Fairly good summary of India, most of it current
17 Oct 2011
Format:Library Binding
This was from a school library. It is a little outdated, 2001, but most of the information is valid. It has great photos of India, enough for a student to find interest in the book and in India. Most of the information is encyclopedic, but also, the author provides quite a bit of information on environmental and physical-social issues in India. The book ends abruptly, with on conclusion, and while the author delves into some of the environmental issues, he mentions the Green Revolution only in terms of how it positively affected the amount of food grown in India. There are two sides to the Green Revolution in India. The other side is that with many farmers borrowing money for highly industrialized machinery and process for farming, it was more than many could handle and led to problems, without getting into details. So, because the book does deal a lot with environmental and related social issues, mention should have been made about the Green Revolution and problems it created for India, in addition to the increase in output.
In any case, I would still recommend the book as a good introduction to India and facts book that provides information on social and population related issues of the country. It is good for students from 4th to up to about the 9th grade.
