Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?I am impressed, ?Maha Rashtra? couldn't have been exemplified more enticingly. You?ve sprung a ?winner?. Just an appraisal transports you into the realms of nature and emits a blissful oneness with its beauty and wonder so much so that one is enthralled enough to envisage traversing through the rugged terrain and reveling in the rich heritage our beloved Maharashtra has been endowed with. Thank you Milind, for giving us the opportunity to share your romance with nature. You have my blessings and kudos!? Amitabh Bachchan ?I must admire the wonderful effort put in by well known personality Milind Gunaji in putting together this praiseworthy venture in the form of a travel guide. Maharashtra is the state I belong to and hold very close to my heart. It has always been my desire to explore it in greater detail and visit all the places which lend to its heritage. However due to my various work commitments, this desire of mine has remained largely unfulfilled. However through this book I will find the opportunity of fulfilling this desire at least through its pages which have been put together by Milind. I applaud him for his very detailed work for which he has found time despite having a busy career. Indeed there could be no better gift that he could have given his home state, our beloved Maharashtra. My congratulations to Milind and the entire team behind the release of this book.? Lata Mangeshkar "Milind has sprung one more surprise on me. I knew him as an actor, then learnt about his photography, now about his writing which is of a very distinct quality. Poets collect images of nature in words and verses, painters do it with paints on canvas, but Milind has done a unique collection of landscapes and historical spots of Maharashtra.To share it with wanderers of poetic temperament he has noted down the routes and characteristics of each spot. The book in itself is a unique tour for the tourist." Gulzar, Poet and lyricist "I have known Milind as an actor, indeed as an extrodinarily sincere and intense one. I also knew about his trips to unknown destinations in remote parts of Maharashtra. He also has a fine eye for visuals reflected in his photographs. Milind Gunaji is truly the wandering spirit of Maharashtra ." Govind Nihalani, Film Director "Milind Gunaji is an excellent actor. And we are dear friends bonded by our love for nature. I roam the jungles photographing wild animals. But Milind goes off the beaten track and gives us an altogether new picture of a state that the famous Marathi poet Ram Ganesh Gadkari (Govindagraj) described as a land of rugged landscapes and pious associations. He is verily an ambassador for Maharashtra tourism." Uddhav Thackeray, Executive President, Shiv Sena "The more I travel all over the world, the more I realize how unique India truly is. Offbeat Trails in Maharashtra by Milind Gunaj documents this diversity which is India's greatest strength. His keen eye as a photographer unravels the mystery and the splendour of Maharashtra." Shabana Azmi, Actress and activist "I feel overall this is a very interesting book, very well compiled.? Jagdish Maali, Film maker and photographer

Download or read book Order without Design written by Alain Bertaud and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure. Urban planning is a craft learned through practice. Planners make rapid decisions that have an immediate impact on the ground—the width of streets, the minimum size of land parcels, the heights of buildings. The language they use to describe their objectives is qualitative—“sustainable,” “livable,” “resilient”—often with no link to measurable outcomes. Urban economics, on the other hand, is a quantitative science, based on theories, models, and empirical evidence largely developed in academic settings. In this book, the eminent urban planner Alain Bertaud argues that applying the theories of urban economics to the practice of urban planning would greatly improve both the productivity of cities and the welfare of urban citizens. Bertaud explains that markets provide the indispensable mechanism for cities’ development. He cites the experience of cities without markets for land or labor in pre-reform China and Russia; this “urban planners’ dream” created inefficiencies and waste. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world, Bertaud links cities’ productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed.

Download or read book Forestry in Karnataka a Journey of 150 Years written by DIPAK SARMAH and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book traces the history of forestry since the middle of the 19th century in the erstwhile territorial units that constitute the present state of Karnataka, in India. It provides glimpses of the forest policy and management of the British Indian government which had laid the foundations of scientific forestry in the Indian subcontinent. A chronological account of the development of national forest policies, plans, and strategies in post-independent India has also been given in the context of their impact on forest management in the states. The book dwells comprehensively on multifarious aspects of forestry including the challenges faced by a forester in a situation of increasing demand and shrinking forest. It highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the forest administration and recommends strategies to protect the remaining natural forest and to increase the tree cover everywhere to effectively confront the specter of environmental catastrophes facing the planet earth. The book has brought out the inseparable and intrinsic relationship of mutual interdependence between forest and water – two of the most important natural resources on which the future of mankind depends, and calls for urgent action. With detailed data, analysis, and inferences derived with an open mind, the book forms a reference document for the present and future foresters. Problems of the forestry sector in the developing world are similar. Although the book focuses on the forestry scenario in Karnataka, lessons learned and strategies recommended for forest conservation are relevant across a larger landscape, with similar challenges and problems.
