Regional EIA & Risk Assessment in a Fast Developing Country

This book presents in graphic detail what is arguably the first-ever regional environmental impact assessment and risk assessment done in India, perhaps the first-ever of its kind in the third world. More importantly the book is archetypal; its utility value and message goes well beyond its immediate context because the story of the Manali Industrial Complex that it narrates can very easily be a story of any other industrial cluster in the third world.
