Download or read book Karakoram written by Siân Pritchard-Jones and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Karakoram, is the story of three great empires that eventually clashed amongst the most rugged mountains of the world - the Pamirs, the Tien Shan and the Karakoram. The Russian 'bear', the British 'lion' and the Chinese 'dragon' were the three great adversarial animals that dominated Asia in the late 19th century. This was the Great Game - a chess game of historical intrigue. The modern Karakoram Highway between Pakistan and China is the final twist in the story - the highway of history. For today's travellers, the region is a vast melting pot of people, cultures, scenery and excitement. But what will be the scenario for the travellers of tomorrow? Will they be forced by security issues and deadly bureaucracy to see the world only through computerised screen images divorced from reality? Or will they too be able to journey across lands of different cultures, admiring the jewels of nature? Perhaps, despite the contradictions of modern mankind, they will experience the touches of kindness that people everywhere are still eager to show to a stranger. This book tells more than a story; it is an historical amalgam laced with travellers' tales of Asia over 40 years, illustrated with a vivid collection of nearly 200 photographs.

Download or read book Karakoram in Transition written by Hermann Kreutzmann and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the age of globalization the interconnectedness of world regions is perceived to a much higher degree than ever before. The remoteness of mountain areas has been converted into a view of mountains as a resource centre from where life-spending water originates, as an abode of pristine cultures, herbs, and niches. Pakistan incorporates some of the highest mountain regions, and the Karakorams have been one of the least known for many centuries. Here we find some of the steepest slopes, mass mobilization, earthquakes and the water towers of humankind. At the same time these areas are of geopolitical interest in boundary making and control. Trade routes of the caravan age have been transformed into motorable roads such as the Karakoram Highway. The impact of these changes are addressed in this book in which for the first time eminent scholars from various disciplines cooperate in an international effort to combine state of the art research results about the Hunza Valley. The academic interest in different aspects from culture, ecology, economy and development has been the starting point for presenting the Hunza Valley as an example of high mountain research from which new insights into sustainable mountain development can be derived. Therefore the focus on a specific valley opens methodological and conceptual venues based on sound empirical data from fieldwork experiences. The Hunza Valley can be considered as an arena of research and development for half a century. With this book the most recent insights are presented in a holistic effort.

Download or read book Socio-Environmental Dynamics along the Historical Silk Road written by Liang Emlyn Yang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses socio-environmental interactions in the middle to late Holocene, covering specific areas along the ancient Silk Road regions. Over twenty chapters provide insight into this topic from various disciplinary angles and perspectives, ranging from archaeology, paleoclimatology, antiquity, historical geography, agriculture, carving art and literacy. The Silk Road is a modern concept for an ancient network of trade routes that for centuries facilitated and intensified processes of cultural interaction and goods exchange between West China, Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. Coherent patterns and synchronous events in history suggest possible links between social upheaval, resource utilization and climate or environment forces along the Silk Road and in a broader area. Post-graduates in studying will benefit from this work, as well as it will stimulate young researchers to further explore the role played by the environment in long-term socio-cultural changes.

Download or read book Reconfiguring the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor written by Jeremy Garlick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a great deal of speculation and prognostication about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The project’s name suggests it is intended to be an ‘economic corridor’ connecting Pakistan overland with China’s Xinjiang province. This book examines whether CPEC’s primary purpose is as an overland conduit for trade and economic cooperation between China and Pakistan. The key finding is that aims related to regional geopolitics and internal security have, in reality, a more significant impact. The book demonstrates that China’s goals in Pakistan are primarily geopolitical rather than geo-economic, since the notion of constructing an economic and transportation ‘corridor’ between Pakistan and China is logistically and economically problematic due to a range of foreseeable problems. Most importantly, border disputes with India and the containment of domestic separatism motivate are the driving forces for cooperation between the partners. This book will be of interest to scholars who research the BRI, as well as policy makers.

Download or read book Ethnobiology of Mountain Communities in Asia written by Arshad Mehmood Abbasi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural resources and associated biological diversity provide the basis of livelihood for human population, particularly in the rural areas and mountain regions across the globe. Asia is home to the world's highest mountain regions including the Himalayas, Karakorum and Hindukush. These regions are renowned around the globe because of their unique beauty, climate, and biocultural diversity. Because of geoclimatic conditions, the mountains of Asia are medicinal and food plant diversity hot spots. The indigenous communities residing in the valleys of these mountains have their own culture and traditions, and have a long history of interaction with the surrounding plant diversity. Local inhabitants of these mountains areas possess significant traditional knowledge of plant species used as food, medicine, and for cultural purposes. So far, many workers have reported traditional uses of plant species from different regions of Asia including some mountain areas; however, there is not one inclusive document on the ethnobotany of mountains in Asia. This book provides a comprehensive overview on ethno-ecological knowledge and cross cultural variation in the application of plant species among various communities residing in the mountains of Asia; cross cultural variation in traditional uses of plant species by the mountain communities; high value medicinal and food plant species; and threats and conservation status of plant species and traditional knowledge. This book should be useful to researchers of biodiversity and conservation, ethnobiologists, ethnoecologists, naturalists, phytochemists, pharmacists, policy makers, and all who have a devotion to nature.
