Abstract
[First paragraph]
One Sun, Two Worlds: An Ecological Journey is an exceptional piece of research by a group of scientists, headed by the noted ecologist P.S. Ramakrishnan. The volume is styled in the form of a dialogue between two knowledge systems, i.e. the 'Traditional Knowledge' represented by a villager with a rich experiential traditional knowledge heritage, and the 'Formal Knowledge' represented by a scientist with his text-book based formulations in the area of natural resource management. This ecological journey is through the Great Divide that persists between the Two Worlds - the rural poor with rich traditional wisdom on the one hand, and the larger scientific elite endowed with formal learning on the other. The whole journey begins with understanding Nature, and concludes by discussing an "Evolving Eco-philosophy."
