Reviews
Kaushik Deb, Columbia University:
Urpelainen provides a social and historical context for the development of India’s environment and energy policy since independence. Not many books do this in an approachable manner, and hence Energy and Environment in India is a welcome intervention. The book convincingly makes the case that meeting India’s growing energy needs sustainably is central to maintaining the global carbon budget.
