ABOUT THE BOOK: Organisms live together in a given ecosystem for a long period of time. Then, through time, they show high degree of intrinsic stability and resilience to climate and other environmental factors in the given ecosystems; the natural phenomena become disturbed resulting in human-organism conflict. To avoid this lethal conflict between environment and human beings, there is a crying need of formulation of certain strategies to manage the environment ecofriendly. In this book, main emphasis has been laid down on reckoning the environmental threats and their possible integrated management.
This book is a unique compilation of most recent research articles of eminent environmental scientists which will be helpful for students, research scholars, professors as well as policy makers in achieving the long cherished dream of ecosocialism.
