This is especially evident in regard to Bangladesh, much of which is perilously close to sea level and vulnerable to flooding, and which has long been the recipient of various development schemes for "poverty reduction" or "progress" to justify interventions in its environment and society. Some of these projects have resulted in severe, often unintended, environmental effects, such as silting of waterbodies that are surrounded by embankments; biodiversity loss and weakening of the sea walls (which protect against floods) resulting from tiger-prawn monoculture; and loss of soil fertility in intensive agriculture. Camelia Dewan utilizes ethnography and environmental history to highlight flawed assumptions of international development projects in Bangladesh, which often misread the coastal landscape by attributing causality solely to climate change. Examination of multiple and often conflicting perspectives-from poor rural coastal populations, middle-class elites, political actors, and NGO staff-shows how, since the colonial era, Bangladesh has endured intrusions, and how its current environmental crisis goes beyond global warming. This case study informs broader issues worldwide by documenting how the idea of climate change shapes development projects in the Global South, and the extent to which these endeavors correspond with the problems and concerns of populations they are intended to help. This provocative study will be welcomed by readers in the fields of environmental anthropology, human geography, and development studies"--Provided by publisher.Culture, place, and nature.Climatic changesSocial aspectsBangladeshClimatic changesEconomic aspectsBangladeshEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsBangladeshBangladeshEnvironmental conditionsclimate change; development; Coastal BangladeshClimatic changesSocial aspectsClimatic changesEconomic aspectsEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspects338.95492Dewan Camelia1070955MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910508485703321Misreading the Bengal Delta2565433UNINA03015nam 2200721Ia 450 991096897630332120240417003039.09786610286423978030913360903091336029781280286421128028642397803096528650309652863(CKB)1000000000245221(OCoLC)568005658(CaPaEBR)ebrary10103968(SSID)ssj0000102596(PQKBManifestationID)11990937(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000102596(PQKBWorkID)10049292(PQKB)11175800(MiAaPQ)EBC3378021(Au-PeEL)EBL3378021(CaPaEBR)ebr10103968(OCoLC)923275680(Perlego)4737748(EXLCZ)99100000000024522120050909d2006 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrAmerica's lab report investigations in high school science /Committee on High School Science Laboratories--Role and Vision, Board on Science Education, Center for Education, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education ; Susan R.
