Book review
Since the publication of the book Envisioning Our Environmental Future: Stockholm+50 and Beyond, the Asian Journal of International Law published a complimentary book review on the publication, by JHA Anupam, explaining “the audacious task to engage in the stocktaking of the fifty years journey of the Stockholm conference.” And “hence, the meticulous scholarly terrain mapping undertaken by Professor Bharat H. Desai through the lens of outstanding global thoughts leaders, encapsulated in twenty two chapters of the book under review, needs to be applauded. As reflected in the wider horizons of the editor’s scholarly trajectory, the book nudges the decision-makers of the world to “arise, awake and not stop until the goal is reached… to avert the existential planetary crisis”. Significantly, the editor has drawn contributions from thought leaders from all parts of the world.”
In regards to the ideal audience for this publication, Anupam exclaims “it provides formidable tools for governmental leaders, policymakers, the United Nations system, environmental activists, and members of civil society. The book would serve as a scholarly reference book for teaching and research in the field of international environmental lay, and the editor deserves rich encomiums for this contribution to the global knowledge pool. ”
