The first edition of Fundamentals of Cartography was published in 1969 by Prasaranga, University of Mysore. It was reprinted by the Concept Publishing Company, New Delhi in …… While the book remained in currency, the cartographic processes changed drastically when information technology brought a sea of change in the sources of information, drafting of maps and printing processes. Drawing maps by hand became obsolete; surveying whether ground or aerial was no longer the only major source of information. In view of these changes, it became necessary to bring out a new edition. Realising that unless one knows directions, scales, projections, coordinates, ground and air surveys one would fail to understand the proper use of modern information technology in the drawing the maps. Thus the contents of 1969 edition are retained and new chapters have been added to update the book. In Part II of the book, a chapter on Remote Sensing and Satellite Imageries has been added and Part V contains chapters on Computer Aided Cartography, Geographic Information System (GIS), Land Information System (LIS), and Global Positioning System (GPS).

This book examines the relationship between natural resource management, sustainable development, and governance with case studies from India and other places covering disaster risk reduction, conflict resolution, capacity building, climate change adaptation and resilience, citizen engagement and ecological conservation. Though the studies focus mostly on cases in India, the volume discusses how governance can be employed to help develop and implement sustainable practices globally through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Readers will learn how to integrate concepts of resource management, sustainable development, and governance to improve human resilience to global environmental change, and to assess the proper development approaches to assist economically stressed and resource-deprived individuals. The book will be of use to graduate students and academics, policy makers, planners, and nonprofits.

The Five Volume Series on 'Regional Development: Theory and Practice' is a festschrift dedicated to Professor R.P. Misra, a distinguished scholar, widely recognized as one of the pioneers who initiated and promoted Regional Planning studies in India. This five-volume series, with over one hundred research papers on different aspects of regional development, is a fitting tribute to the scholar who spent much of his life time thinking, researching and writing about development in general and regional development in particular. These five volumes, each dealing with a specific aspect of regional development, Vol. 1 Concept of Regional Development, Vol. 2 Measuring Development, Vol. 3 Development Patterns and Structures, Vol. 4 Development Policies, and Vol. 5 Development Challenges Each of the five volumes begins with an introduction, which is unique in the sense that this is not merely an introduction to the contributions contained in the volume but also talks of the theory of regional development, contemporary development in the discipline and the contrarian views expressed by various academics and policy-makers. Another significant aspect of these introductions is the global view and a comparative scenario of the developed, developing and under-developed economies of the world, that the editors have kept in view, in a debate seeking an universal theory of regional development. Regions are specifics and often unique and “regional development implies focusing on the assets of the territory, its potential and constraints”.

The third edition of Maps and Civilization incorporates numerous revisions, features new material throughout the book, and includes a new alphabetized bibliography. Praise for previous editions of Maps and Civilization: “A marvelous compendium of map lore.

The Western perception of India has varied widely since antiquity. Early Egyptians and Babylonians had a vague idea about the region; Greeks on the other hand were more aware; geographical perspectives and perceptions changed rapidly; science of cartography swiftly advanced; means of collecting empirical carto-geographical data multiplied rapidly; map-makers were kept busy. Many inaccuracies or fallacies crept in the early stages of map-making, some inevitable, others not so. Map-makers carried on with these inaccuracies not for years or decades, but for centuries. In one map the author was surprised to see that a river Ganga' shown flowing in the south-central region of India, and falling into the Bay of Bengal in Orissa. This river was south-west of the great delta of the real Ganga or Ganges, coming from the north-west in Bengal, called Bengala in the map. Two Gangas or Ganges in one map! And this in the map by a well-known map-maker of the time. This was one of the reasons for the author's quest for early geographical literature to find out the reasons behind showing Ganga in peninsular India, and the perpetuation of the fallacy for centuries by other respected cartographers as well. This important volume would go a long way in deciphering the mystery and fascination the Indian subcontinent, especially the holy river Ganga has held for cartographers from time immemorial.
