S. Dasgupta, D. Debnath COMMUNITY
FOREST MANAGEMENT IN TRIBAL STATES OF INDIA (With Special reference to Madhya Pradesh) NEW Rs. 795.00 pp. 236 HARD
COVER (ISBN No.: 81-7089-346-1) About the book The
1990s decade brought about some revolutionary change in the community management
and development as the people’s participation becomes an important goal in
managing natural resources efficiently, sustainably and equitably. The
Government initiative in policy making and issuing resolutions were welcomed,
which made an impetus for the
participatory process by the State Forest Departments, Civil Society
Organizations, Research institutions and so on. Madhya Pradesh is well-known
state for its natural forests (‘Tiger’ state) and indigenous peoples
(‘Tribal’ state). The State Forest Department followed the National
Guidelines and commenced their activities in 1991 forming the village
institution in Harda, which was later transformed in to Joint Forest Management
(JFM) model .In this state largest number of JFM committees have been formed on
the basis of forest canopy and resource degradation. In their holistic attempts
the protected area management has been part and parcel of the JFM programme.
There are number of novelties in their planning and implementation. These are
micro-planning, participatory silvi-cultural options, respecting people’s
knowledge, man-power planning , revolving fund,
equitable sharing, gender unification and so on. There were
establishments of Eco-centres and Extension centres in number of places for
awareness development, skill development for
livelihoods, capacity building in managing the village organization, attitudinal
changes of forest officials and villagers, dissemination of information for
progress and development. The M.P.Forestry Project is another land-mark for
boosting the efforts for achieving the common property resources situation. The
whole process of JFM programme has been thoroughly discussed in sequences in
this book by an academician and a forest administrator. |

Donnelly, D. J. &
Vidaver, W.E. size: 18 cm x 26 cm weight: 0.500 kg (ISBN: 81-7089-119-1) SUMMARY This glossary has been prepared to serve as a comprehensive guide for interpreting the current literature pertaining to plant cell and tissue culture. It is intended to supplement rather than supercede prior technical publications such as plant propagation by tissue culture (George and Sherrington, 1984) or handbook of plant cell culture [Evans et.al.,1993] and to complement to rather than replace the glossary in in vitro 20: 19-24 (Tissue culture association terminology committee,1984). The terms included in the glossary have been selected by examinations of text books, Journals and glossaries dealing entirely or in part with plant tissue culture or related fields. References consulted during preparation of the manuscript are listed under “Sources” on pp 139-141. Each entry is listed alphabetically, in bold faced type, at the point in the text where it is defined. The more common derivatives of a term are also given in bold faced type. Multi-sense entries are separated by numbers(1,2 etc.). Some common English terms which have particular meanings in plant tissue culture, such as “sterilize” are defined in the text. Commonly used chemicals are listed alphabetically by their chemical names followed by their abbreviation , chemical formulae and atomic and molecular weights. |

Tree Imporvement and seed Technology (Pub. 2009) pp.xiv+302 size: 15 cm x 23 cm weight: 1.300 kg (ISBN – 81-7089-355-0 SUMMARY Forest Tree Improvement and seed Technology are relatively neglected subjects as compared to forest management in general. Importance of forest improvement and seed technology has become important in recent years as forests have a significant role in maintaining climatic balance and conservation of biodiversity. The impending climate change may have a catastrophic effect on the ecological health of planet earth and may imperil the survival of life itself. This book is a modest effort in bringing out fundamental scientific information on forest tree improvement and forest seed science and technology in one compilation and therefore may prove useful to the researchers ad students of forestry. |

Dutta, M.
pub-2009, pp.132+x size: 14cm x 22cm weight: 0.200 kg (ISBN:) SUMMARY Symbiotic nitrogen fixation has special significance from the point of view of sustainable agriculture, as it contributes towards a pollution free environment, which is the crying need of the hour due to the threat of impending climate change. Efforts on breeding for improved nitrogen fixation in grain legumes is an extremely rare subject. This book on 'Breeding for Enhanced Nitrogen Fixation in Groundnut' fulfills the long felt need in this important but hitherto neglected area. The book is a pioneering study on this rare subject and brings out strategic findings derived from authentic field studies conducted over several years in an international research institute. The book will not only be catering to the needs of researchers and policy makers but students of nitrogen fixation as well. |

In Press SUMMARY Symbiotic nitrogen fixation has been long considered to be an indispensable component of sustainable agriculture. The mounting cost and restricted availability of chemical nitrogen fertilizer coupled with the adverse ecological problems arising from its continuous and indiscriminate use has made nitrogen fixation research indispensable for developing countries' agriculture. The effectiveness of symbiotic nitrogen fixation is governed by the host gene, the Rhizobium gene and the above ground and below ground environmental factors making it an extremely complex phenomenon. The reported variability in the host genotype, the Rhizobium strain and their interaction suggests that they are amenable for selection. Breeding for enhanced nitrogen fixation in legumes has been fairly a recent phenomenon. There have been some isolated attempts in clover, alfalfa and beans where nitrogen fixation has been enhanced through host selection. However, concerted efforts to understand this complex phenomenon have been lacking. More information is required on the quantitative genetic aspects of nitrogen fixation and a planned breeding strategy to evolve productive genotypes combining high N2 fixing capacity and other desirable attributes. The present book embodies empirical results on groundnut conducted in an international institute in an effort to understand the role of photosynthetic assimilate supply on nitrogen fixation and to breed for productive genotypes combining high N2 fixation in groundnut under both N-limiting and N-abundant conditions. The book also deals with the genetic aspects of non-nodulation and the nature of gene action controlling N2 fixation in groundnut with a view to plan effective breeding strategies. The book is a pioneering attempt in breeding for increased N2 fixation in groundnut and may prove to be guiding source for more such attempts in other legumes. |

NEW size: 19 cm x 25 cm weight: 1.00 kg (ISBN: 81-7089-197-3) SUMMARY The non- wood forest products are of immense importance of the mankind. With industrialisation and urbanisation, timber and firewood can be substituted by other materials but there are still a large number of non-wood forest products for which no synthetic substitutes are available. There is an environmental and ecological angle associated with the harvesting of wood products. There are much less environmental issues associated with the harvesting of non-wood forest products. The non-wood forest products provide considerable employment and income to the rural poor and particularly to tribals. A large number of produce are exported outside and earn valuable foreign exchange. This book “Forests: the non-wood resources “ deals with various kinds of non-wood forest products and their management. The dependence of tribals on non-wood forest products and the role of forest on their socio-economic fabric is also highlighted. |
