system works, why it is inherently complex and variable, how human
activities may affect our climate and the implications of climatic
variability and climate change for economic activities and human
welfare.

Bangladesh. ASA-Text 6; Berlin: FDCL; ISBN 3-923020-18-X;.
- Schmuck-Widmann shows how inhabitants of the Brahmaputra islands
(chars) in Bangladesh regard their problems in a way that is quite
different from that of Western observers. Her account adopts a different
language from that of disaster reports in the media; the
char-dwellers are not helpless victims of their environment. Instead
they actively devise strategies to live with the floods. 228 pp.,
