Book Description
This original and wide-ranging work examines historical perceptions of nature in China and the relationship between insider and outsider, state and village, top-down conservation policy and community autonomy. After an introduction to the history of wildlife conservation and nature reserve management in China, the book places recent tiger conservation efforts in the context of a two-thousand-year gazetteer of tiger attacks--the longest running documentation of human-wildlife encounters for any region in the world. This record offers a unique perspective on the history of the tiger as a dynamic force in the political culture of China. While the tiger has long been identified with political authority, the Chinese pangolin and its earthly magic have exerted a powerful influence in the everyday lives of those working and living in the fields and forests. Today the tiger and the pangolin, government officials and village communities, must work together closely if wildlife habitat conservation programs are to succeed. Extensive fieldwork in the Meihuashan Nature Reserve and other protected areas of western Fujian have led the author to advocate a landscape ecological approach to habitat conservation. By linking economic development to land use practices, he makes a strong case for integrating nature conservation efforts with land tenure and other socio-ecological issues in China and beyond.

Book Description
The book explores how the political, economic, social policies of the government from the time of independence from the British government in 1980 have led to economic collapse. It highlights how corruption has resulted in the gap between the rich and the poor widening while, at the same time, there was a lot of disruption in the lives of ordinary people which saw them moving to different countries because of the dismal conditions that were a result of the corruption. It also touches on the issue of human trafficking and disregard of proper environmental practices that have led to ecological disasters and encouraged the outbreak of diseases such as cholera in certain areas.

Book Description
This work is an annotated edition of a ritual manuscript, written in the traditional Zhuang character script. The Hanvueng epic is a narrative in verse about murderous enmity between two royal step-brothers, recited when there is fraternal feuding, death by violence, outbreaks of smallpox, or other such disasters. The theme of enmity is an important one that resonates deeply in the Tai societies on the periphery of the Chinese empire. The narrative touches on many other aspects of life in the valley-kingdoms in the highlands of Guangxi: marriage and inheritance, match-making, slavery and social stratification, agriculture, hunting, fishing, raiding, livestock raising dye-making, wild animals and plants, and the use of ritual to put things to rights.

Book Description
In view of the resilience of Africa’s underdevelopment, what do Africans make of their determined aspirations for development? The continent of Africa has constantly drawn global attention, most especially for both human and natural evils. Underdevelopment, it appears, is one of the most eminent threatening evils. It has plunged and promises to maintain the majority of Africa in abject poverty, insecurity, and vulnerability. What perpetuates the ghost and gory of underdevelopment in Africa, despite a proliferation of development rhetoric and initiatives? How do ordinary Africans react to repeated talk and claims of development with little evidence of transformation for the better in their material circumstances? This book interrogates the tenacity of underdevelopment amid calls for Africa to rise from its slumber and reclaim its position in global affairs as the mother continent of humankind. It contributes to the ongoing debates on why Africa remains trapped in the clutch of underdevelopment many decades after the purported end of colonialism. The book comes at a critical time in human history; a time when the talk on Africa’s [under-]development is louder due to the ravages of economic downturns and dysfunctional conflicts. It poses a challenge to development practitioners, civil society activists, statesmen, economists, political scientists and theorists to rethink and reconsider their role as technocrats, experts and ambassadors of positive change in Africa and the world beyond.

Book Description
Shanti embarks on a voyage of self-discovery on a Francophone university campus in Paris. Shanti's non-European friends think of her as different from the 'others', a terms reserved for Europeans by the foreign students, most of whom are paranoid about race distinctions. Marie Elena, a sociologist with prophetic judgements about people, and south American Carlos and Aline are Shanti's friends but her close reltaionship with the strange Dominique, the only person to whom she confesses her love for the cold and married Etienne, is the catalyst of her story. A shocking event causes Shanti to re-evaluate her years at the university and to discover that while she had felt superior, judging others and their trivial lives objectively, it was her own life that was impoverished and her understanding superficial. This finely written novel brings alive life in a foreign university as seen through the eyes of an Indian student where frindship, love and guilt are explored through the vividly etched and complex characters that inhabit Shanti's world.
