Late Victorian Holocausts
Author: Mike Davis
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781683603
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Examining a series of El NiƱo-induced droughts and the famines that they spawned around the globe in the last third of the 19th century, Mike Davis discloses the intimate, baleful relationship between imperial arrogance and natural incident that combined to produce some of the worst tragedies in human history. Late Victorian Holocausts focuses on three zones of drought and subsequent famine: India, Northern China; and Northeastern Brazil. All were affected by the same global climatic factors that caused massive crop failures, and all experienced brutal famines that decimated local populations. But the effects of drought were magnified in each case because of singularly destructive policies promulgated by different ruling elites. Davis argues that the seeds of underdevelopment in what later became known as the Third World were sown in this era of High Imperialism, as the price for capitalist modernization was paid in the currency of millions of peasants' lives.

Room 000
Author: Kalpish Ratna
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
ISBN: 1509803181
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Bombay, 1896. A serial killer is on the loose. In Room 000, detectives struggle to snare the culprit, but this murderer is always one step ahead of them. When death is a contagion that spreads from house to house and from street to street, where does one look for clues? As the investigators in Room 000, armed with microscopes and cultures, track the killer, they invent a new science. But the Raj imprisons Bombay in antiquated disciplines that turn the plague into an epic tragedy. Room 000 takes a Holmesian look at the Bombay Plague. In these pages, you'll meet the Argyll Street Irregulars, share the anxieties of the Reluctant Ephemerist, thrill to the discoveries of the Solitary Scientist, and shudder over the repulsive story of the Red Leech. Here too, is Tatya Lakshman, the first Indian detective of the Bombay Police in hot pursuit of the Parsi Plague Current. In their signature style, Kalpish Ratna meld science and adventure into intrigue and mystery. The forgotten truths of the Bombay Plague, seen from this very human perspective, will compel us to look at today's emerging epidemics in an entirely new light.
