{"product_id":"the-unquiet-river-a-biography-of-the-brahmaputra-9780199468119","title":"The Unquiet River: A Biography of the Brahmaputra","description":"The unruly Brahmaputra has always been an agent in shaping both the landscape of its valley and the livelihoods of its inhabitants. But how much do we know of this river's rich past?\u003cbr\u003eHistorian Arupjyoti Saikia's biography of the Brahmaputra reimagines the layered history of Assam with the unquiet river at the centre. The book combines a range of disciplinary scholarship to unravel the geological forces as well as human endeavour which have shaped the river into what it is today. Wonderfully illuminated with archival detail and interwoven with narratives and striking connections, the book allows the reader to imagine the Brahmaputra's course in history.\u003cbr\u003eThis evocative and compelling book will be interesting reading for anyone trying to understand the past and the present of a river confronted by the twenty-first century's ambitious infrastructural designs to further re-engineer the river and its landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13127049\"\u003eArupjyoti Saikia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 2.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199468119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199468117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS054000\"\u003eSocial History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS017000\"\u003eAsia | South | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArupjyoti Saikia, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Guwahati\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArupjyoti Saikia is Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences in IIT Guwahati, India\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44437738422509,"sku":"9780199468119","price":55.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_d3501d48-c291-4a6e-9574-a8f0ffff2744.jpg?v=1700133524","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-unquiet-river-a-biography-of-the-brahmaputra-9780199468119","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
