Whenever we discuss issues on environment, science etc. we do it in a particular historical context. The present volume comprising fourteen articles covers aspects of the history of science and environment as reflected within different social systems.
It includes articles on Kashimbazar, Podu cultivation in tribal Odisha and the Lodha tribe. It seeks to establish the link between the Moist movement in Odisha with social changes as also rise of fascism and the creation of the atom bomb and the communities of Indonesia. The last piece is on environmental protection in early Soviet Russia. This book is likely to be of interest to researchers, social scientists, historians and general readers.
