  • Description

    R. Rajagopalan’s Environment: An Illustrated Journey, published by Oxford University Press, is divided into three parts dealing with the environmental crisis and its cause, understanding the crisis and the possible counteractive measures. It offers a balanced understanding of the main issues and concerns related to the environment, both locally in India and globally. From endangered ecosystems, depleting forests and threatened species to draining natural resources, increasing pollution, rising population, and hazardous toxins, the book addresses the foremost environmental calamities confronting us today. Using environment-related stories and real-life cases from both Indian and global contexts, the book illustrates the several difficulties we face in our daily lives, offers possible solutions, and describes triumphs and disappointments. The evocative line drawings and sketches complementing the text, more often than not, present self-complete stories by themselves. The appendices on additional reading (books, magazines, and websites), resources (organizations, etc.), interesting minutiae, and a glossary of terms are the other special features of this volume. Designed to generate more sensitivity among readers towards environmental issues, the book tries to inculcate in us an appreciation of the gravity of the environmental crisis at the local and global levels.

    Not relevant for UPSC

    The book is good for a general overview of environmental issues across the globe but it no where caters to the requirement of UPSC. Not recommended for UPSC at all. There are better books for environment like Barucha and notes like Shankar IAS...

    Great book with all the up to date stuff

    This book was great. I needed something for an environment quiz as i couldn't find anything to read. This book really helped and even though I lost in the end, this book gave me a lot of information and if I had read it perfectly I would have got it right. Amazing right up and up to date news regarding all the happenings in the particular field throughout the world. Great research. Fast delivery, keep it up Flipkart.
