But how much do we know of this river's rich past?\u003cbr\u003eHistorian Arupjyoti Saikia's biography of the Brahmaputra reimagines the layered history of Assam with the unquiet river at the centre. The book combines a range of disciplinary scholarship to unravel the geological forces as well as human endeavour which have shaped the river into what it is today. Wonderfully illuminated with archival detail and interwoven with narratives and striking connections, the book allows the reader to imagine the Brahmaputra's course in history.\u003cbr\u003eThis evocative and compelling book will be interesting reading for anyone trying to understand the past and the present of a river confronted by the twenty-first century's ambitious infrastructural designs to further re-engineer the river and its landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArupjyoti Saikia, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Guwahati\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArupjyoti Saikia is Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences in IIT Guwahati, India\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 x 8.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45775472984261,"sku":"9780199468119","price":69.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/MMDJjkwrWr9780199468119.webp?v=1770534681","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-unquiet-river-a-biography-of-the-brahmaputra-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
