complete the manuscript. In many rigorous field works in Sundarbans, the
assistance provided by Ms. Ankita has helped me to add case studies of various
dimensions. The sacrifice and inspiration that I received from my dad, Late Dhanesh
Chandra Mitra, can be considered as the foundation pillar of my effort in learning
ecology and grasping the subject.
The book would not have arrived at the present stage without the constant encouragement and prodding from Dr. Goutam Roy Chowdhury, chancellor of Techno
India University, West Bengal, and my very beloved brother, Dr. Arpan Mitra.
Finally, I wish to acknowledge the assistance of Dr. Sufia Zaman, Dr. Prosenjit
Pramanick and Dr. Mourani Sinha of Techno India University, West Bengal, for
going through the entire manuscript very critically and making it palatable to the
readers.
