Synopsis Man is not merely a resident of this earth. He is a builder and a geomorphic agent bringing frequent changes in his environment.  He employs his physical strength and brain power to overcome the obstacles and to exploit the opportunities of the nature.  To fulfil and satisfy his needs and scientific activities, he is making constant use of natural resources.  This has resulted in over-exploitation and depletion of many natural resources.  Such a situation has made it necessary to frequently reaporaise the availability of resources.  The present book makes an endeavour to evaluate the origin, sources, qualities, uses, geographical distribution of numerous natural resources and activities like agriculture, chemicals, animal industry, corn, cassava, dairy products and substitutes, fertilizer industry, fibre, textile and clothing, fisheries, forest industries, leather, paper, plastics, rice, rye, oats, rubber, sugar, tea, coffee, vegetables and fruits and wheat in easy to understand language.  This unique presentation will suit to the needs of teachers, students, researchers and general readers.
