No Dustjacket.Remainder Marking. 0520248058. 275 pages. hardcover. keywords: History Environmentalism Consumption India America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Based on research conducted over two decades, this accessible and deeply felt book provides a provocative comparative history of environmentalism in two large ecologically and culturally diverse democraciesIndia and the United States. Ramachandra Guha takes as his point of departure the dominant environmental philosophies in these two countriesidentified as agrarianism' in India and wilderness thinking' in the U.S. Proposing an inclusive social ecology' framework that goes beyond these partisan ideologies, Guha arrives at a richer understanding of controversies over large dams, state forests, wildlife reserves, and more. He offers trenchant critiques of privileged and isolationist proponents of conservation, persuasively arguing for biospheres that care as much for humans as for other species. He also provides profiles of three remarkable environmental thinkers and activistsLewis Mumford, Chandi Prasad Bhatt, and Madhav Gadgil. Finally, the author asks the fundamental environmental questionhow much should a person or country consume?and explores a range of answers. Copub: Permanent Black. inventory #16938 ISBN: 0520248058.
