Exploring The Green Horizon – Amit Bhattacharyya, Nupur Dasgupta, Rupkumar Barman

This volume seeks to address different aspects of environmental history — the inter-relationships between man and environment, from urban elite perception of nature as seen through the texts of Kalidasa to the modern perception as seen through the texts of Tarasankar, classical concept of ‘agro-ecology’, problems of environmental disaster and forced migration, special economic zones and its impact on nature and human beings. The volume also debates on related issues. Here one can have a glimpse of nature-human beings relationships over the ages and how state policies dictate such policies over the ages from the days of yore to modern times.
