Conservation, Preservation and Recognition. 5. Way Forward. 6. Action Plan. 7. References. Traditional medicine remains central to the lives of many tribal communities in India, particularly where access to modern healthcare is limited by geography, cost and availability. Despite the expansion of biomedical services, indigenous healing practice continue to be widely used, often by the informed choice of patients themselves. However, much of this rich herbal and healing knowledge remains insufficiently documented and is at risk of erosion. Monograph Whispers of the Forests: Non-Codified Healing in Arunachal Pradesh documents traditional healing practices in Arunachal Pradesh, drawing on qualitative fieldwork with 23 herbal healers and key informants from Aalo, Pasighat and Itanagar. The study highlights not only the diversity of medicinal plants and healing methods but also the deep interconnections between local culture, biodiversity and community life. Field experiences revealed notable aspects of social life in the region, including women's safety, warm hospitality and strong community bonds which contextualize the practice of healing.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. Contents: Foreword. Acknowledgement. List of Figures and Tables. Poem for the Conservation of Traditional Medicine, Ayurveda. 1. Introduction. 2. Sikkim state culture and folklore. 3. Healers narratives. 4. On recognition and support. 5. Conclusions. 6. References. 7. Appendix. Indigenous societies across India sustain a diverse cadre of community-recognized healers, including shamans, magico-religious and faith healers, herbalists, bone setters, midwives, massagers and specialists for ailments such as snakebite, jaundice and poisoning. Although largely outside formal education and regulation, these practitioners meet substantial healthcare needs, particularly in rural and tribal areas. Indigenous healing systems are typically non-codified, informal, orally transmitted, non-commercial and embedded in local cosmologies and everyday life. Despite their continuing relevance, these systems face marginalization as state-supported, professionalized biomedical and codified traditional systems, especially with the expansion of AYUSH. The monograph on Sikkim, Roots of Wisdom: Unwritten Herbal Traditions of Sikkim, is a part of larger collaborative project between Anthropos India Foundation and IGNCA. It highlights the extensive use of flora, fauna and mineral resources for health, alongside shamanic, herbal, and massage-based therapies. …

Soft cover. Condition: New. Contents: Foreword. Acknowledgement. List of Abbreviations. List of Figures. 1. Introduction. 2. Manipur: People and Culture. 3. Maiba Maibi. 4. Healers Narratives. 5. Conservation, Preservation and Challenges in Recognition. 6. Challenges and Concerns. 7. Recommendations and Way Forward. 8. Press Releases. The monograph Green Wisdom: The Herbal Healing Traditions of Manipur examines non-codified herbal healing practices in Manipur, situating them within the broader landscape of traditional, folk and indigenous medical systems in India. Non-codified herbal healing, rooted in oral transmission and hands-on practice, represents a significant yet understudied domain of healthcare knowledge. The study acknowledges both natural folk medicine and magico-religious healing traditions, emphasizing their ethical, non-commercial orientation and deep connections with spirituality and community life. These systems, which predate codified medical traditions, reflect India's long-standing and sophisticated engagement with nature based healing. Addressing community healthcare needs in Manipur, this monograph interrogates the social roles of herbal healers, the reverence they command, the challenges they face in contemporary contexts, and the processes through which indigenous knowledge is preserved and threatened. Key concerns include environmental degradation, declining biodiversity, erosion of intergenerational knowledge transfer, lack of formal recognition, intellectual property rights, and possibilities for mainstreaming into healthcare systems.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This book features four peer-reviewed reviews on land use change and management.The first chapter discusses the role of agricultural expansion, land cover and use change in contributing to climate change. It reviews the impacts of land-use change on climate, specifically focusing on carbon emission, surface energy fluxes and the emission of reactive gases from vegetation. The chapter also assesses how to estimate the impacts of land-use change on climate.The second chapter provides an overview of human-induced land use changes, such as deforestation and intensive agriculture and their consequent impact on the agricultural ecosystem. The chapter focusses specifically on the ways in which land use alteration has impacted the composition and functionality of soil microbiomes within a Brazilian context.The third chapter considers the range of publicly funded agri-environment schemes created by the UK government to mitigate the effects of climate change and reverse biodiversity decline. The chapter explores how these schemes have evolved alongside the principles of sustainable land management, as well as how they are shaped by the culture of the UK nations within which they develop.The final chapter addresses the use of riparian forest buffers to link the land and aquatic environment at a landscape level. The chapter reviews the design and function of riparian forest buffers and filter strips as agroforestry practices and their role in performing vital ecological functions as part of the network of watersheds that connect forests, prairies, agricultural and urban lands.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: Vemana's Poems on Bayalu or Emptiness are the earliest ones in Telugu literature dealing with Nagarjuna's "Dependent Origination." He explained in simple poetic style of Aataveladi which no other author had dealt with. Similarly, the related method of meditation, Awareness, which Vemana called Eruka, was never explained by any author in such a simple style so far. Many non-Telugu speakers have shown interest in knowing Vemana's views on these subjects. This book fills the void and so deals with translation of original Vemana poems on these important philosophical aspects while the related Telugu poems are also listed in foot-note. In addition to the above, Vemana's well known poems on Caste discrimination, Rebuttal of Vedic Rites and Idolatry are translated into English. The popular moral aspects on rightful living are also included. The satirical way in which Vemana exposed the evils of the society will be definitely appreciated by lovers of Vemana Poetry. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Prof. G. Siva Reddy worked as a Professor of Chemistry in the erstwhile Sri Venkateswara University Post-graduate centre, Cuddapah (A.P.) during the period 1981-2007. He was also its Special Officer during the period 2005-06 and the centre was upgraded into Yogi Vemana University in 2006. He was instrumental in naming the University after Vemana. He worked as the co-ordinator of the committee constituted for drafting Statutes and Regulations for the newly established University. He published nearly 50 Publications in International journals. The areas of research include Analytical Chemistry, Electronic Spectra of Minerals and Mineral Beneficiation. 1,25,000 Booklets in Telugu and 10,000 booklets in Kannada on Vemana were printed and distributed free of cost in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. Another book in Telugu entitled, "Vemana Viswam" was published by Vemana Foundation, Anantapur. He was instrumental in establishing a Womens Hostel for collegiate students at Cuddapah.
