All of these are factors to research when one considers \"losing nature.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn philosophical as well as theoretical terms the question of what is nature, what is gained and lost in human-nature interaction, what is the essential \"balance\" of nature, are all important queries on a similar scale. Societal reality in present day Brazil and India is reconstructed and deconstructed at will by the powerful influence of the past alongside that of globalization and technocratic market structures. The volume contemplates the representation and interrogation of environmental issues in both subcontinents, Brazil and India.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMurali Sivaramakrishnan is poet, painter, professor and former chair of English at Pondicherry University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZélia M.
