Hardcover. Condition: New. Wetlands are transitional areas between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems where the water table is usually at or near the surface, or the land is covered by shallow water. Wetlands are among the most productive life support systems in the world and are of immense socio-economic and ecological importance to mankind. In India wetlands are distributed in different geographical regions. Wetlands play critical role in the improvement of water quality through the arrest of pollutants (organic inorganic) from direct release to the natural water bodies and by removal of sediments, production of oxygen, recycling of nutrients, and treatment of wastewater by removing nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria and viruses. The wetlands act as habitat for fish shellfish, and for birds, mammals, reptiles amphibians, many of which are of economic value in terms of subsistence and commercial fishing, hunting and trapping. Non-consumptive uses of the wetlands, viz. bird watching, recreation, aesthetics, educational activities, and scientific research are also well recognized. Population pressures in the past few decades led to rapid utilization of natural resources for land based development. In this process wetlands were treated with contempt. Ignoring their importance, wetlands were considered obstacles in the path of progress and reservoirs of diseases. Wetlands were hence drained, filled and reclaimed for more economic gains. The rivers were dammed, regulated and channellized leading to modification or elimination of floodplains. This led to a considerable alteration of wetland habitats and the composition of associated flora and fauna. A select list of activities that affected wetlands is presented in Table - 1. In the recent past importance of wetlands has been realized by the policy makers worldover and efforts are being made to protect the wetlands from further deterioration and loss. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is potentially one of the most valuable, inter-disciplinary and objective decision-making tools with respect to alternate routes for development, process technologies and project sites. It is an anticipatory mechanism which establishes quantitative values for parameters indicating the quality of the environment and natural systems before, during and after the proposed developmental activity, thus allowing measures ensuring environmental compatibility and economic efficacy. EIA is designed to present a clear and concise picture of all benefits and costs associated with alternative courses of action, and thus provides a mechanism for merging concerns for ecology and economics in the process of decision-making. In many cases developmental activities adversely affect wetland benefits which are of value to communities and natural processes. EIA can provide very useful information on how wetlands will be affected by the proposed developmental activities to ensure effective management of wetlands. EIA can help planners make rational decisions about resource allocation and ensure that the wetland benefits required for sustainable development are maintained. The objective of this manual is to assist project proponents, conservation activists and decision makers to identify the wetland benefits present at a particular site as also benefits which are likely to be adversely affected by a particular project activity. This would enable assessing the extent and cost of the management plan required to mitigate these impacts. With the backdrop of international conventions for wetland protection and initiatives of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, manual delineates step by step procedure for EIA of developmental activities affecting wetland benefits. Worksheets that could enable preparation of case studies are included in the manual. Four casestudies prepared by the institutions that participated in the March 1995 workshop organized by the British Council, at Calcutta, have been included in the manual.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. It was rather refreshing to read a book which has adapted a problem-based learning approach with case-based discussions. The modern undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum is increasingly adapting this methodology of learning. The learning would also suit mini clinical examination, which is used for assessment. The approach to the chapters with a clinical history, examination findings followed by investigations is what we do on a daily basis. However, the thinking for possible differential diagnosis and management may differ based on the knowledge and experience of the individual caring for the patient. Each chapter addresses this issue by starting with the case history, examination and investigations. Pertinent questions follow with appropriate answers. The answers are practical approach to the case and are enhanced by detail medication tables, suitable illustrations and flowcharts followed by references for further knowledge enhancement. Key Features: Medical education is unique in the sense that it not only involves theoretical knowledge transfer but also skill transfer. Beside clinics, grand rounds, daily ward rounds, case discussions all aim at this skill acquisition by the leaners. This book aims at providing this skill transfer exercise in the form of detailed case discussions, which are of extensive use for both undergraduate and postgraduates. One more uniqueness of this book is the discussion on intensive care unit (ICU) rounds, postoperative ward rounds, examination of a sexual assault victim, cardiac disease in pregnancy discussed by both cardiologist and the obstetrician, some frequently encountered issues like vulval hematoma, fever in pregnancy, role of bedside ultrasound in obstetrics, discussion on invasive fetal procedures, etc.…
