Contouring human development : methods and applications using an Indian District as case study / Mukunda Mishra, Soumendu Chatterjee.
This book acquaints readers with a range of techniques to help them effectively identify, record, map, analyze and report on patterns in various dimensions of human development (HD) with spatial scales down to the village level. It is impossible to capture HD at the local and global scale with only...
