Download or read book The Wild Heart of India written by T.R. Shankar Raman. This book was released on 2019-05-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild—untamed, hostile, remote. Yet, wild can be gentle, welcoming, and inspiring, too. This is the wild that preoccupies biologist Shankar Raman as he writes about trees and bamboos, hornbills and elephants, leopards and myriad other species. Species found not just out there in far wildernesses—from the Thar desert to the Kalakad rainforests, from Narcondam Island to Namdapha—but amid us, in gardens and cities, in farms, along roadsides. And he writes about the forces that gouge land and disfigure landscapes, rip trees and shred forests, pollute rivers and contaminate the air, slaughter animals along roads and rail tracks—impelling a motivation to care, and to conserve nature. Through this collection of essays, Shankar Raman attempts to blur, if not dispel, the sharp separation between humans and nature, to lead you to discover that the wild heart of India beats in your chest, too.

Book Synopsis Continentof Circle by : Nirad C. Chaudhuri

Download or read book Continentof Circle written by Nirad C. Chaudhuri. This book was released on 1999-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Continent of Circe is the result of the author s life-time effort to understand the nature of things. It describes the human situation in India after Independence. The author resorts to the historical method, and surprisingly encounters not staticity, but a continuing dynamic and even explosive process within which history and geography have worked to create dissimilar communities and endless conflicts. The highlight of this book is undoubtedly the author s imaginative interpretation of the Hindu personality based on original sources. Chaudhuri s language is forceful and expressive, and his arguments are well defined and lucid. The book is the author s most compelling and authoritative work a landmark in Indian history.
