Download or read book Continental Shelves of the World written by F.L. Chiocci and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's continental shelves are the sites of vast resources of food, energy and minerals, the exploitation of which is continuously increasing. Fluctuating global sea levels throughout the Quaternary period produced multiple transgressive and regressive cycles that profoundly affected and shaped these shelves. The complex interactions among climate, sea level, tectonics, oceanography and sediment input have formed distinctive sediment packages on each shelf and provide a guide to the interpretation of older shelf sequences throughout the geological record. This Memoir compiles studies on 23 selected shelves from all the continents, focusing on their evolution and examining the patterns of sedimentation during the past approximately 125 000 years. In addition to providing basic background information for each area, the chapters consider specific aspects of continental shelf research, from seismic stratigraphy to geomorphology, from palaeoceanography to palaeo sea-level reconstruction and from palaeontology to geochemistry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aerial Photographs Shown In This Book Add A New Dimension To Our Viewing Pleasure- The Third Dimension. Most Of Us Have To Be Content With Two Dimensional Pictures Taken At The Ground Level. Twenty Six Main Forts Of Western India Have Been Selected, Taking Into Consideration Their Strength, Location And Their Place In History And Culture. They Have Been Arranged According To Their Location-Island Forts, Coastal Forts And Inland Forts, In Each Case Starting From The North And Proceeding South. The Photographs Show The Ruins Of The One Great And Formidable Forts. This Is Due To The Ravages Of Time As Well As The Policy Of The East India Company Which Supplanted The Marathas In 1818 As The Paramount Power In India. The New Masters Of India`S Destiny Destroyed Almost Every Single Fort In Western India As They Did Not Want To Leave Any Focal Point Where Freedom Would Flourish Again. Yet These Ruins Can Transport One To Those Days Gone By And Their Pristine Glory. One Only Needs A Feel For History And Some Imagination. The Forts Are An Integral And Important Part Of Medieval History And Their Ruins Are Our Priceless Heritage, To Be Preserved And Cherisged. However, There Are So Many Forts, Big And Small, That Physical Preservation Of All Of Them Will Be Well Nigh Impossible. But They Can Certainly Be Preserved In Print In A Kind Of A Gazetteer, Which Will Have All Available Information About Their History, Location, Layout, And Other Details. Photographs Form An Important Part Of This Process And This Volume Is A Small Step In That Direction. An Introduction Takes The Readers On A Short Journey To The Forts And The Climate Of History In Which They Functioned. Each Photograph Has A Brief Text Placed Opposite, Giving Some Details About The Fort. At The Same Time It Should Be Noted That A Photograph, However Good, Cannot Be A Substitute For A Visit To The Fort. And If A Traveller Chooses His Time And Route With Care, The Ruins Will Unfold, Vividly And Tantalisingly The Ambience Of The Fort And Those By-Gone Days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the world’s largest mangrove delta complex, located at Sundarban, a world heritage site, and on the relatively new and rapidly expanding scientific discipline of ichnology. In addition to presenting a range of ichnological research databases that are widely applicable to multidisciplinary research fields in geology, biophysics, biology, ecology, geomorphology and the marine and environmental sciences, it addresses the global concern of rising sea levels to explain growing ecological problems, from the mass mortality of coastal organisms and rapid loss of mangrove forest wealth, to widespread coastal and riverbank erosion. It also demonstrates the value of applying new ichnological tools to coastal geotechnical planning and programming, and to groundwater exploration. Thus, the book addresses a broad readership including earth scientists from various disciplines, state administrators and members of the general public.

This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume looks into the ways Indian Ocean routes shaped the culture and contours of early modern India. IT shows how these and other historical processes saw India rebuilt and reshaped during late medieval times after a long age of relative ‘stagnation’, ‘isolation’ and ‘backwardness’. The various papers deal with such themes including interconnectedness between Africa and India, trade and urbanity in Golconda, the changing meanings of urbanization in Bengal, commercial and cultural contact between Aceh and India, changing techniques of warfare, representation of early modern rulers of India in contemporary European paintings, the impact of the Indian Ocean on the foreign policies of the Mughals, the meanings of piracy, labour process in the textile sector, Indo-Ottoman trade, Maratha-French relations, Bible translations and religious polemics, weapon making and the uses of elephants. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of early modern Indian history in general and those working on aspects of connected histories in particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the complex nature of colonial and missionary power in Portuguese India. Written as a historical ethnography, it explores the evolving shape of a series of Catholic festivals that took place throughout the duration of Portuguese colonial rule in Goa (1510–1961), and for which the centrepiece was the 'incorrupt' corpse of São Francisco Xavier (1506–52), a Spanish Basque Jesuit missionary-turned-saint. Using distinct genres of source materials produced over the long duree of Portuguese colonialism, the book documents the historical and visual transformation of Xavier’s corporeal ritualisation in death through six events staged at critical junctures between 1554 and 1961. Xavier’s very mutability as a religious, political and cultural symbol in Portuguese India will also suggest his continuing role as a symbol of Goa’s shared past (for both Catholics and Hindus) and in shaping Goa’s culturally distinct representation within the larger Indian nation-state.

Download or read book Exploring South Asian Urbanity written by Suchandra Ghosh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the typologies of cities and ideas of urbanity. Focusing specifically on cities in South Asia, it analyses the unique planning concepts, archaeology, art, culture, life, and philosophy of various cities of ancient and modern South Asia. The book explores the concept of urbanity and the idea of an ideal city; it interrogates general notions of urbanity by juxtaposing city life in various periods and geographies of South Asia. By analysing the demography, architecture, rituals, and culture of various cities, it looks at the different spatialities of these places in terms of their size, population, commerce, and philosophy as well as the reasons behind the transformation of these places into urban centres. Drawing from various archeological and literary sources, the volume includes rich details about heterogeneity, rituals, festivals, social stratification, penal systems, famines, and insurrections in ancient cities as well as modern cities like Lahore, Dhaka, and Calcutta, among many others in South Asia. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of ancient and modern history, archaeology, urban studies, urban and town planning, urban sociology, urban geography, cultural studies, post-colonial studies, ancient and medieval architecture, heritage studies, conservation studies, and South Asian studies.
