1. State of India’s Environment 2018 (SOE 2018)

This annual publication that will hit the stands in January 2018 has been the reading habit for those who care about the country’s environment and development discourse, ever since the first annual issue came out in 2014.   

The book features carefully curated content by India’s key development and environment experts besides some of the leading thinkers, academics, researchers and activists.  It has essays, in-depth reportage, topical data & trends and debates around some of the leading environment and development challenges facing the country.

It analyses key developments of the previous year while flagging off potential ones in the coming year. It equips you with perspectives while alerting you to the future.  A “must buy” for those who care for their environment and are curious about the future.

Some of the major issues covered include Water, Climate Change, Energy Security, Food & Toxins and industry-environment interface.

It will be a collector’s item giving you the whole year’s highlights in one place. Its analysis is backed by more than 30 years of in-depth research and reportage experience of our Down To Earth magazine and the Centre for Science and Environment.

Students preparing for IAS and other competitive exams will also greatly benefit from this book.  

This Annual Issue will have 11 Chapters and more than 30 articles spread over 200+ pages.  It also carries an exclusive 30-page section on key data and trends related to environment and development, which you won’t find anywhere else.

2. BODY BURDEN: Lifestyle Diseases

Lifestyle diseases or non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for more than 61 per cent of all deaths in India.

Whether it is heart diseases, respiratory illnesses, cancer, obesity or food allergies, emerging research reveals that the rise in their incidences is due to environmental factors—rapid urbanisation, air pollution and changes in diet—rather than your genes.

These diseases result in huge economic losses. In 2015, this amounted to US$237 billion for India. Body Burden: Lifestyle Diseases, captures the finer points of what latest research and surveys have to offer and presents the views of subject specialists. More importantly, it details pathways that we need to adopt to reverse this trend, including what you as an individual can do to guard yourself against these diseases.
