The Role of Science in the Development of Natural Resources with Particular Reference to Pakistan, Iran and Turkey : A Symposium Held Under the Auspices of the CENTO Scientific Council, Lahore, January, 1962

The Role of Science in the Development of Natural Resources with Particular Reference to Pakistan, Iran and Turkey is a collection of papers that details issues in power and energy, water resources, forestry and land, agriculture, animal health, and public health. The materials analyze the problems in natural resource from different scientific perspectives. The text first coves the place of research in developing countries, and then proceeds to tackling concerns in fuel, power, and atomic energy. Next, the selection talks about the development of water resources. The next sections of the text deal with forestry and agriculture. The selection also covers concerns in animal and public health. The book will be of great interest to individuals concerned with the condition of world's natural resource reserves.
