In India, rivers have played a predominant role in the temporal, cultural and spiritual life of the people through the ages. Several civilizations and associated multi-cultures have evolved around them. Many of them have disappeared leaving trails behind them; others continue in fully and partly transformed forms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present anthology of articles on the River Valley Cultures of India is a result of the seminar organized by Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, Bhopal. It encompasses such diverse fields as hard rock geology, palaeoenvironment, palaeo-biological sciences and traditional archaeology. Also studied are settlement patterns, site formation processes, tribal research, dating methods, ecological history of rivers, diverse riparian systems and their role in history and the biocultural diversity of India. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume also addresses social problems facing man in the river valleys like disaster management and the rehabilitation of communities settled along the banks of the rivers, and various other aspects, scientific or social, of the riparian system. In view of its multidisciplinary nature, this book will be useful to every student and researcher interested in these areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFOREWORD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF CONTRIBUTORS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE HIMALAYAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
