Ecosystem-Based Disaster and Climate Resilience
Author: Mahua Mukherjee
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811648158
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 519
Book Description
This book provides an introduction to the critical role of ecosystem-based disaster risk resilience (Eco-DRR) for building community resilience to multiple environmental risks such as rising heat, water stress, and pollution. Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) is an Eco-DRR tool that is an under-explored paradigm and can respond as one common strategy to targets set by the Sustainable Development Goals (UNDP), Climate Agreements (UNEP), the Sendai Framework (UNISDR), and the New Urban Agenda (UNCHS). Highlighted here in a systematic way is the importance of blue-green infrastructures in resilience building. The purpose is to introduce readers to the challenging context of development and opportunity creation for Eco-DRR. The roles of policy, scientific research, and implementation are presented cohesively. An attractive proposition of the book is a collection of case studies from different parts of the world where integration of BGI is experimented with at various levels of success. It envisages that shared tacit experiences from the realm of practice will further strengthen explicit knowledge. The focus in this book is on need and context building, policy and science (investigation, analysis, and design), case studies, and a road map for the future in four successive parts. Each part is self-sufficient yet linked to its predecessor, successor, or both, as the case may be.

A Beauty By Its Blue Reflection
Author: Neelima Rajawat
Publisher: BecomeShakespeare.com
ISBN: 9354380662
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
A Beauty By Its Blue Reflection is the 27 years journey of an Indian girl, including different phases of life with different perceptions but a single thought. Neelima grew up in a lower middle-class family, where people didn’t even want to accept her as their daughter. Her journey has gone through tiny tales of ups and downs in life. Everyone has an influential story. Sometimes, one’s learning phase can be a solution to tackle a similar problem in someone else’s life. All chapters here can make you flow with emotions like happy, sad, inspired, adorable and independent because Neelima’s life is little logical & more magical as framed by a Software engineer. As a software engineer, I tried to write this book in a pattern as we develop a software which we use to call a waterfall model which goes through several phases like analysis, design, coding testing, & maintenance. So here, I considered life as software and have written the book as making different phases of life one after the other. Last but not the least, why does the index of chapters start with 0 and numbers are written inside the square brackets? because in basic computer programming languages array indexes start with zero. Although Zero is one of the turning points of Neelima’s life.

Author: Nandini Sengupta
Publisher: Hachette India Children's Books
ISBN: 9389253659
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
It’s not just humans who make history, you know. So move over, chroniclers and historians. For centuries, we’ve been ignored, forgotten, occasionally footnoted (thanks a lot). It’s time we took centre stage. Strongest allies, faithful friends...we’ll even go so far as to say we were the soulmates of great kings and queens, princes and princesses, warriors and administrators. From saving their lives (while putting ours at risk) and leading them to victory in war to being a constant source of joy and love, we’ve done it all. Take a tour of Akbar’s dazzling court with his favourite cheetah, Samand Manik. Learn about the heroic battle of Haldighati – straight from Chetak’s mouth. Find out what Chhatrapati Shivaji was really like – from his dog, Waghya. Full of daring exploits, epic romances and heart-wrenching moments, these underdog (oh calm down, Bucephalus, it’s just a term!) stories are unlike anything you’ve ever read before!

Blue Sky Kingdom
Author: Bruce Kirkby
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1643135694
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
A warm and unforgettable portrait of a family letting go of the known world to encounter an unfamiliar one filled with rich possibilities and new understandings. Bruce Kirkby had fallen into a pattern of looking mindlessly at his phone for hours, flipping between emails and social media, ignoring his children and wife and everything alive in his world, when a thought struck him. This wasn't living; this wasn't him. This moment of clarity started a chain reaction which ended with a grand plan: he was going to take his wife and two young sons, jump on a freighter and head for the Himalaya. In Blue Sky Kingdom, we follow Bruce and his family's remarkable three months journey, where they would end up living amongst the Lamas of Zanskar Valley, a forgotten appendage of the ancient Tibetan empire, and one of the last places on earth where Himalayan Buddhism is still practiced freely in its original setting. Richly evocative, Blue Sky Kingdom explores the themes of modern distraction and the loss of ancient wisdom coupled with Bruce coming to terms with his elder son's diagnosis on the Autism Spectrum. Despite the natural wonders all around them at times, Bruce's experience will strike a chord with any parent—from rushing to catch a train with the whole family to the wonderment and beauty that comes with experience the world anew with your children.
