{"product_id":"the-biosphere-natarajan-ishwaran-9789535102922","title":"The Biosphere","description":"In this book entitled \"The Biosphere\", researchers from all regions of the world report on their findings to explore the origins, evolution, ecosystems and resource utilization patterns of the biosphere. Some describe the complexities and challenges that humanity faces in its efforts to experiment and establish a new partnership with nature in places designated as biosphere reserves by UNESCO under its Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. At the dawn of the 21st century humanity is ever more aware and conscious of the adverse consequences that it has brought upon global climate change and biodiversity loss. We are at a critical moment of reflection and action to work out a new compact with the biosphere that sustains our own wellbeing and that of our planetary companions. This book is a modest attempt to enrich and enable that special moment and its march ahead in human history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natarajan Ishwaran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9535102923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789535102922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intechopen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.75d","brand":"Natarajan Ishwaran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089172869375,"sku":"9789535102922","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce6c22dd-9605-4b8e-a1ca-ee3e0f1f77f1.jpg?v=1769108607","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-biosphere-natarajan-ishwaran-9789535102922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
