| Abstract
|
:
|
India is a country with over a billion people living in a land area one-third the size of the United States. It is a complex society in which the natural environment and the layers of many cultures are woven together to create the fascinating nation that is the subject of this book. Its history spans the Indus River civilization of 2500 B.C. to the nuclear age. Its geography encompasses the staggering peaks of the Himalayas in the north to the sandy beaches of Cape Comorin in the south. India is a country that the world cannot afford to ignore or to misunderstand. This book is a geographical journey through this complex, interesting, and exciting nation.
