Empirical evidence unpacks grounded vulnerabilities and reveals their temporal socio-economic impacts. A novel concept of \u003ci\u003e'everyday disasters' \u003c\/i\u003eis proposed - supported by data and photographic evidence - that contests institutional disaster definition. Then it uncovers how the geopolitics of ecological governance and its hegemonic discourse dominate local policies, which in turn fail to address local socio-ecological concerns, adaptation needs and development aspirations. Absence of local vocabularies, cognitive values and socio-cultural contexts along with spatially constricted, exclusionary, top-down techno-science approaches further escalate knowledge-action gaps. Deconstruction of multiscalar conflicts between the global rhetoric and transformative postcolonial geographies offers an ethical, Southern perspective of sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aditya Ghosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319638912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319638911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Aditya Ghosh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48519770702079,"sku":"9783319638911","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caac7e5f-0f83-450b-94f8-5db626f3bbb1.jpg?v=1778738709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sustainability-conflicts-in-coastal-india-aditya-ghosh-9783319638911","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
