Book Description
Excerpt from A Geography of India: Physical, Political, and Commercial 1. The great continent of Asia divides in the south into three vast peninsulas Arabia on the west, indo-china on the east, and the southern half of India in the centre. India proper includes the whole of the central peninsula, and stretches northwards to the mountain ranges which separate it from Central Asia. The northern half is often called Continental India, to distinguish it from Peninsular India, the southern half. The Tropic of Cancer is, speaking roughly, the dividing line between these two. From this line Peninsular India stretches southwards for more than or over miles while Continental India extends almost as far to the north.

Capital, Interrupted
Author: Vinay K. Gidwani
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452913714
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
The central Gujarat region of western India is home to the entrepreneurial landowning Patel caste who have leveraged their rural dominance to become a powerful global diaspora of merchants, industrialists, and professionals. Investigating the Patels’ intriguing ascent, Vinay Gidwani analyzes its broad implications for the nature of labor and capital worldwide. With the Patels as his central case, Gidwani interrogates established concepts of value, development, and the relationship between capital and history. Capitalism, he argues, is not a frame of economic organization based on the smooth, consistent operation of a series of laws, but rather an assemblage of contingent and interrupted logics stitched together into the appearance of a deus ex machina. Following this line of thinking, Gidwani points to ways in which political economy might be freed of its lingering Eurocentrism, raises questions about the adequacy of postcolonial studies’ critique of Marx and capitalism, and opens the possibility of situating capitalism as a geographically uneven social formation in which different normative or value-creating practices are imperfectly sutured together in ways that can equally impair and enable profit and accumulation. Both theoretically astute and empirically informed, Capital, Interrupted unsettles encrusted understandings of staple concepts within the human sciences such as hegemony, governmentality, caste, and agency and, ultimately, does nothing less than rethink the very constitution of capitalism. Vinay Gidwani is associate professor of geography and global studies at the University of Minnesota.

Moral Geography
Author: Amy DeRogatis
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 9780231127899
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
With a foreword by Edward O. Wilson, this book brings together internationally known experts from the scientific, societal, and conservation policy areas who address policy responses to the problem of biodiversity loss: how to determine conservation priorities in a scientific fashion, how to weigh the long-term, often hidden value of conservation against the more immediate value of land development, the need for education in areas of rapid population growth, and how lack of knowledge about biodiversity can impede conservation efforts. United in their belief that conservation of biological diversity is a primary concern of humankind, the contributing authors address the full scope of global biodiversity and its decline -- the threatened marine life and extinction of many mammals in the modern era in relation to global patterns of development, and the implications of biodiversity loss for human health, agricultural productivity, and the economy. The Living Planet in Crisis is the result of a conference of the American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation.
