There are several transnational rivers that flow to eastern and north-eastern India through Bhutan, Nepal and China. Geological and environmental changes; the construction of dams, barrages and hydroelectric power projects as well as their side effects; and massive floods, soil erosion and a rise in silt beds have changed the traditional relationship between these rivers and the civilizations settled near their banks. River, Society and Culture presents these dynamics in the context of the rivers of Bengal (both West Bengal and Bangladesh) and Assam. It focuses on four rivers-the Titash, the Tista, the Kalahi and the Raidak-to illustrate the intimate relationship, both historical and contemporary, between these life-giving rivers and their people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rup Kumar Barman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9356870527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789356870529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Primus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Rup Kumar Barman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217141944575,"sku":"9789356870529","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_387dbd68-4c1d-45d5-a2f8-d28b5032cc8e.jpg?v=1728514405","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/river-society-and-culture-rup-kumar-barman-9789356870529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
