Sinopse

"Wetlands of India" highlights the critical, often overlooked, role of these ecosystems in India's ecological and economic well-being. The book explores their astonishing biodiversity, from endangered flora and fauna to their function as vital habitats. It also investigates their crucial role in flood and drought mitigation, acting as natural sponges. The book emphasizes that these wetlands are essential stopover points for migratory birds, showcasing the far-reaching consequences of their degradation. 

 
The book unfolds by defining wetlands and exploring their ecological characteristics. Case studies of major Indian wetlands, like the Sundarbans and Chilika Lake, illustrate unique biodiversity and ecological functions. Threats such as pollution and climate change are analyzed, followed by an exploration of conservation strategies. 

 
Ultimately, the book argues that sustainable environmental and economic futures depend on effective wetland conservation.

    The delightfully comic account of a British couple and their imported cats starting over in a new country continues in Bucket to Greece Volume 4. The atmosphere is tense in the Bucket household, with Barry and Cynthia, or specifically Cynthia and her vile mutant cat, having outstayed their welcome. The race is on for them to find somewhere to live before their imminent wedding. Harold's house has potential, but Barry needs Victor's help to take advantage of the obnoxious Brit. 
     
     
     
    With chickens to tend and local politics to break into, Victor discovers retirement offers little time for lazing about. He takes to the sea, repping on the lazy day cruise in the company of the ouzo loving Kapetanios Vasos and his mute sidekick Sami, and crams up on Greek aphrodisiacs to prepare for a gastronomic excursion. Victor schemes to rid the house of superfluous kittens, hatches a plot to ensure the local taverna isn't turned into a tourist attraction, and lends a hand with the search when Spiros' uncle Leo goes on the missing list. Spiros, courting the fragrant Sampaguita, introduces her to the exciting ex-pat scene of inedible foreign dinners; Milton is targeted by vanity publishing scammers, and a stubborn sheep stalks the streets of Meli.
