Environmental Conscience: Socio-legal and Judicial Paradigm

The fifteen essays in this book attempt to analyse the socio-legal and judicial aspects of environmental conscience. Studying the theoretical orientations of ecology and environment, they evaluate the impact of development and population on environment.
They also discuss at length the problems of sustainability in the Third World Countries, effect of development of science and technology on human security, environmental consequences of economic policy, urban environment and its governance, environmental degradation and management, and environmental law. The role of judiciary in creating environmental consciousness and implementation of environmental laws has been explored as well.
The book will provoke, educate and stimulate the readers of different hues of life. Students in particular will enjoy the diverse views expressed in the essays for further insight into the issue. This will be a valuable source for the environmentalists, human activists associated with conscientious society about the emerging threats to global life.
