A novel system for boosting land productivity and income of smallholder farmers by intercropping vegetables in waterlogged paddy fields in the coastal zone of the Ganges Delta
Peepholes, Eels, and Pickett's Charge
What is microhistory, exactly? We know it when we see it, but does it have any formal characteristics beyond a tight focus on a small subject? This survey of microhistorical theory, practice, and historiography contends that its particular historical methods emanate from a core set of precepts grounded in contingency, disruption, uncertainty, and transparency. Over the last fifty years, the practice of microhistory in the United States has been c…
Freedom Seekers
Pargas’ thoughtful new book is not quite what it seems. Its title notwithstanding, Freedom Seekers: Fugitive Slaves in North America, 1800–1860 is not a comprehensive new history of fugitivity from North American slavery. It does not attend to every variety of freedom seeking; military service with the British during the War of 1812 in return for postwar liberty is, for instance, noticeably absent. Nor does it assess the political significance of…

Slave Suicide, Abolition and the Problem of Resistance
We Shall Be No More
Suicide is a quintessentially individual act, yet one with unexpectedly broad social implications. Though seen today as a private phenomenon, in the uncertain aftermath of the American Revolution this personal act seemed to many to be a public threat that held no less than the fate of the fledgling Republic in its grip. Salacious novelists and eager newspapermen broadcast images of a young nation rapidly destroying itself. Parents, physicians, mi…
Subsurface investigations of landslides using geophysical methods
Landslides occur frequently all over the world, causing at times considerable economic damage, injuries and even death. In order to improve hazard assessment, common landslide types of a given region need to be investigated in detail. While traditional techniques of subsurface investigation are expensive and only provide point information, geophysical methods are suitable tools for gathering 2D and 3D information on the subsurface quickly, reliab…
Conservation with a human face
‘Africa is on the brink of ecological collapse.’ So said a senior World Bank official at a development conference at Tananarivo in November 1985, and most people seemed to believe him. This type of belief has long given licence to government and international intervention in African rural development, and particularly to conservationist lobbies to promote a conservationist programme in Africa. The outlines of this programme are stated in the Worl…
