Know All About: Reduce Reuse Recycle is a fresh attempt to engage
you in a global problem. The book is informative and meant to help
lay persons to come to grips with an all too familiar phenomenon:
garbage. The book traces the history of waste and its generation -
from the earliest civilizations till today - and the various
efforts to find solutions. It is no technical treatise but told in
a simple way. It has information, guidelines and tips on how you
can help to reduce the problem that at times seems to be
overwhelming us. Know All About: Reduce Reuse Recycle is,
hopefully, a signpost for you along the way to cleaning up our
beautiful planet and keeping it so.
These crops are widely cultivated for domestic consumption as well
as for export purposes. They are attacked by many insect pests and
diseases, which vary with region, season, and variety. This lowers
the quality and yield, thereby increasing the cost of production
and reduces export potential. Integrated Pest Management:
Strategies for onion and garlic discusses methods and tools used to
minimize the incidence and severity caused by diseases and insect
pests. It also focuses on the symptoms of diseases caused by
various pathogens.
It looks at the key areas of health, coastal zones, water,
agriculture, forests, and ecosystems, and evaluates the feasible
measures needed to reduce the negative impacts of climate change.
The costs of these measures are enumerated in the book and compared
to current and projected programmes. The book covers the various
aspects involved in understanding adaptation to climate change in
India, and estimating the costs of dealing with it and assessing
where the expenditures have to be directed so that poor and
vulnerable people are not worse off as a result of the climate
change.
