      abstract = {This book takes a unique approach to the ethnographic and  analytical explorations of ecologies as entangled in their  makings. It positions its arguments through emerging  anthropocene contexts as entanglements across hybrid  ecologies that unravel. The subsumed relationships between  actors and the unprecedented interactions across the human  and non-human entities brings up unique problematics. The  book depends on existing literature, ethnographic work, and  the close introspection of immediate geographies  interspersed with the pertinent debates. Reconfiguration of  relationships through changing orders and regimes towards  the neo-liberal global moments of places manifest as  matters of designs and demarcations. The chapters point at  the often-unintended outcomes of such designs as it becomes  evident from the meandering rivers, rains, wetlands,  unprecedented floods, invasive ecologies, and 'encounters'  with the wild. This work is a careful enquiry into  ecologies in the making through ethnographies from Kerala,  South-West India.
