This Fissured Land : An Ecological History of India (Oxford India Paperbacks)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Using a general theory of ecological history, the authors provide a fresh interpretation of India's history, including an ecological account of the caste system and a sociological analysis of resource use. Madhav Gadgil, a professor of ecological sciences, and Ramachandra Guha, a professor of
sociology, present in this volume a collaborative perspective on the subcontinent which is rare, pathbreaking, and long overdue.

From the Back Cover
"A masterful study. . . . It does for ecological history what the writings of Marx and Engels did for the study of class relations and social production." (Michael Adas, Rutgers University) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
