Bionomics in the Dragon Kingdom: Ecology, Economics and Ethics in Bhutan (Fascinating Life Sciences),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This compact and elegant work (equally fitting for both academic as well as the trade audiences) provides a readily accessible and highly readable overview of Bhutans unique opportunities and challenges; all her prominent environmental legislation, regulatory statutes, ecological customs and practices, both in historic and contemporary terms. At the same time, Bionomics places the ecological context, including a section on animal rights in Bhutan, within the nations Buddhist spiritual and ethical setting. Historic contextualization accents the books rich accounting of every national park and scientific reserve, as well as providing uptotheminute climatechange related hurdles for the country.Merging the interdisciplinary sciences, engineering and humanities data in a compelling uptodate portrait of the country, the authors have presented this dramatic compendium against the backdrop of an urgent, global ecological timeframe. It thus becomes clear that the articulated stakes for Bhutan, like her neighboring Himalayan and Indian subcontinental countries (China, India, Bangladesh and Myanmar) are immense, as the Anthropocene epoch unfolds, affecting every living being across the planet. Because Bhutans two most rewarding revenue streams derive from the sale of hydroelectric power and from tourism, the complexities of modern pressures facing a nation that prides herself on maintaining traditional customs in what has been a uniquely isolated nation are acute.
