About the Book
This book offers a climatic and environmental history of the deltaic plains of Bengal. The volume examines how the region’s political economy, crop patterns, inland and overseas trade, demographic trends, and cultural landscape were shaped and transformed by shifts in climate, forests, river systems, and hydrology.
It provides a detailed analysis of how these environmental factors interacted with the socio-economic fabric of Bengal, influencing its development and historical trajectory. By exploring the connections between climate change, geography, and human activity, the book provides invaluable insights into how environmental forces have played a key role in shaping the history and economy of Bengal.
