Summary:
Articles on COVID-19 Pandemic along with creative fiction and poetry. "In this volume, we have sought to address two issues: the degradation of the environment and the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the people of our country. It was not our intention to present a scholarly compilation of stories, poems and essays, but to put together a collection of writings that in its variety would hopefully spur thought and discussion."-- p. xi.
