"This is the most up-to-date textbook covering in detail all aspects of ecology--Autecology, Synecology, environmental factors, biodiversity and fundamentals of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Although it has been designed basically to familiarize the students of the South Asian Universities with the concepts of ecology, it will also be invaluable to anyone interested in this field."
