Fundamentals of Environmental Studies

Abstract

Man owes all his achievements to the congenial environment he had on this Earth. With his superior intellect, by virtue of his brain capacity, he has utilized the resources available in nature for his needs. Though the resources were bountiful, we have now reached a state where one finds scarcity of natural resources due to overexploitation. It is high time that we start thinking about sustainability. In this context, the authors of this book have done an excellent job of depicting the current environmental issues in a systematic manner in ten well-written chapters. The first feeling one gets after reading this book is that the authors are truly passionate about the content of the book. As they have rightly mentioned in the preface, the main objective of this book seems to be to enlighten and enthuse the young readers to strive for a better environment.
