Summary, etc. This book presents a provocative comparative history of environmentalism in two large, ecologically and culturally diverse democracies, India and the United States.<br/><br/>The book takes as its point of departure the dominant environmental philoso phies in the two countries, here identified as 'agrarianism' in India and 'wilder ness thinking' in the USA. It then proposes an integrative, inclusive theoretical framework that goes beyond these partisan and partial ideologies. Named 'social ecology, this framework is here applied in the analysis of environmental thought, and in understanding the trajectory of controversies over large dams, state forests, and wildlife reserves.<br/><br/>Profiles of three exemplary social ecologists-Lewis Mumford, Chandi Prasad Bhatt, and Madhav Gadgil-follow. The concluding chapter poses what Guha regards as the fundamental environmental question-how much should a person or country consume?-and explores various answers to it.<br/><br/>Based on research done over two decades, and written with the author's characteristic verve and flair, this book ranges widely over a vast intellectual terrain. It brims with ideas and information on environmental histories, environ mental philosophies, environmental scholars, and environmental activists. Guha offers trenchant critiques of privileged and isolationist proponents of conserva tion, persuasively arguing the case for biospheres that care as much for humans as for the other species with which they share the earth.
