Book Details

In 'Mahatma Gandhi: an apostle of applied human ecology', Dr T N Khoshoo, a well-known environmental scientist, presents a selection of Mahatma Gandhi's views on the environment, elaborates on them to show that they are as relevant today as they were before, and reinterprets them by adding his extensive commentary on many of the topics. The book highlights the essential truth, clearly perceived by Mahatma Gandhi, that the human being must be the focus of all attempts to analyse and address environmental issues and emphasizes the need for a creative synthesis between the rural development under a local government and industrial development at the macro level.

  • . . . Perhaps if the average Indian realised that what the Mahatma advocated is not sack cloth and ashes but a 'healthy blend of environmental, social, developmental and economic imperatives', his or her perception of the issues involved would change. This book should go a long way in bringing about that realisation???...From a purely academic point of view, the book is of immense intellectual interest.

  • 'Exceptionally well written, containing stimulating thoughts to contemplate, this book is outstanding'
