Environmental Problems in Coastal Regions VII
This book contains most of the papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Environmental Problems in Coastal Regions .

The Routledge Handbook of Craft and Sustainability in India

Meanwhile, there is a call to action from different factions to protect, revive and reinvent craft, because the inherent sustainability of the systems that underpin it are essential for the sustainability of India and her people. Against this backdrop, this book examines the cu...

Mandatory quarantine restricted labor mobility and workplace closure, which later converted into supply shocks in the economy, as these measures impaired the economy’s production capacity, disrupting supplies. This later spilled over to the demand side as people...
