It draws a holistic picture of the disaster-prone delta in eastern India, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also one of the largest tracts of mangrove forests in the world. The author juxtaposes the vulnerable lives and frequently displaced existence of the islanders against the dominant strategies of conservation and development followed by the state.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eMaps and illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Tables and charts\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Acronyms\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Note on transliteration\u003cbr\u003e 1.
