My Views - First of all the cover of the book is really pretty and totally apt with the title.The subject of the book is an alarming issue for todays world that is our environment anf how it is degrading day by day as a result of our negligence.The author being a senior officer in many of the administration departments of India,has given his years of experience in writing the book and addressing these sensitive issues.This book also exposes the myth around wealth creation and economic growth.The author also introduced the concept of taxing Goods amd Services based on their carbon and water footprint.This book also gives us an insight of the cultures of Tamilnadu and the beauty of Manipur.
.
A must read and though inducing book.totally recommended.
