This third edition is revised, enlarged and updated till August 2009. The previous two editions (1996 and 2004) have been received very well not only in India but in many other countries. The book is immensely popular and also features in ‘List of Recommended books for UGC (University Grants Commission, India)’ syllabus on modular course in Environment. Considerable changes have taken place in India during 2004-2009 with regard to Environmental Governance and enactment of legislations. We are sure that the students, educational institutions, industries, State and Central Government Institutions and Research Laboratories will benefit from this updated edition.
