Awareness of environment should be integral to every individual. People must be oriented to safeguard available resources. Sustainable living should be the hallmark of society. Economy and environment are linked to each other in four ways, with the environment supplying material and energy resource inputs, waste assimilative capacity, amenity, educational and spiritual values, and global life support services to the economic process. These interlink-ages are dynamic in that they are continually changing. It is difficult to estimate the desirable and undesirable effects of any activity, which alters the environment. In an age of fast material changes, pollution is an unavoidable result. History has shown that societies pollute first and pay later. The book Ecological Economics: The Science and Management of Sustainability is an in-depth analysis of environment and economy. An attempt has been made to discuss development and the environmental crisis, in general, and its impact on sustainable World, society and international economy. The book will generate greater interest among students of Economics, Geography, Commerce and Management, researchers, policy makers, and public analysts in finding some practical answers to the nature and discussions and above all the main components of environmental degradation and sustainable development.
