ECOLOGY AND ECONOMICS (OIP)

The volume presents the basic concepts of ecological study and focuses on the interlinkages between environment and economics. It covers a range of issues relating to conflicting paradigms of ecology and economics, components of the ecosystem, biogeochemical cycles, population, environment, and sustainability of economic development. The author enriches the analysis with examples and case studies in the Indian context, and stresses on the role of technology and human values in environment friendly long term development planning. Undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and scholars in environmental economics, and general readers with an active interest in ecology and environment-related issues will find the book an indispensable reference.
