Environment and the Developing World brings together the various
aspects of environmental studies and management (earth and natural
sciences, engineering and economics) as they relate to the
developing world. It discusses environmental issues as well as the
techniques and infrastructure for their management at various
levels: global, national and local. The examples range from global
warming and ozone depletion to the management of water resources
and indoor air pollution. The book stresses the interrelated and
interdisciplinary nature of environment, discusses the concept of
sustainable development, explores the role of non-governmental
organisations, and evaluates the importance attributed by
international and multilateral organisations to monitoring
environmental aspects of development projects. It critically
reviews various economic, social and regulatory policies which
address environmental issues. The different disciplines of the two
authors (a physical geographer and a public policy economist) help
to maintain the balanced and interdisciplinary nature of the book.
Written primarily for advanced undergraduates, this is a
stimulating text for any environment related course. Written in
simple language and avoiding unnecessary jargon the book explains
clearly the technical aspects of environmental management. Profuse
illustrations, a large number of examples from a range of
geographical areas, boxed case studies and stimulating exercises
make the book attractive and comprehensive. All these features make
the book a unique teaching tool in environmental management in the
developing world.
