It examines varied perspectives and issues of development related to environmental destruction and sustainability challenges. By examining the recent trends of development and recording the dilemmas which are creating ecological imbalances, it explores some alternative ways of development to achieve sustainability. Divided into three parts, it has a broad canvass. The first section examines critically the ‘perspectives’ on ecology, practice and ethics, rural development and man–forest interaction in the metropolis. ‘Issues’ of dams, river, agricultural distress, environmental migration, eco-tourism, ecological conservation and land acquisition are assessed in part second. ‘Alternative’ means of development is explored in part third by incorporating chapters on the constructed wetland, biofuels, subsistence economy, water and traditional knowledge practice. This interdisciplinary book is of immense significance to academicians, researchers, postgraduate and graduate-level students of social sciences and environmental studies; policymakers, development practitioners and NGOs working in the area of environment and development. .Environmental sciencesSocial aspectsSustainabilityEnvironmental healthHuman geographyEnvironmental Social SciencesSustainabilityEnvironmental HealthHuman GeographyEnvironmental sciencesSocial aspects.Sustainability.Environmental health.Human geography.Environmental Social Sciences.Sustainability.Environmental Health.Human Geography.338.95407Verma Manish K.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483286303321Environment, development and sustainability in India1905808UNINA
