Paperback. Condición: New. This book was undertaken at a pivotal time in the region. The weak summer monsoon in 2009 created drought conditions throughout Pakistan. This followed an already tenuous situation for many rural households faced with high fuel and fertilizer costs and the impacts of rising global food prices. Then catastrophic monsoon flooding in 2010 affected over 20 million people, devastating their housing, infrastructure, and crops. Damages from this single flood event were estimated at US$10 billion, half of which were losses in the agriculture sector. Notwithstanding the debate as to whether these observed extremes are evidence of climate change, an investigation is needed regarding the extent to which the country is resilient to these shocks. It is thus timely, if not critical, to focus on climate risks for water, agriculture, and food security in the Indus Basin in Pakistan. This study uses several different modelling environments including hydrologic models, an agro-economic optimisation model of the irrigation system, and a computable general equilibrium model of the Pakistan economy. The models used here are among the best mathematical representations available of the physical and economic responses to these exogenous future climate risks. The integrated systems framework used in this analysis provides a broad and unique approach to estimating the hydrologic and crop impacts of climate change risks, the macro-economic and household-level responses and an effective method for assessing a variety of adaptation investments and policies. A better understanding of how these sectors are linked will help plan future investments in these sectors. Further collection and analysis of critical input and output observations (e.g. snow and ice data) as well as practical measures for improving productivity under a changing climate will enhance this integrated framework methodology and future climate impact assessments. Continued refinements to the assessment approach developed in this volume will further help to sharpen critical policies and interventions by the Pakistan government.…

The Fall 1989 issue of Asian Art (Vol. II, No. 4), the quarterly journal published by the Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian. This issue is devoted almost entirely to Raghubir Singh, with: an essay and a 26-page portfolio of work by Singh; an essay about the photographer by Max Kozloff who also conducted a separate interview with Singh; the only non-Singh related article is by James Wescoat about life in a Mughal garden. SIGNED BY KOZLOFF on the table of contents page; no inscription. Perfect-bound, stiff wraps; 79 pages; color plates throughout + maps; 8.5 x 11 inches.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine fresh copy in like jacket. The volume is a major contribution to our understanding of Mughal gardens. The authors demonstrate that, though gardens are protean in meaning and subject to change in form, they are extraordinarily revealing of the Mughal ethos. (MESA Bulletin) -- These essays form a superb guide to the Mughal garden, its form, history and meaning. The depth of each author's expertise permeates every page, yet even the general reader will have no difficulty grasping the lucidly presented discussion of Mughal gardens. Any scholar of gardens or the Mughals must read this book. (Bulletin of the School of Oriental And African Studies).…

Condición: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "Places of Power" contributes to the Landscape Architecture Foundation's Landscape Futures Initiative, which explores driving forces of landscape change that societies and designers will face in the 21st century. Politics and economics exert profoundly important, and dynamic, influences on land use, landcover, and landscape experience. Likewise, landscapes shape political economies from the site to global scales. This book examines the complex relationships between political economy and landscape change. It encompasses perspectives ranging from radical landscape interpretation to sustainable livelihoods, real estate economics, institutions, international landscape policies, and global finance. It asks what difference "design", can make within the broader structural contexts of landscape change.The perspectives in this book share a common concern for what economist and futurist Kenneth Boulding termed "integrative power" - the power of human solidarity, respect, and love - to direct political and economic change toward paths of sustainable landscape design. They speak to landscape architects, planners, urbanists, geographers, and social scientists about some of the most pressing issues of our times. …
