Wilhelm, Z., & Zagyi, N. (2016). An essential synopsis of a prominent scholarly life-work. [Review of the volume Geography, Development, Public Policy: Select Essays of Gopal Krishan, edited by S. Kant & N. Singh]. Modern Geográfia, 11(1), 1–2.
This volume of essays and studies, an outcome of maticulous editorial work, provides a succinct summary of Gopal Krishan’s scientific life-work up till now. Although the primary apropos of its publication was obviously a deep bow to one of the most honourable Indian geographers entering his seventy-fifth year, but it was also an exemplary aim to collect together a relatively considerable part of the author’s writings, published dispersedly earlier. The professional accomplishment of the volume can be apprehended exactly by the latter circumstance, namely making a conceptual selection of Professor Krishan’s extensive oeuvre. The editors have picked up the thirty-two essays or about one-fourth of total one hundred and thirty reserach pieces in such a way that they represent comprehensively the output of the author’s last four decades long life-work and the evolvement of his learned experiences.
