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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCulture, place, and nature. 606 $aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects$zBangladesh 606 $aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects$zBangladesh 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$zBangladesh 607 $aBangladesh$xEnvironmental conditions 610 $aclimate change; development; Coastal Bangladesh 615 0$aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 676 $a338.95492 700 $aDewan$b Camelia$01070955 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508485703321 996 $aMisreading the Bengal Delta$92565433 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01292oam 2200373I 450 001 9910697670803321 005 20151028102815.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002390253 035 $a(OCoLC)227891936 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002390253 100 $a20080513j199904 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aModeling and analysis of adjacent grid point wind speed profiles within and above a forest canopy /$fArnold Tunick 210 $aAdelphi, MD $cArmy Research Laboratory$dApril 1999 215 $a1 online resource (iii, 21 pages) $cillustrations 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed on Oct. 28, 2015). 300 $a"ARL-MR-432." 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 13-15). 606 $aWinds$xSpeed$xMathematical models 615 0$aWinds$xSpeed$xMathematical models. 700 $aTunick$b Arnold$01392009 712 02$aU.S. Army Research Laboratory, 801 0$bDTICE 801 1$bDTICE 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910697670803321 996 $aModeling and analysis of adjacent grid point wind speed profiles within and above a forest canopy$93446248 997 $aUNINA
