Environmental Studies - From Crisis to Cure  (English, Paperback, Rajagopalan)

The book discusses the major environmental problems we face today: runaway growth, imperiled ecosystems, disappearing forests, endangered species, dwindling natural resources, dangerous toxic wastes, green laws, and other such issues. It illustrates various problems, solutions, successes, and failures using more than 100 real-life case studies from India and elsewhere. Written in a student-friendly manner, the text is enriched with a large number of illustrations.
