520			_aThis volume titled, Facets of Urban Society in India: Processes, Problems and Development' meets a long standing demand to have a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary treatment of urban processes, problems and development. The major focus is on the divergent urban problems-their nature, gravity, intensity and dimensions. The other two are also given their due importance. Gender Problems in Urban Society are discussed in a separate section. Other urban problems like environmental pollution, transport and traffic problems, health problems, different problems in slums, urban crime, suicide, rights' violation, street children and child workers are all given fair treatment. All the articles are written by eminent academics from different disciplines like sociology, anthropology, social work, economics, psychology, political science, women's studies, population studies, education and adult education, and human rights. The authors arrive at significant observations and inferences which are quite pertinent to the present-day urban India. The book will be valuable not only to the academics from the above disciplines but also to geographers, urban and administrators.
