South Asia: An Environmental History shows how the civilizations of this geographically diverse region were formed (physically, ethically, and culturally) by their interactions with the environment--a relationship with particularly strong social and spiritual dimensions because of the interdependence of the predominantly agrarian population and the land. Specific topics range from ancient irrigation techniques and peasant adaptation to the environment, to the impact of imperialism on nature, the effect of post-colonial technology on contemporary life, and the enduring influence of religion on the way South Asian societies address ecological issues. 410 0$aNature and human societies. 606 $aHuman ecology$zSouth Asia$xHistory 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 676 $a304.20954 700 $aHill$b Christopher V.$f1953-$01352481 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910693500803321 996 $aSouth Asia$93180252 997 $aUNINA
