This book focuses on the gendered experiences of environmental
change across different geographies and social contexts in South
Asia and on diverse strategies of adapting to climate variability.
The book analyzes how changes in rainfall patterns, floods,
droughts, heatwaves and landslides affect those who are directly
dependent on the agrarian economy. It examines the socio-economic
pressures, including the increase in women’s work burdens both in
production and reproduction on gender relations. It also examines
coping mechanisms such as male migration and the formation of
women’s collectives which create space for agency and change in
rigid social relations. The volume looks at perspectives from
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal to present the nuances of
gender relations across borders along with similarities and
differences across geographical,socio-cultural and policy contexts.
This book will be of interest to researchers and students of
sociology, development, gender, economics, environmental studies
and South Asian studies. It will also be useful for policymakers,
NGOs and think tanks working in the areas of gender, climate change
and development.
Women in the State of Odisha have played an important role in
development, however they remain mostly invisible in policy and
research. This anthology undertakes a journey from the States' rich
historical tradition to its present stage of development to locate
women's spaces in this process. This book helps in refocusing
attention on economic, political and social dimensions of women and
development. Through discussing areas of health, education,
employment, migration and political role of women in
decision-making institutions, the authors suggest that only when
women or any oppressed groups gained substantially on these fronts,
would it have greater dignity and power in society. The absence of
analytical work on women's role in the development of the State in
being increasingly felt. This volume, we hope, will fill to some
extent, the intellectual gap in feminist literature. This book is
co-published with Aakar Books, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does
not sell or distribute the print versions of this book in India,
Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

AIDS, or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is a highly lethal,
progressively epidemic viral infection that destroys the immune
system, increasing the individual's susceptibility to infectious
disease and cancer. Proper and essential oral health care is
necessary for people living with HIV/AIDS because they can suffer
numerous unique oral conditions associated with this disease. It is
our responsibility as a professionals to provide people living with
HIV/AIDS the essential services they need. The entire dental team
must share this perception as we all play a key role in health
promotion and good oral health. The authors believes that the book
will serve the much expected purpose of inspiring students,
teachers, clinicians, and others interested in the management of
HIV/AIDS in periodontal practice.
