CONCERN for the environment and its protection is growing day by day. People have at last begun to realise that indiscriminate exploitation of the earth's resources and pollution-creating practices have resulted in making nature's environmental balance topsy-turvy with dangerous consequences for the future of mankind .
This book discusses the economics of environmental planning and management and approaches the subject from the angle of the economist. There is a widespread belief that environmental protection and conservation is a very expensive process and thus economically non-viable. This belief has been demolished and an attempt has been made to not only lay out a route map for environmental economics but also make it easy for students and teachers of the subject. To this end, the chapters include Environmental economics: An Introduction; Economic Growth and Quality of the Environment; Environmental Information and Audit; General Equilibrium Model of Environmental Quality; Environmental Liability; Sustainable Economic Growth, Production and Development; Environmental Values and Benefit Estimation; Measuring Economic Benefits from Market Data; Measuring Economic Benefits from Non-Market Data; Conservation in Less Developed Countries; Environmental studies in India.
Thus, all those concerned with environmental conservation, environmental protection, policy makers and planners will find this book useful to enhance their knowledge and also achieve a clear perspective of the subject.
