Assam, a state in the north-eastern region of India, is a unique geographical entity presenting a rich physical and cultural diversity. The natural landscape of the state is, however, changing fast with the growth of industrialization and urbanization, and especially the ever increasing inflow of people from within and outside the country. The state thus has assumed immense geographical significance needing careful study and research. This book covering almost all aspects of nature and culture is really a commendable contribution towards understanding the regional personality of Assam. Definitely this book will cater to the long-standing needs of not only the students and teachers of geography, but also those interested in environment, society and economy of the state.
