The book deals with various aspects of environmental planning and management. While the earlier book Environmental Awareness and Protection dealt with basic issues concerning the environment and its protection the present book is more specific towards the planning as well as management aspects of conservation of the environment. A few features of the book are it is written in a simple language free of jargon and difficult technical mathematical or statistical matters that could put off readers from pursuing the topics. The examples stated are practical and matters presented reflect the latest information on the matter discussed. The emphasis is on what every one can do to conserve the environment as several micro issues relating to the environment concern ordinary citizens as well as government industry and business. The book is eminently suited as a textbook for students who are expected to study environmental related issues as part of the syllabus. After understanding and appreciating the several aspects of the environment the book offers helpful information on what needs to be done to protect the environment by proper planning and scientific management. No ad hoc solutions are expected to work while dealing with environmental issues. For instance recycling is an important aspect that could not only minimise waste collection and disposal but also helps in saving virgin materials as part of conservation strategy. Even a desire on the part of the government to declare a certain park a wildlife sanctuary needs a through understanding of the various issues involved. Here the environmental planning and management issues come to the fore. Thus the book is expected as a valuable guide to the planning and management aspects that would help in nature conservation efforts at the micro as well as macro level. The book should serve as valuable inputs to anyone who wants to understand appreciate and then take up conservation measures be it an individual activist NGO group business industry or government. It is recommended as a textbook for students in various institutions.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Contents Preface. Acknowledgements. 1. Introduction. 2. Disaster management. 3. Disaster prevention/mitigation. 4. National disaster management framework. 5. Natural disasters and management. 6. Coping with Tsunami and floods. 7. Earthquake mitigation. 8. Climate change and disasters. 9. Man made disasters and management. 10.

The subject of Disaster Management is assuming great importance of late. A few natural disasters like Tsunami Kashmir earthquake Mumbai floods have occurred heaping untold miseries on a large population. Man made disasters like terrorist attacks for example the World Trade Centre Towers in New York and London underground train blasts and in Kashmir accidents on road sea rail and air or release of toxic gas like the Bhopal gas tragedy have highlighted the need for national policy on disaster management and mitigation policy. The book Disaster Management is an attempt to bridge the gap in the availability on information of disasters. It spells out the need for better disaster management that would bring relief immediately to the victims of the tragedy. Moreover a disaster should lead to long term development. This is what is highlighted in the chapters. For the students and even others to understand and appreciate the nature of disaster management its is imperative they are exposed to all the aspects of disaster management in a manner they could easily comprehend. That is why technical jargon has been kept to the minimum. The style is simple and easy to understand. Examples of various types of disasters are furnished. Concrete steps have been suggested how each type of disaster could be tackled with both in terms of a short term perspective as well as long term solutions. Box 1 contains key words and box 2 topics for study that could help the students to concentrate on key issues and so appreciate the subject matter better. Students and others could use the book as a reference for dealing with any type of disaster. Each disaster is unique and the nature of mitigation could be different. However what is needed is not an ad hoc approach but a professional and result oriented policy that helps the victims. Not only short term interests of the affected persons should be looked into but also a disaster should spur the government into providing long term development for the people. For example quakeproof housing could provide a permanent solution to the earthquake problem. It is expected that the book would serve the interests of the students as a source of information for understanding and appreciating the finer aspects of disaster management. Others like the general readers the NGOs government employees and others could find a matter or two that could interest them. The more one understands how a disaster could be handled the better for a professional approach to disaster management and mitigation. 162 pp.…
