Motivated by concerns for environmental degradation, and the need to understand the mechanisms that drive ecological change, the study is situated in the academic domain of studies on human-nature interactions. The complex nature of interactions between human groups with their environment and their dependence on the situational context, requires that such studies be at a regional and local scale for which sufficient detail is available. This particular study is situated in the Nilgiri hills in the Western Ghats of Southern India for which such detailed information is available. The study reconstructs the ecological history of the Nilgiri area during the last 200 years, and from this laboratory of human-nature interactions, attempts to derive general patterns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prabhakar Rajagopal,Madhav Gadgil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639291344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639291346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Prabhakar Rajagopal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305529950463,"sku":"9783639291346","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ea187e4-9c2a-4ed1-b517-041ab13e3b24.jpg?v=1758831134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resource-use-culture-and-ecological-prabhakar-rajagopal-9783639291346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
