Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

When first published in 2009 Nature’s Matrix set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. This new edition pushes the frontier of the biodiversity/agriculture debate further making an even stronger case for the need to transform agriculture and support small- and medium-scale agroecology and food sovereignty. In the first edition the authors set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. This is based on the concept of a landscape as a matrix of diverse small-scale agricultural ecosystems providing opportunities to enhance conservation under the stewardship of local farmers. This contrasts with the alternative view of industrial-scale farms and large protected areas which exclude local people. However since then the debate around conservation and agriculture has developed significantly and this is reflected in this updated second edition. The text is thoroughly revised including: a reorganization of chapters with new and timely topics introduced updates to the discussion of agroecology and food sovereignty bringing it in line with the current debates greater coverage of the role of agroecology in particular agroforestry as an important component of climate change adaptation and mitigation highlighting recent studies on the role of intensive agriculture in climate change and loss of biodiversity and more attention given to the discussion of land sparing versus land sharing. By integrating the ecological aspects of agriculture and conservation biology with a political and social analysis as well as historical perspective the book continues to set a progressive agenda and appeals to a wide range of students and professionals. | Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

A Womb of Her Own Women's Struggle for Sexual and Reproductive Autonomy

A Womb of Her Own Women's Struggle for Sexual and Reproductive Autonomy

Gender and body-based distinctions continue to be a defining component of women’s identities both in psychoanalytic treatment and in life. Although females have made progress in many areas their status within the human community has remained unstable and subject to societal whim. A Womb of Her Own brings together a distinguished group of contributors to explore from a psychoanalytic perspective the ways in which women’s sexual and reproductive capabilities and their bodies are regarded as societal and patriarchal property not as the possession of individual women. It further examines how women have been viewed as the other and thus become the focus of mistreatment such as rape sexual slavery restriction of reproduction rights and ongoing societal repression. Postmodern gender theories have greatly enhanced understanding of the fluidity of gender and freed women from repressive stereotypes but attention has shifted prematurely from the power differential that continues to exist between men and women. Before the male/female binary is transcended the limitations imposed upon women by the still prevailing patriarchal order must be addressed. To this end A Womb of Her Own addresses issues such as the prevalence of rape culture and its historical roots; the relationship of the LGBT movement to feminism; current sexual practices such as sexting and tattooing and their meaning to women; reproductive issues including infertility; adoption; postpartum depression and the actual experience of birthing—all from the perspectives of women. The book also explores the cultural definitions of motherhood and how such definitions set exacting standards both for the acceptable face of motherhood and for women generally. While women’s unique anatomy and biology have historically contributed to their oppression in a patriarchal society it is the exploration and illumination of these capabilities from their own perspective that will allow women to claim and control them as their own. Covering a broad topical range of contemporary subjects A Womb of Her Own will appeal to psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as scholars and students of gender and women’s studies. | A Womb of Her Own Women's Struggle for Sexual and Reproductive Autonomy

Studies in Indo-Muslim History by S.H. Hodivala Volume I A Critical Commentary on Elliot and Dowson’s History of India as Told by Its Own Hi

Studies in Indo-Muslim History by S.H. Hodivala Volume I A Critical Commentary on Elliot and Dowson’s History of India as Told by Its Own Hi

In the field of medieval Indian historiography an eight-volume magnum opus History of India as Told by Its Own Historians by Sir Henry Myers Elliot (1808-53) and the editor-compiler of his posthumous papers John Dowson (1820-81) was published from London between 1867 and 1877. These landmark volumes continue to retain their popularity even nearly hundred and fifty years later and scholars still learn from and conduct their research on the basis of this work. However an enterprise of this scale and magnitude was bound to suffer from some serious shortcomings. An eminent Indian scholar S. H. Hodivala undertook the daunting task of annotating Elliot and Dowson’s volumes and worked through all the new material selecting or criticizing and adding his own suggestions where previous comments did not exist or appeared unsuitable. The first volume of Hodivala’s annotated Studies was published in 1939 while the second was published posthumously in 1957. Over the years while the work of Elliot and Dowson has seen many reprints and is even available online now Hodivala’s volumes have receded into obscurity. A new edition is presented here for the first time. Hodivala also published critical commentaries on 238 of about 2000 entries included in another very famous work Hobson-Jobson (London 1886) by Sir Henry Yule (1820-89) and Arthur Coke Burnell (1840-82). These have also been included in the present edition. These volumes are thus aimed at serving as an indispensable compendium of both Elliot and Dowson’s and for Yule and Burnell’s excellent contributions of colonial scholarship. At the same time these would also serve as a guide for comparative studies and critical appreciation of historical texts.
