Focusing on chars-the part-land, part-water, low-lying sandy masses that exist within the riverbeds in the floodplains of lower Bengal-the authors show how, both as real-life examples and as metaphors, chars straddle the conventional categories of land and water, and how people who live on them fluctuate between legitimacy and illegitimacy. The result, a study of human habitation in the nebulous space between land and water, charts a new way of thinking about land, people, and people's ways of life. 410 0$aYale agrarian studies series. 606 $aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on$zSouth Asia 606 $aHuman ecology$zSouth Asia 606 $aRiver life$zSouth Asia 607 $aSouth Asia$xEconomic conditions 607 $aSouth Asia$xRural conditions 607 $aSouth Asia$xSocial conditions 607 $aSouth Asia$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aRiver life 676 $a304.2095414 700 $aLahiri-Dutt$b Kuntala$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0415187 702 $aSamanta$b Gopa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462850203321 996 $aDancing with the River$92458617 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03329nam 2200589Ia 450 001 9910139754003321 005 20170815170312.0 010 $a0-470-54988-2 010 $a1-119-20571-9 010 $a1-282-27865-7 010 $a9786612278655 010 $a0-470-54987-4 035 $a(CKB)1000000000790150 035 $a(EBL)456094 035 $a(OCoLC)456432444 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000165018 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12054730 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000165018 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10125499 035 $a(PQKB)10885469 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC456094 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000790150 100 $a20090611d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe grand energy transition$b[electronic resource] $ethe rise of energy gases, sustainable life and growth, and the next great economic expansion /$fRobert A.

Written with the knowledge and authority of a major player in this industry, Hefner relates how misguided government policies and vested industry interests have contributed to our current energy problems and proposes a variety of measures that could encourage the use of natural gas, solar, wind, and hydrogen.
