Environment & Human beings are interdependent on each other. But Environmental problems are innumerable, like air pollution due to industries & automobiles, surface water pollution due to industries, domestic waste and agriculture, ground water pollution due to solid waste, soil pollution due to industries, deforestation and habitat loss due to shifting cultivation, illegal cutting of trees. It is a big challenge to maintain environmental balance along with developmental activities.Sustainable development easy to define but almost impossible to achieve. It is easy to have sustainable utilization of the renewable resources but it is impossible for the non renewable resources. Development & Environment are said to be contradictory to each other, however the bad effect of developmental process can be regulates to a great extent through proper utilization of the Technology. This text book explain in detail various types of water, air and soil pollution. The book also demonstrate the biodiversity of Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh region and provides suggestion to conserve the biodiversity. Some chapters of book have established the utility of plant diversity in different ways such as fuel, microalgae as a source of future source of biofuel, weeds can be utilized as medicine, antimicrobial activity of Tulsi plant etc. Some chapters of book explains Laws Legislation related to environment and suggestion to protect environment. This book captures the complexity and dynamics of environmental problems & development and seeking to understand this important contemporary issue.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

    Aaron Ellison / Aaron M. Ellison / Nicholas J. Gotelli
    A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practiceScale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. Scaling in Ecology with a Model System synthesizes nearly three decades of research on the ecology of Sarracenia purpurea-the northern pitcher...

  • Physiological Ecology
    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...
