India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh contain one-fifth of humanity, are
home to many biodiversity hotspots, and are among the nations most
subject to climatic stresses. By surveying their environmental
history, we can gain major insights into the causes and
implications of the Indian subcontinent's current conditions. This
accessible new survey begins roughly 100 million years ago, when
continental drift moved India from the South Pole and across the
Indian Ocean, forming the Himalayan Mountains and creating
monsoons. Coverage continues to the twenty-first century, taking
readers beyond independence from colonial rule. The new nations of
India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have produced rising populations
and have stretched natural resources, even as they have become
increasingly engaged with climate change. To understand the
region's current and future pressing issues, Michael H. Fisher
argues that we must engage with the long and complex history of
interactions among its people, land, climate, flora, and fauna.
