowledge in an ecofriendly and sustainable way. This holistic approach to crop improvement may not only resolve the upcoming food security issues, but also make the environment greener by reducing the chemical inputs. Plant, soil and microbe, Volume 1: Implications in Crop Science, along with the forthcoming Volume 2: Mechanisms and Molecular Interactions, provide detailed accounts of the exquisite and delicate balance between the three critical components of agronomy. Specifically, these two titles focus on the basis of nutrient exchange between the microorganisms and the host plants, the mechanism of disease protection and the recent molecular details emerged from studying this multi-tropic interaction. Together they aim to provide a solid foundation for the students, teachers, and researchers interested in soil microbiology, plant pathology, ecology and agronomy.
