The early Indian subcontinent was a place of dramatic environmental fluctuations that included monsoon seasons and occasional cyclonic storms. There were also significant events of warfare as documented in texts. Yet rather than viewing these events as “catastrophes,” can we think of warfare and destructive storms as offering an opportunity for specific kinds of risk management that have a positive effect on the organization of daily life? Does preparation for future disaster yield some comfort and satisfaction in the present? This is a philosophical as well as an economic and social question,
explored through the study of urbanism in the Indian subcontinent during the Early Historic period (c. 3rd c. BCE – 4th century CE).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
