Book Synopsis Ganga by : Julian Crandall Hollick

Download or read book Ganga written by Julian Crandall Hollick and published by Shearwater Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining travelogue, science, and history, Ganga is an extraordinary journey through northern India: from the river's source high in the Himalayas, past great cities and poor villages, to lush Saggar Island, where the river finally meets the sea. Along the way Julian Crandall Hollick encounters priests and pilgrims, dacoits and dolphins, the fishermen who subsist on the river, and the villagers whose lives have been destroyed by her. He finds that popular devotion to Ganga is stronger and blinder than ever, and it is putting her--and her people--in great risk.
