This hunger is less dramatic but no less damaging than the starvation associated with famines, wars and natural disasters. Seasons of Hunger explores why the world does not react to a crisis that we know will continue year after year.Seasonal hunger is caused by annual cycles of shrinking food stocks, rising prices, and lack of income. This hidden hunger pushes millions of children to the brink of starvation every year, permanently stunting their physical and cognitive development, weakening their immune systems and opening the door for killer diseases. Action Against Hunger argue that ending seasonal hunger could save millions of young lives and is key to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. This book documents seasonal hunger in four countries - India, Malawi, Mali and Myanmar - including personal stories and country-wide data which shows the magnitude of the problem. The authors also find encouraging examples of interventions designed to address seasonality - initiatives led by governments, donors and NGOs, and poor people themselves - and propose a package of advocacy messages that could contribute to the global eradication of seasonal hunger. This book will be a valuable resource for journalists, policy makers, NGO members and students of development studies. 606 $aHunger$zDeveloping countries 606 $aRural poor$zDeveloping countries 606 $aFamines$zDeveloping countries 606 $aFood supply$zDeveloping countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHunger 615 0$aRural poor 615 0$aFamines 615 0$aFood supply 676 $a338.191724 22 700 $aDevereux$b Stephen$f1959-$0122674 701 $aVaitla$b Bapu$01032565 701 $aSwan$b Samuel Hauenstein$01032566 701 $aChambers$b Robert$088688 712 02$aHunger Watch (Organization) 712 02$aAction Against Hunger (Association) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454698503321 996 $aSeasons of hunger$92450526 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03157nam 22004811 450 001 9910511681603321 005 20190626093806.0 010 $a1-350-98559-7 010 $a1-78672-098-1 010 $a1-78673-098-7 024 7 $a10.5040/9781350985599 035 $a(CKB)4340000000188834 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4890518 035 $a(OCoLC)1114409491 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09263500 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000188834 100 $a20190708d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aBritish imperialism in Qajar Iran $econsuls, agents and influence in the Middle East /$fH.

H. Lyman Stebbins investigates the development and consequences of British imperialism in Iran in a time of international rivalry, revolution and world war. While previous narratives of Anglo-Iranian relations have focused on the highest diplomatic circles in Tehran, London, Calcutta and St. Petersburg, this book argues that British consuls and political agents made the vast southern borderlands of Iran the real centre of British power and influence during this period. Based on British consular archives from Bushihr, Shiraz, Sistan and Muhammarah, this book reveals that Britain, India and Iran were linked together by discourses of colonial knowledge and patterns of political, military and economic control. It also contextualizes the emergence of Iranian nationalism as well as the failure and collapse of the Qajar state during the Iranian Constitutional Revolution and the First World War."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $2Colonialism & imperialism 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAsia 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zIran 607 $aIran$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a955.04 700 $aStebbins$b H.
