CLIMATE CHANGE – Issues and Perspectives for Bangladesh
Original price was: 500.00৳ .375.00৳ Current price is: 375.00৳ .
Human induced climate change has become an issue of considerable importance and a matter of hot debate since the early 1980s. in Bangladesh as well as globally First and foremost, there is the knowledge issue. How much do we know about the green house gases, green house effects, global warming and climate change? How familiar are we with the climatic processes involved in the green house effects, global warming climate change? Did IPCC work with scientific objectivity and transparency in dealing with aspects of climate science? What are the projected impacts of climate change in Bangladesh? Would the sea level actually rise and engulf part of Bangladesh due to human induced global warming? Would tropical cyclone making landfall in Bangladesh actually increase in frequency and intensity? Would drought incidence increase in North Bengal? What does the evidence say? What other problems Bangladesh face besides climate change? As the Kyoto protocol makes a sad demise, and the IPCC finds it difficult to come out of the climategate, are we not even more required to rely on our own resilience, a quality for which we are justly proud of? This book is a collection of articles arranged in chapters from different authors to provide some answers to all the questions posed above. The answers are neither exhaustive, nor comprehensive. But it is hoped that the general readers might find a direction for finding the answers they might be looking for.

Climate Change: Issues and Perspectives for South Asia
Original price was: 2,500.00৳ .1,875.00৳ Current price is: 1,875.00৳ .
This book is designed for teachers, researchers, environmental professionals, tertiary level students and informed general readers of South Asia looking for a supplementary reading on what is happening to the Climate of this Monsoon region. Coming as a sequel to the earlier two books published in 2011 and 2015 respectively on Climate Change and Climate Variability Issues, both in Bangladesh context, this book looks at the climate change issues at South Asian scale. South Asia enjoys the same Monsoon climate, and climate change would affect us all, without respect to national political boundaries. With 19 articles collected from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, arranged in four sections, address three issues. First, the knowledge issue, dealt with in section one. How familiar are we with the science of climate change? What are the developments in the UN Climate Change Conferences? Did IPCC work with scientific objectivity and transparency in dealing with the aspects of climate science? Second is the impact issue based on field evidence related to projected climate change impacts. Impact issues are covered in sections two and three. The third is the policy issues, placed in the last section. We looked at national policies and planning related to climate-change-adaptation and mainstreaming with the national development programs. How did the South Asian nations policy responses evolved through various protocols and agreements signed over the last decades regarding the Green House Gas emission, Climate Change adaptation and mitigation? The political ecology of the climate issues linked with the intertwined problems of poverty, sustainable development, environment and vulnerability challenge all the South Asian nations. While most of the development problems are definable and measureable making them amenable to planned solution, how far the climate change problems are amenable to planned solution without affecting the scheduled development requirements?

CLIMATE VARIABILITY-Issues and Perspectives for Bangladesh
Original price was: 900.00৳ .675.00৳ Current price is: 675.00৳ .
This book is for those who have interest in and concern about what is happening to the climate of Bangladesh. They would like to find out whether Bangladesh is going through climate change or climate variability, whether such phenomena is unprecedented, and whether such phenomena is likely to continue into an unknown future. Does any extreme weather event mean either climate change or climate variability? What exactly do the terms weather, climate, climate change, climate variability, and climate system mean when national and international professionals talk about them and warn that Bangladesh is a victim of Climate Change? What can we do to prevent our weather and climate getting worse or help them getting better? What is IPCC, and why was it formed, for what purposes, with what mandate? What is ClimateGate that we hear about? What is Kyoto Protocol? What issues are important from Bangladesh perspectives? This book, as a sequel to our earlier book titled Climate Change: Issues and Perspectives for Bangladesh (published 2011), tries to provide answers to some of these and other pertinent questions in as simple terms as possible, and gives a Bangladesh perspective to the global scenario. The articles selected were written by professionals who have contributed to the appreciable volume of scientific literature that has grown over the last 30 years or soon the relevant fields here in Bangladesh. The overall findings are unmistakably clear: both the weather and the climate of Bangladesh is variable. The climate is marked by seasonality and extreme events. The causes are mostly natural. It would take long term careful research with scientific objectivity based on our national data to determine the nature and causes of changes, if any, in our climate here in Bangladesh. Climate related measures, such as adaptation, mitigation and risk reduction plans, programs and activities would be better tuned if the attention is on the challenges of the extreme climatic events. Meanwhile, the pace of economic development, based on agriculture, fisheries and livestock, as well as on industry, trade and transport, must go ahead impeded, keeping the considerations of environmental sustainability in one planning and budgeting. Our continued focus on the present certain problems and issues and more research effort on issues of climate in an uncertain future would be better productive to the development planning of Bangladesh.

Kabuli Wala And Other Stories Rabindranath Tagore

“Tagore was a poet even as he wrote in prose; and the nuances, metaphors, ironies and, above all, the music of his writings refuse to be translated adequately. Shawkat Hussain’s translation of a selection of Tagore’s short stories is a noteworthy venture in the field. He has brought his deep interest in Tagore together with his academic and professional skill in English to bear on his challenging undertaking. His translation offers a new opening for the non-Bengali readers to the fascinating world of Tagore. The book will be helpful even for those who have read the stories in the original. And the selection itself speaks of a taste which is well worth getting acquainted with.” Serajul Islam Chowdhury, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Dhaka “Like all great writers, Rabindranath Tagore is inexhaustible, and it is fitting that he should continue to attract and challenge translators. Professor Shawkat Hussain has lovingly translated a dozen of his best known stories into eminently readable English – with a sprinkling of words carried over unaltered from the original. Teachers, students and translators, and hopefully the common reader, will enjoy (re)encountering Tagore in English garb.” Kaiser Haq, Professor of English, ULAB

When the killing starts in Dhaka, the villagers know the army from West Pakistan will soon be in their area, but unlike the other young men, and his beloved step-sister Moni Banu, Kamal cannot join the resistance. Born with a hole for a mouth, most people, except Abbas Miah, the teacher who adopts him, his friends and Moni Banu, regard him as the village idiot. With Abbas Miah, Kamal embarks on a Noah’s ark journey, with the motley survivors of the massacre that inevitable comes, to find refuge in the distant floodplains until the war is over. Along with a bombastic old actor, the village mullah, the village cut-throat, two Hindu boatmen, a foul-mouthed old women, and a pious Islamist, who might just be a collaborator, Kamal discovers that there can be no escape from the war and the issues it raises. As our guide to the painful emergence of the new nation of Bangladesh, Kamal is forced both to observe the face of evil, the complexity of betrayal, and look within to discover whether he has the capacity for true community, whether he can follow the injunction: “If someone knocks on your door, you don’t ask who it is. You don’t even look at their face. You just do everything you can for them.

Songs of Rabindranath Tagore
Original price was: 800.00৳ .600.00৳ Current price is: 600.00৳ .
Baul is a mystico-religious cult which flourished on the soil of Bengal during the early process of Hindu-Buddhist-Islamic synergy. Its occult root may be traced back through time even to the pre-Vedic Tantric cults.
Lalon, the great exponent of Baul philosophy, belonged to the mainstream of the original Baul cult which, although a melting pot of Sufi, Tantric and Vaishnava world views, was an unique syncretism of Dehatatwa and mysticism. Lalon added a critical social dimension to the already spreading subaltern stream of consciousness. His songs inspired Rabindranath Tagore to ‘plunge into the river of beatitude.’ We are sure the readers of this book will also have the same opportunity through the able translation of Samir Dasgupta.

The Memsaheb’s Foot
Original price was: 300.00৳ .225.00৳ Current price is: 225.00৳ .
"Set in the 1990s, in Dhaka, against the backdrop of a military regime, The Memsaheb's Foot is a fascinating story about a young university professor who is also a left radical, his beautiful wife with an uncontrolled temper and many unfulfilled desires, and their nubile maid Phulbanu who blooms into a beautiful young woman herself, seemingly challenging the beauty of her Memsaheb. Seen from the perspective of Phulbanu, the subaltern narrator, this novella is a powerful critique of the gradual corruption of a youthful, idealistic leftist intellectual who slowly succumbs to the lure of big money 'consultancies.' Phulbanu, the maid, is witness to the lives of the fascinating couple as they become increasingly prosperous, and her own life as it becomes complicated by a passionate love affair that Memsaheb cannot endure. Originally written in Bangla by Kashinath Roy, this dramatic story has been lovingly translated by his friend Shawkat Hussain, both former professors of English at Dhaka University."

সভ্যতার অগ্রগতি নিয়ে আমাদের গর্বের অন্ত নেই, কিন্তু এই অর্থনৈতিক বিকাশ ক্রমাগতভাবে পরিবেশ ধ্বংস করে বিপন্ন করে তুলছে পৃথিবী, মানব-অস্তিত্বকে ঠেলে দিচ্ছে হুমকির মুখে। এমনি অমোঘ পরিণতি থেকে রক্ষা পাওয়ার জন্য পথানুসন্ধান করে ফিরছে বিশ্বসমাজ, তবে মূল সমস্যা এড়িয়ে যেসব সংস্কার ও ক্ষতিপূরণের ব্যবস্থার কথা বলা হচ্ছে তা পারছে না স্থায়ী সুফল বয়ে আনতে। জটিল অথচ অতীব গুরুতর এই সমস্যার নির্মোহ, তথ্যমূলক ও বিশ্লেষণী পর্যালোচনা করেছেন লেখক জন বেলামি ফস্টার, প্রখ্যাত মান্থলি রিভিউ পত্রিকার তিনি সম্পাদক এবং রাজনৈতিক-অর্থনৈতিক বিষয়ক একাধিক গ্রন্থের প্রণেতা। অর্থনৈতিক ইতিহাস ও বিন্যাসের নিরিখে পরিবেশ সঙ্কট বিচারে ব্রতী হয়েছেন তিনি। আধুনিক উৎপাদনব্যবস্থার উদ্ভব ও বিকাশের পটভূমিকায় পরিবেশ সঙ্কট বিচার করবার মধ্য দিয়ে পাওয়া যাবে সঙ্কটমোচনের ইশারা, মিলবে প্রচলিত ভাবনার গণ্ডি পেরিয়ে সামাজিক মানুষের নিয়ন্তা ভূমিকা জোরদার করবার উপায়। পরিবেশ নিয়ে ভাবিত পাঠকদের জন্য এই গ্রন্থ নতুন চিন্তার খোরাক যোগাবে, সভ্যতার সর্বগ্রাসী সঙ্কটের মুখোমুখি বিকল্প ভাবনার গুরুত্ব যেমন মেলে ধরবে, তেমনি দেখাবে পথানুসন্ধানের রেখা।
