"This book delves into the history of the commercialization of wildlife in India. It examines the colonial strategies that were employed in the commodification of wildlife resources specifically for lucrative domestic and international trade during the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. It looks at how and why the colonial administration paid special emphasis on hunting and game sports which largely contributed to commodity capitalism in the form of taxidermy and wildlife exports. The author also critically analyses the wildlife laws and regulations promulgated by the colonial administration, such as the elephant protection act, birds and fisheries act, the forest acts, and studies how they have systematically brought wildlife under state control with a commercial motive. An important contribution to the environmental history of India, this book is an essential interdisciplinary resource for scholars and researchers of history, colonialism, wildlife studies, economic history, ecological studies, environmental history, Indian history, South Asian studies, and development studies"--

It can also be a reference book for practicing professionals in cloud computing, IoT, big data, machine learning, and deep learning working on smart agriculture applications"--

"This book captures the complexities of both development and environment, from the political economy point of view, to offer a broad economic and environmental history of post-independent India. It analyses the various components of constitutional provisions, policies, programmes and ecology protection measures during the post-independence period, i.e., 1947-2020. The author also investigates India's land and forest policies of the 21st century: Fair Compensation of Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act 2013, and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, which pose a great threat to the ecology and environment. The volume argues, how on one hand the development agenda has undermined the environmental components for the first three decades of independence, and on other hand, how the popular vote-bank politics further has aggravated the issues related to environment in India. This book is an essential interdisciplinary resource for scholars and researchers of history, economic history, environmental studies, environmental history, Indian history, and development studies"--

"In the World Library of Educationalists series, international experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions - so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. In a career spanning four decades, S. Gopinathan is considered by many to be a pillar of teacher education in Singapore. He has played a key role in the establishment and transformation of Singapore's education system, pioneering many programmes and advising on policy both nationally and internationally. In the process, he has contributed over 25 books (authored, co-authored and edited) and 115 articles and book chapters to the field, and continues to inspire and empower younger colleagues in the region to challenge the cause for excellence in education and education reform. In Education and the Nation State, S. Gopinathan brings together 14 of his key writings in one volume. Starting with a specially written introduction, which gives an overview of Gopinathan's career and contextualises his selection, the essays are then arranged thematically, providing an overview not just of his own career, but also reflecting the development and key concerns of education in the nation state that is Singapore"--

Economic development of all the nations depends upon industrialization. But on the hand to resulted in exploitation of the natural resources which in turn has distrusted to the ecological development. The distributed on ecological balance for adversely the human and yon sounding environment. In even industrialization caused industrial or indirect in the last few decades. It has created a caution among the environmental, government and organization from all over the world. Sustainable development has become an important agenda in the international community. Various conferences and seminars are being organized to create awareness about this alarming issue. Based on this, the governments, as well as organization, take the green initiatives for environmental protection and sustainability. Environmental sustainability plays a vital role in sustainable development, with the integration of social, environmental protection. Most of the organization considered environmental protection as an important strategy and started offering environment friendly or green products and services to the society. But the concept of environmental sustainability and green product and services is new to developing countries like India.
