M-42. Vedic Sarasvati – Evolutionary History of a Lost River of Northwestern India
SKU:
56001
River Saraswati has exercised great fascination and unfailing interest in the minds of Earth Scientists as well as Archaeologists. The 'lost' character of this mighty river extolled in superlative terms in the Rigveda, the oldest text available to mankind, attaches great importance to this problem. A number of specialists have evaluated the evidence and traced the history of events during the last 10,000 years. This study is a fascinating exercise taking a peep into the past and discovering India's rich civilization which took shape on the banks of the Vedic Saraswati. The great number of our youth in our schools and colleges are being brought up without adequate knowledge of the very springs of our civilization and culture. The book Vedic Saraswati helps to fill in this gap.

56002
To ensure the priceless heritage of the Deccan, and its invaluable contribution to the development of Earth models, an attempt has been made to provide in these volumes a historical review of the development of our knowledge, and incidentally distinguish a few critical turning points in current research, and some important findings in ongoing comprehensive global research activities. At the same time contributions by modern workers focussing on the later developments have also been included to put the whole subject in the correct perspective. The text is amply supported by charts, sketches, plates and maps wherever necessary with adequate material appended as reference.
