<P align=justify>The Second Edition of this concise and compact text continues to highlight the need for effective environmental management, taking into account the serious damage done to the environment through environmental pollution and degradation. </P>

The book focuses its attention on the multidimensional aspects of environmental management such as sustainable development, the RIO Conference (popularly known as the Earth Summit), environment impact assessment, environmental ethics, environmental risk communication, and waste management. </P>

Dr. Bala Krishnamoorthy, with her rich experience in teaching and research, provides the reader a succinct, well-researched and engaging study of this fascinating subject.
