Of all the Diaspora communities, the Jews of India are among the least known and most interesting. This readable study, full of vivid details of everyday life, looks in depth at the religious life of the Jewish community in Cochin, the Bene Israel from the remote Konkan coast near Bombay, and the Baghdadi Jews, who migrated to Indian port cities and flourished under the British Raj. Who Are the Jews of India? is the first integrated, comprehensive work available on all three of India's Jewish communities. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Nathan Katz brings together methods and insights from religious studies, ritual studies, anthropology, history, linguistics, and folklore, as he discusses the strategies each community developed to maintain its Jewish identity. Based on extensive fieldwork throughout India, as well as close reading of historical documents, this study provides a striking new understanding of the Jewish Diaspora and of Hindu civilization as a whole.

To date, a vast amount of the world’s oceans remains uncharted. With water covering more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, maritime and oceanographic exploration and research is vital. Oceanography and Coastal Informatics: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice is a critical source of academic knowledge centered on technologies, methodologies, and practices related to the biological and physical aspects of the ocean and coastal environments. This publication is divided into four sections: climate change and environmental concerns; data analysis and management; fisheries management and ecology; and GIS, geospatial analysis, and localization. This publication is an ideal reference source for oceanographers, marine and maritime professionals, researchers, and scholars interested in current research on various aspects of oceanography and coastal informatics.

This invaluable collection of information provides an in-depth guide to the regional dimension of the politics and economy of this vast and complex country. Incomparable in its coverage, which includes a detailed chronology for India as a whole, a bibliography, contact details for leading officials, and an historical account and economic survey for each of the twenty-nine states and seven territories, it supplies the reader with a more complete understanding of India as a whole.

Today western nations consume annually only a small percentage of their resources from the sea, despite the proclamation of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) by many. In contrast, most Pacific Basin Countries obtain more than a quarter of their annual needs from the ocean. Determination of greater rewards from the development of marine resources is markedly inhibited by the limited technical abilities available to locate and assess them. Knowledge of Exclusive Economic Zone resources is schematic and generalised, and a detailed understanding of the geology and processes relating to the economic use of the seafloor is both fragmentary and very basic. Technology for mapping the mineral resources of continental shelves and ocean areas, except in active offshore hydrocarbon provinces, has been largely developed in pursuit of scientific objectives and competence to rapidly appraise economic potential is limited. Similarly, the capability to characterise and evaluate the other resources of the seas is rudimentary. The development of ocean resources will become increasingly urgent as the growth of the world population and the depletion of land reserves combine to enhance demand. Also, increasing environmental constraints will limit the availability of traditional land-based resources; nevertheless, new offshore development must proceed in a manner whereby the marine environment is not plundered but protected and conserved. The challenge to develop ocean resources with responsible environmental stewardship will require greater leadership than the development of the technologies of exploitation.

Coastal Geomorphology: Processes, Landforms, and Human Interactions by Dr. Aran Castro A J is an in-depth exploration of the dynamic processes that shape our planet's coastlines. This comprehensive guide delves into the physical processes, such as wave action, tides, and sediment transport, that create and transform coastal landforms, including beaches, dunes, estuaries, and coral reefs. In a time when coastal regions are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including sea-level rise and intensifying storms, understanding coastal geomorphology is more crucial than ever. Dr. Castro's book not only covers the natural processes at play but also examines the significant influence of human activities on coastal environments. From coastal development and erosion to hazard management and conservation, this book offers practical insights into the challenges and opportunities for sustainable coastal management. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of geology, geography, environmental science, and coastal management, Coastal Geomorphology: Processes, Landforms, and Human Interactions is both a foundational text and a forward-looking resource. It bridges the gap between scientific research and real-world application, providing readers with the tools they need to understand and manage the complex interplay between natural processes and human impacts on coastal systems. With case studies from around the world, including detailed examples from India, this book is a valuable reference for anyone interested in the future of our coastlines. Whether you're an academic, a practitioner, or simply someone fascinated by the natural world, Dr. Castro's work offers a compelling look at the forces shaping our coasts and the ways we can work to protect them.
