Prabhata Sam'giita - Songs of Neohumanism
The present songbook is an anthology of the songs (in the order of composition) of Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar known as Prabha'ta Sam'giita. In February 1982, Shrii Sarkar gave to the world the gift of Neohumanism. Neohumanism is in fact a renaissance of the 7500 year old Principle of Social Equality (Sama Samaja Tattva) propounded by Lord Shiva. Neohumanism expands the scope of humanist concern to include the plant, animal and earth realms. Neohumanism focuses its efforts on controlling the baneful consequences of narrow sentiments such as geo (geographical) sentiment, socio (religious/ethnic) sentiment and humanist sentiment. It is the intensity of devotion (bhakti) or mystical love (Ishq-e-haqiqi) that gives the Neohumanist the capacity to rise above these sentiments, the ability to enlighten others about them, and the capacity to fight these sentiments. Neohumanism liberates people from their limitations and doubts and fills them with courage, determination and limitless love.
Negotiated Learning
The first book to critically examine how monitoring can be an effective tool in participatory resource management, Negotiated Learning draws on the first-hand experiences of researchers and development professionals in eleven countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. Collective monitoring shifts the emphasis of development and conservation professionals from externally defined programs to a locally relevant process. It focuses on community participation in the selection of the indicators to be monitored as well as community participation in the learning and application of knowledge from the data that is collected. As with other aspects of collaborative management, collaborative monitorin...
The Analytic Hierarchy Process in Natural Resource and Environmental Decision Making
Decision making in land management involves preferential selection among competing alternatives. Often, such choices are difficult owing to the complexity of the decision context. Because the analytic hierarchy process (AHP, developed by Thomas Saaty in the 1970s) has been successfully applied to many complex planning, resource allocation, and priority setting problems in business, energy, health, marketing, natural resources, and transportation, more applications of the AHP in natural resources and environmental sciences are appearing regularly. This realization has prompted the authors to collect some of the important works in this area and present them as a single volume for managers and scholars. Because land management contains a somewhat unique set of features not found in other AHP application areas, such as site-specific decisions, group participation and collaboration, and incomplete scientific knowledge, this text fills a void in the literature on management science and decision analysis for forest resources.
Forest Quality
Deforestation is frequently a topic of discussion in the environmental arena, but it is not just the number of trees that matters; the quality of the forest is also important. Even where the forest area is stable or increasing, there are often rapid changes in its character. Natural forests are being replaced by plantations or by intensively managed forests. Around the world, forests are becoming younger and less diverse, in both species and structure; this has important impacts for biodiversity and also affects many human values. In this groundbreaking text, forest quality is discussed as a useful new concept in forest conservation and management. Three main assessment criteria are used: au...
Systems Analysis in Forest Resources
The 2003 symposium of systems analysis in forest resources brought together researchers and practitioners who apply methods of optimization, simulation, management science, and systems analysis to forestry problems. This was the 10th symposium in the series, with previous conferences held in 1975, 1985, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1997, 2000, and 2002. The forty-two papers in these proceedings are organized into five application areas: (1) sustainability, criteria and indicators, and assessment; (2) techniques and decision support for forest planning; (3) forest assessment and planning case studies; (4) fire suppression, fire planning, and fuels management; (5) harvest scheduling; and (6) mill supply and forest product markets.
The Equitable Forest
While there continues to be refinement in defining and assessing sustainable management, there remains the urgent need for policies that create the conditions that support sustainability and can halt or slow destructive practices already underway. Carol Colfer and her contributors maintain that standardized solutions to forest problems from afar have failed to address both human and environmental needs. Such approaches, they argue, often neglect the knowledge that local stakeholders have accumulated over generations as forest managers and do not address issues involving the diversity and well-being of groups within communities. The contributors note that these problems persist despite clear ...
