Part 1 covers the foundation topics like history, definitions, types, root causes and the connection between corruption and politics in India. Part 2 delves into the level and types of corruption in India. The chapters in this part deal with a gamut of topics, right from the dynamics of bureaucratic corruption in India to how to tackle the supply side of corruption in India. Part 3 covers the various anti-corruption aspirations in India. This part details out the information on various measures to combat corruption and reform India’s governance, and the heroes and their honest efforts to fight against corruption. The last chapter in this part covers the Indian anti-corruption agenda wherein various aspects and mechanisms like tools for engaging citizens, strengthening of RTI as an instrument for enhancing government transparency, strengthening of political will, virtualization of anti-corruption strategies, focus groups for supporting the citizen voice, participatory performance monitoring, anti-corruption initiatives and their dynamics, etc. are discussed. Part 4 goes beyond the Indian landscape and provides a cross-country analysis to help us pinpoint options for reforms that have worked in other nations and those that can be applied to the Indian situation as well. This part also deals with the cooperative, cross-sector role played by international cooperation agencies, global networks, conference programs and collaborative solutions in combating corruption both in India and on a global level.

Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and cyclones cannot be prevented. However, their adverse effects can be considerably reduced if the people are prepared and have adopted the relevant mitigation measures. Earthquakes do not kill by themselves. It is our lack of knowledge about the level of risk that we face and how to make our dwellings earthquake-resistant, that does. It is agonizing to see that villages and buildings, rebuilt after past earthquakes, are flattened once again by the next ones. This happens only because the new structures that are put up in place of the collapsed ones are as vulnerable as the old. Basic precautionary measures, which can reduce the extent of damage, are not taken. The help rendered by the Govt. and Non-Govt. Organisations (NGOs) in this regard is not sufficient. The ordinary people of India have to fend for themselves. It is therefore imperative that they learn about disaster management and take mitigation measures on their own to reduce damage and losses.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe aim of this book is to increase the awareness of the people about earthquakes, the risks involved and what can be done to mitigate the effects of such a disaster. It also explains the methods of inspection and repair of earthquake- affected buildings. The book is not a theoretical treatise on earthquakes. It is meant to be a ‘do it yourself’ handbook.

The Earth’s climate has changed throughout the Earth’s history—from glacial periods when ice covered significant portions of the Earth—to interglacial periods when ice either retreated to poles or melted entirely. Since the advent of ‘Industrial Revolution’, man-made activities have added significant quantities of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels on a massive scale is releasing huge amount of carbon dioxide which is one of the major gases causing global warming; other gases include methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emphasizes that the warming of the climate system is unequivocal and that it is happening because of unsustainable human activities. The report also states that average temperature of earth will rise around 3°C in this century if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at current pace. This will have adverse impacts on agricultural production, food security and availability of fresh water. The climate changes anticipated due to global warming will lead to intensification of tropical cyclones, irregular rainfall patterns and frequent droughts and floods.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book examines in detail a variety of topics ranging from the history of global warming to the current global trends. It focuses on the controversy regarding the main causes of global warming, the role of UN on climate change, and specific problems of India in this regard. It also studies its overall projected impacts, sectorwise impacts on different regions, the importance of the Himalayan glacial system and the effect of present climatic conditions on Himalayan glaciers, vast coastal areas and numerous islands. The latest initiatives and measures taken to reverse the dangerous process of global warming form an integral part of the book.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be highly useful to the government executives, policymakers and NGOs concerned with global warming problems. It will also be useful to the students, teachers and researchers in the field of environment.

Glaciers thinning in Antarctica and receding of Himalayan glaciers are being considered as alarm bells for the entire world. Recently, scientists have predicted that if global warming goes on, nothing can prevent large chunks of earth's surface — coastal Bangladesh, Maldives, alpine meadows in the Rocky Mountains and some barrier lands — from being swept away in the forseeable future. It has been aptly observed by David King, UK Government’s Chief Scientific Adviser, “Climate change poses a bigger threat to the planet than terrorism.”\n\u003cbr\u003eThe world not only needs to take a tough stand against any further investments that support and prolong our dependence on fossil fuels, but also to make deep cuts in the carbon emissions if humanity is to survive. Realising the urgent need for arresting the trend; for developing awareness in the readers about the preservation of biodiversity and its significance for life, sustainability and equity; and for warning against the consequences of environmental exploitation as well, the present Volume has been compiled. An attempt has been made here to study not only the general causes and effects of global warming but also to highlight its effect on particular regions. Kyoto Protocol — an international law, aiming to reduce greenhouse gases emissions — has been analytically studied and remedial measures have also been suggested in this Volume.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book would be highly useful for students and researchers of Environment. It would be useful to Government executives and NGOs concerned with environment and pollution problems. Since the laymen are deeply interested in clean environment, the book would be of great interest to them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908146360471,"sku":"9788126905300","price":417.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126905300.webp?v=1769306221"},{"product_id":"environmental-education-in-india","title":"Environmental Education In India","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): K.R.

Today our understanding of environment has certainly become more scientific as well as more humane. We have come to accept that the environment and society should be seen in integrity and not separate from each other. The ‘Doomsday syndrome’ of 1970s has been rejected. The science, society and politics have come closer for better understanding of the environment as well as to hammer out policy-decisions to ensure inclusive sustainable growth in a more equitable and more dignified world. The rectification or improvisation of the environment has become tied with welfare of humanity. New philosophical paradigms have redefined the man-man and man-nature relations in a subtle way. The more we study the environment, the more complex it becomes. But that has not come in the way of taking concrete steps. Growing sensitiveness has forced us to eco-restructure our energy base and social behavior. The pattern of the climate-change negotiations and actions taken in this regard show that we are moving on the path of sustainability, albeit little slow. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe book attempts to encapsulate several dimensions of contemporary discussion on environment in five chapters dealing with separate yet interconnected themes. These five themes are: biodiversity; global warming; sustainable development; eco-summits; and environmentalisms. It presents a holistic picture of the debate on environment in the backdrop of developments in scientific knowledge as well as changing social, political, geo-political, economic, and technological realities. The book is written with global perspective in mind so far as the issues are concerned. But at the same time these issues have been contextualized in the larger debate on varying perceptions in different regions, especially the developed and developing countries.
