This is the story of Namita and her teacher, of Alladiya Khan who was unable to pass all of his knowledge to his sons, and of the foul mouthed capricious and bewitched Kesarbai. At its heart is Dhondutai, half tragic, half victorious; shy, diffident yet full of determination. Full of anecdotes, gossip and legend this is a stunning book.

The author captures the excitement of the hunt for our own genetic history. Through lively anecdotes he explores how researchers detect natural selection acting on genes and makes clear what this information tells us about human origins.

The mainstream development policy as advocated by the Washington Consensus which dominates development economics has been subjected to criticism across the globe. This handbook showcases new research by young scholars from several developing countries and offers new perspectives on change.

This work takes readers on Dinerstein’s unlikely journey to conservation’s frontiers: from research on snow leopards in Kashmir to the Galapagos islands, to recent expeditions as Chief Scientist at the World Wildlife Fund. His experiences urge us not just to marvel of what we see, but to join in efforts to sustain the Earth’s exquisite design.
