The book’s arrangement is simple for students to understand because they have seen personally how the course’s contents are changed when teaching the same subject. This book on Ecology and Environmental studies is very useful for students studying for all undergraduate usually given some basic courses in preparation for competitive examinations and various degree-level examinations syllabus framed by UGC and also other University curricula in Science, Engineering, Technology, Commerce, Management, Pharmacy, Arts, etc. This will be a useful guide for various competitive examinations such as Police Recruitment, Indian Post, Banks, and other competitive examinations in various states. The book will be valuable to a large number of students and teachers, as well as industries, which will eventually prove to be important sources of pollution.
