Perspectives of the Silent Majority
Air Pollution, Livelihood and Food Secuity - Indepth Studies Through PRA Methods on Community Perspectives in Urban and Peri-urban Areas of Varanasi and Faridabad, India

This title was first published in 2001. This text is an exercise in learning from the voices of the communities living in Indian villages near urban areas. It is concerned, primarily, with learning what these communities have to say on their well-being and livelihoods and is, therefore, an attempt to record and register as much as possible of what these communities say. Agriculture in urban areas of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh plays an important role for livelihoods and in supplying foodstuffs to communities and markets. It constitutes a major source of income both for landowners and labourers. The study then looks at the relationship between agriculture and urban areas, and the phenomenon of industrialization/urbanization. In presenting these perspectives, the farmers gave insights into some related issues such as the role of agriculture in their livelihoods, the nature of agricultural constraints and the the impact of air pollution on quality of life.

Hunger is an issue which has been subject to much rigorous intellectual examination by economists, philosophers, sociologists, NGOs and governments. This volume provides a critical overview of current academic and political perspectives and then compares these views from thenon-hungry people with those of thehungry particularly from a broad range of poor communities in India. Their views are gathered using participatory rural appraisal techniques and the scale of the material presented is unprecedented. Not surprisingly, the comparisons show that the perceptions of the hungry are fundamentally different from those of the non-hungry. It makes compelling suggestions about how best policy makers can attempt to eliminate hunger based on what the hungry themselves suggest. The book also draws attention to the critical role of Common Property Resources and women in the fight against under-nutrition, which have so far been largely ignored.

A comprehensive guide to tomorrow's world of ubiquitous computing where users can access and manipulate information from everywhere at all times. The emphasis is on networking, systems and standards rather than detailed physical implementation. Addressed are many technical obstacles, such as, connectivity, levels of service, performance, and reliability and fairness. The authors also describe the existing enabling off-the-shelf technologies and its underlying infrastructure known as pervasive networking (PervNet). PervNet ties different sets of smart nodes together enabling them to communicate with each other to provide pervasive computing services to users. Throughout the book, important issues related to scalability, transparency, security, energy management, QoS provisioning, fault tolerance and disconnected operations are discussed. This work provides a research and development perspective to the field of PervNet and should serve as a reference for network designers, operators and developers.

The Cartesian view of man being the controller of nature has generated an economic system, whether capitalist or Marxist, which exploits nature to produce more and more goods and services to meet the material needs of society. The pursuit to this style of development has led to certain negative impacts which are now posing threat to the survival and development of humanity. Thirty Seven Experts from all over India and the U.K. analysed the problems of accelerating economic development without impairing environment, from regional and local perspectives and debated these issues in April, 1994 at the LBSNAA, Mussoorie in April 1993, and explored the possibilities that lie ahead of us. This book is an outcome of that deliberation. It contains authoritative papers by acknowledged experts in their respective fields, on Changing Perception of Development; Environmental Issues of Energy, Water and Land Pollution; Analysis of Natural Resources Management Systems, River Basin or Valley and Environment; Tourism, Human Settlements and Environment; Culture and Environment; Sustainable Development; Environmental Policies and Environmental Ethics. This book would be an invaluable and up-to-date applied reference book for scholars and students of environment and development, who seek to approach at the problems from regional and local perspectives.

Municipal finance deals with only three of the basic problems of public finance, namely allocation, development and redistribution (the fourth being stabilisation). The present book makes a humble attempt to examine the extent to which these problems have been solved by the finances of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. It analyses the finances of the corporation with emphasis on financial administration, for a period of twenty-one years and compares them with those of the Municipal Corporations of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras. A special feature of the book is the minute examination of a large number of cases reported by the Municipal Chief Auditor in his annual reports. The book should be very useful for councillors and officials of municipal corporations as it contains valuable suggestions and guidelines. It may be painful reading for the common citizen as it tells a woeful tale of the frittering away of its scarce resources by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

This book views land reforms from a historical perspective It argues that the success or failure of land reforms can only be judged by the role the reforms play in the historical development of the agrarian structure. As such a legislation which sounds radical when viewed in isolation can, in the context of a given agrarian structure, merely play the role of strengthening the hands of the already dominant classes. Based on the Karnataka experience, the book points out that the successful implementation of land legislation in the seventies was possible because it not only did not hurt the interests of the dominant classes in general, but, in most of Karnataka, benefitted them in substantial measure. Since the legislation was termed radical it was supported by the left forces in the State and thus effectively played the role of pre-empting fundamental change.

The book is a rare combination of the analyses of the different theories of hunger and analyses of the state of hunger in India by those who suffer from hunger. The volume brings out compellingly the need to hear the voices of the people. Entitlement and Deprivation thesis of Sen, to the feminists theory explaining hunger have all been critically analysed. And then voices of people (women and men) from villages of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Orissa have been culled out to show the many dimensions of hunger. The book is unique in comparing and contrasting views of experts with the views of those who are effected most. This book is the South Asian Edition. International Edition was published by Ashgate Publishing Ltd., Aidershot, U.K.

Islam, as a philosophy, a way of life and of course as a faith, has served like a lighthouse for the whole world. It has, as a force, influenced all civilizations. Be it education, social fabric or science, Islam has Left its impact in all the spheres. In fact, Islam is-basically a scientific and progressive religion. This series, unique in its presentation, is perhaps first of its kind, to take all the great events, developments and personalities in Islam, in its fold. All the significant aspects have been covered in these volumes. This multi-volume study is based on original(Holy Quran and Traditions) and other authentic sources: Arabic, Persian and Urdu books and manuscripts. for further comprehenion and comparative study, English books by Muslim scholars and as well as Western writers have also been consulted at length. The painstaking research and thorough study of thousands of pages by a team of scholars over a period of time, has resulted in an authentic, comprehensive, exhaustive, exclusive, gigantic and still interesting work, which is bound to fill a big vacuum in Islamic Studies. This voluminous work is based on authentic sources and material, available in libraries, institutes and some pnr.ate collections, as well. A r-h Bibliography; along with references is provided with each volume Lo prove the authenticity of the work and in order to guide the scholars and readers for further studies. This modest work should; rove to be of worth for those, who arc kind enough to peruse it and may desire to make use of it for their academic enrichment. Hopefully, these volumes would be able to satisfy the urge of all those who desire to know about real Islam and also to create a new awareness, regarding this religion, as a radical discipline, based on reason and opposed to fundamentalism and dogmatism. Though, a small effort yet its rational treatment and radical approach make it different from other works on the same or related subjects.

This book is a comprehensive treatise on "Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation". It brings out the critical difference between Traditional Monitoring and Evaluation using ''PLA Tools'' and Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation while focusing attention on both these two monitoring and evaluation systems. It discusses what is ''participatory monitoring and evaluation'' (PM&E), steps in PM&E and some of the tools that may be used. It demonstrates the use of PLA tools in the evaluation of an integrated rural development project, in impact assessment villages hits by disasters, in evaluating (in the orthodox sense) developmental organization, in evaluating a primarily agricultural development project, and in ''participatory Evaluation'' of a system of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation established for housing projects in Nepal and Sri Lanka. The book then is a combination of conceptual specification of PM&E, four case Studies from India of evaluation of different kinds of development project) where participatory tools have been used for traditional evaluation and two case studies on participatory evaluation from Nepal and Sri Lanka. The book will be of immense use in understanding Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation on the one part vis-a-vis Monitoring and Evaluation using PLA tools on the other part. Readers will get a glimpse of how the two systems of evaluation can be carried out in different kinds of projects and environments. It will be of great value to development workers, development organizations, international donors, government departments engaged in M&E and serious students of development economics.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has been extensively used in various traditional fields like land-use, environment science and natural resources management. Due to tremendous potential of GIS in handling geographic component of any information, its use is being explored in other non-traditional fields like business, banking, health and other utility services. Library, where information itself is its blood, associated with geographic component, cannot remain isolated from using GIS.
