DESCRIPTION
|
This comprehensive book, now in its third edition, brings into fore the fundamental concepts of environment management. The elegantly combined presentation of various aspects of environment, ecosystems, effects of global warming and pollution, and various ways to conserve nature and save environment, with profundity, is a highlight of this text.
The third edition, while retaining the thorough coverage of the various areas of environment management—ecology, biodiversity, degradation of environment, agro-ecosystem and sustaining agriculture, forest and wildlife, waste management, emerging disciplines in environmental management, environment legislation, ethical aspects of environment—throws light on a new chapter on Ecological Dynamics and Human Influence that discusses the various environmentally significant behaviour, including environmental activism, eco-terrorism, bio-terrorism, agro-terrorism, ecotage, Green Scare, and environmental refugee.
Designed as a textbook for the postgraduate students of management, this book can be equally useful for the undergraduate students of all disciplines.
