BLUE. GREY. GREEN. is the first book of Ashwini Kumble, a young student, an aspiring writer and a passionate artist. In this book, she takes the readers through a journey of mixed emotions – varying from the wondrous spirit of nature to that of darkness, hope and joy in the expanse of the ocean of life – sparking a sense of creativity all along. As you flip through these pages of the heart and mind, your eyes will spot her portrayals in each poem trying to unlock the door of a new dimension. In these poems, you will find a voice, an experience, a dream, an incomplete emotion, a gap between the lines or simply an array of literature alongside self-designed illustrations. So, perch by the window, atop a mountain, cross-legged on the ocean bay or comfy on the pool chair – a ride through these touching pages – let’s call it a date!

An Environmental History of the Civil War

This sweeping new history recognizes that the Civil War was not just a military conflict but also a moment of profound transformation in Americans' relationship to the natural world. To be sure, environmental factors such as topography and weather powerfully shaped the outcomes of battles and campaigns, and the war could not have been fought without the horses, cattle, and other animals that were essential to both armies. But here Judkin Browning and Timothy Silver weave a far richer story, combining military and environmental history to forge a comprehensive new narrative of the war's significance and impact. As they reveal, the conflict created a new disease environment by fostering the spread of microbes among vulnerable soldiers, civilians, and animals; led to large-scale modifications of the landscape across several states; sparked new thinking about the human relationship to the natural world; and demanded a reckoning with disability and death on an ecological scale. And as the guns fell silent, the change continued; Browning and Silver show how the war influenced the future of weather forecasting, veterinary medicine, the birth of the conservation movement, and the establishment of the first national parks. In considering human efforts to find military and political advantage by reshaping the natural world, Browning and Silver show not only that the environment influenced the Civil War's outcome but also that the war was a watershed event in the history of the environment itself.
