Mineral building materials and regionally related methods of processing are an essential part of building culture throughout the Himalayas. Based on transregional knowledge transfer, raw materials have been able to find an ecologically and economically optimised destiny in particular local applications. For this study, samples were collected as raw material or originated from certain building components. Samples were analysed according to their material properties and architectural application. Traditional building techniques were examined and their correlation with traceable material qualities studied. Clay-specific properties such as colour, grain size distribution, grain shape, hardness, plasticity, organic additives, or bulk and clay mineral properties were used as comparative parameters. This study gives fresh insight into the interaction between technical requirements, environmental resources and material implementation. It is the first scientific approach in studying the Himalayan earthen heritage in a wide scope and connecting material research and cultural heritage from various perspectives - in particular archaeology, architecture, research on materials and building techniques.

This book discusses the perception of disease, healing concepts and the evolution of traditional systems of healing in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, India. The chapters cover a diverse range issues: people and knowledge systems, healing in ancient scriptures, concept of sacredness and faith healing, food as medicament, presumptions about disease, ethno-botanical aspects of medicinal plants, collection and processing of herbs, traditional therapeutic procedures, indigenous Materia medica, etc. The book also discusses the diverse therapeutic procedures followed by Himalayan healers and their significance in the socio-cultural life of Himalayan societies. The World Health Organization defines traditional medicine as wisdom, skills, and practices based on theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, used in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness and maintenance of health. In some Asian and African countries, 80% of the population depends on traditional medicine for primary health care. However, the knowledge of these conventional healing techniques and traditions associated with conveying this knowledge are slowly disappearing. The authors highlight the importance of safeguarding this indigenous knowledge in the cultural milieu of the Himachal Himalayas. This book will be an important resource for researchers in medical anthropology, biology, ethno-biology, ecology, community health, health behavior, psychotherapy, and Himalayan studies.

The book explains how mining in the Himalayas is practiced and what needs to be done for the future. Critiques of and gaps in mining and environmental practices are discussed at length and existing practices are described through case studies of limestone, magnesite and soapstone mining. The author's three decades of rich experience and analysis enriches the discussions of how advance developmental planning can assist in project efficiency, how hill slopes can be managed and how mining practices can be dovetailed with the social fabric of the Himalayas. This reference book contains new, practical and eco-friendly solutions/ideas with eight detailed case studies, along with an environmental degradation index (EDI) for application in fragile areas. An integrated development approach has been advocated for mining bearing areas with emphasis on best practices and environment-oriented development along with an integrated strategy on a watershed basis for development and exploitation of Himalayan mineral resources. This book also explains and emphasizes that to satisfy human mineral needs, a balance between mining and environment must be struck and achieved for development and exploitation of Himalayan mineral resources. Himalayan countries (or other similar mountain systems) can benefit from the content of this exclusive first book on Himalayan mining. Book jacket.
