This book is not a mere textbook. The author has written with passion and zeal ... In fact, I have read out the book's account on the Bhopal gas tragedy to my students and received silence as their affirmation of the seriousness of the world's worst industrial disaster ... The author makes clear suggestions on what must be done, including collective and individually conducted actions ... The dispersion of facts and figures throughout the book will engage the wandering student mind of the amateur environmentalist. It felt good to have read this book as it made me feel closer to my green home. It has also made me feel more responsible and realise once again the urgency of the planetary crisis. V.R. Manoj, International Journal of Environmental Studies
