Environment is a holistic view of the world as it functions at anytime, whit a multitude of special elemental and socio-economic systems distinguished by quality and attributes of space and mode of behaviour of biotic and abiotic forms. It may be concluded that environment consists of an inseparable whole system constituted by physical, chemical, biological, social and cultural elements which are interlinked individually and collectively in myriad ways. Environment is a fairly new concept and viewed with different angels by the human society. The word environment has been defined in a number of ways, for example, Environment is the sum of all social, ecoomical, biological, physical and chemical factors, which constitute the surrounding of man, who is both creator and moulder of his environment.

Book excerpt: This exhaustive and thorough book on environmental governance in India examines the multi-layered interaction between society and nature in the light of the role of the State, the Judiciary and Civil Society.

Key Features: • Issues of environment and governance written in a lucid and jargon-free language. • Urban environmentalism in India elucidated on the basis of an empirical study. • Exploration of social issues in environmental governance. • Environmental governance explained from both global and Indian perspectives.
