Environment  (English, Paperback, Rajagopalan)

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.
