Such a huge number of books, journals and papers have been devoted
to defining, assessing and implementing 'sustainable development'
that students and other readers face information overload.
Earthscan alone has published hundreds of essays and books on the
subject. Now, though, the most authoritative writings have been
carefully assessed and collected together in the Earthscan Reader
in Sustainable Development. The contributions included span five
years of the debate, and cover all the principal themes: the
history of the concept; the problems in defining it; the issues
surrounding it; and national and international policies and schemes
to implement it. For ease of use, the essays have been split into
key subject areas - such as agriculture, population and the commons
- and they include practical case studies and examples, together
with analyses from a number of different viewpoints from both the
North and South. These seminal essays will provide readers with a
unique overview of the subject, as well as the long-awaited basic
course material for students of environmental studies, economics,
geography, politics, planning and the social sciences.
Nepal is associated, in most people's imagination, with Everest
(Sagarmatha to the Nepalese), vivid plants and picturesque villages
and people. The truth, as always, is other. It is one of the
poorest countries in the world, surrounded by big and powerful
neighbours. It is immensely diverse, ranging from the great
mountains to the north through the trans-Himalaya, a high barren
plateau, through the deep valleys, which include the one which
contains the ancient cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, to
the Terai which is an extension of Ganges plain. This atlas
describes not only the complexity of the environment, but the
people, the languages, the towns and industries, the agriculture,
food and land management, the natural resources, the effects of
tourism, sources of energy, transport and education policies.

in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
