A DAY WITH THE SHAMA
Angebote / Angebote:
On a misty morning early half a century ago, Baskaran watched in awe as a skein of Bar-headed geese landed in Devarayan lake near Tiruchi. Their honking calls through the surrouding fog rendered the moment with a certain magic. The morning sparked the beginning of Baskara's nature writing.The articles he wrote over the years, published mostly in The Hindu, examined wildlife, ecology and conservatio, reflecting his enduring concerns with environmental issues. His writing based on personal observation has a sense of immediacy that draws readers to the lived experience of nature. The essays in this anthology range from an account of the stream-dwelling Brown dipper to a search for the lost orchid of Coutrallam.As Peter Matthiessen said, "one way to grasp the main perspectives of biodiversity is to understand the precious nature of a single living form, a single manifestation of the miracle of existence, if one has truly understood a crane- or a eaf or a cloud or a frog- one has understood everything." The articles anthologised in this volume represent a lifetime's pursuit of such an understanding.
