Environmental Development and Management: Strategies and Policies

 
G.C. Pande (Editor) D.C. Pandey (Editor)
Synopsis Environmental Development and Management: Strategies and Policies is indeed a novel addition to the existing literature on the wider dimensions of the burning problem. It is an outcome of extensive research work by many collaborating experts in this field; and gathering, examining and analysing the data of observations on varying dimensions from different parts of the globe. It is timely, up to date and rigorously selective collection of precisely relevant original and field-based observations, analytical conceptual discussions, and well documented scientific papers of experts, veterans in academics and scientists of wider recognition. A really vast profile of the extensive subject matter is spread-over the broad five parts. The first Part, 'Environmental Concepts: Options and Strategies' consists of few chosen and nicely edited papers on nature, dimensions, depth of crisis, consciousness, awareness, space informatics and condensed backdrop of the environmental debate during 20th century and its status at the beginning of 21st century. Part-Two and Part-Three constitute the heartland of the volume wherein scientists have investigated the levels of pollution and scaled the threat to human survival. Each major aspect of ecological deterioration and source of pollution has been carefully examined and every dimension has received a very lucid treatment. Similarly different strategies and methods of agro-forest resource management in different parts of the globe have been discussed at length, dressed with facts and pulpitating with life. Parts Four and Five comprise very interesting discussions on diagnosis of the impact of ecological degradation on habitat, society and the economy. These parts present the prognostic and prescriptive options of environmental management.
