Gamble, J. S. size: 14 cm x 22 cm weight: 1.00 kg (ISBN : 81-7089-283-X) SUMMARY The book presents the detailed account of the growth, distribution and uses of trees and shrubs of India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The complete area has been divided into the forest regions on the basis of the geographical positions and the edapho-climatic conditions. The main species found in these regions have also been mentioned according to their family with their botanical review with special emphasis on the wood anatomy of the timber yielding trees to impart the knowledge of the character, structure and other peculiarities. The comparative account of the species of various genera of the family has also been given. The description of the species deals with the detailed aspects and generalized wood structure of the corresponding family to which it belongs. The description covers the size and appearance of the tree; evergreen or deciduous; mode of branching and the nature of the bark. Infrastructure of the information about the wood covers both, the heartwood and sap wood along with its morphological and anatomical aspects. The book also presents briefly the area of use of the species. Detailed illustrations have also been supplemented by the index on the basis of European, scientific and vernacular names to facilitate the literature search on their basis. |

Dr. A. S. Mallick NEW (A Practical Manual) 295.00 (Pub. 2009) pp.viii+55 size: 14 cm x 22 cm (ISBN: 81-7089-360-7) SUMMARY There
is an urgent world – wide need to raise the production of wood in future
through afforestation schemes. This need can efficiently be
achieved on any given site, besides other factors, through the correct
choice of species, improved seed source and specific silvicultural
treatments. This is what precisely may be termed as ‘tree
improvement’. Thus, in other words, without tree improvement, forestry
can never come close to reaching the goal of optimum production and
productivity.
Most of the world’s current planting programmes in forestry
domain are still based on plants raised from seeds which are collected
from unselected populations. Nevertheless, now there is a increasing trend
towards the use of phenotypically superior stocks as seed sources. Under the present scenario globally achieving “green revolution” in forests tree improvement seems to be inevitable. This manual which has been prepared for B. Sc (forestry) and M. Sc. (forestry) students, shows the practical methods in tree improvement. We hope the exercise will prove a great boon for students of forestry and the budding foresters, who are engaged in practical tree improvement in the field. The manual provides only the practical related exercises and the theoretical knowledge can be grasped in theoretical classes and books. |

Gopikumar, K.Gopakumar,S.,and
Anoop E.V. (ISBN: 81-7089-301-1) SUMMARY Now a days there is increasing awareness among people about the role played by trees in controlling most of the environmental issues. Unfortunately, unlike agriculture or horticulture, raising of tree seedlings and plantations pose various problems mainly due to the lack of knowledge and expertise about the production of planting materials and its post planting management techniques. Although there is now a broad recognition of the need for tree plantations in various regions of the country, the non availability of suitable planting stock of good quality in fairly large quantities and good qualities is the biggest snag in executing planting programme. It is well established that growth and survival of seedlings are functions of initial vigour, growth rate and resistance to environmental stresses, pests and diseases. In order to maximize the success towards the final product, it is essential to raise seedlings in nurseries with proper care and management. A thorough and scientific knowledge of various aspects of raising tree seedlings of commercial forest tree species in the nursery and its management strategies in the main field after planting is very essential for a viable afforestation programme. At present the information about the nursery aspects and management strategies of various tree species are not available in a comprehensive manner. The purpose of this book is to consolidate and compile all available information under one cover “Forest nursery and Tree husbandry”, which will serve as a ready reckoner for seedling producers, nursery men and all others engaged in forestry programme. This book covers all scientific aspects related to nursery, cultural and management techniques of all hard wood and soft wood tree species. This book is written lucidly by the experts in this field at College of Forestry, Kerala Agricultural University,Vellanikkara without detracting from the thoroughness of the scientific content and comprehension. Management prescriptions of all the tree species are very authentic and informative. This book will be extremely useful to teachers, researchers, students, practicing foresters and farmers who are engaged in forestry or tree husbandry programme. |

Gupta H. K. (IFS) Joint Forest Management (JFM) is now a principal forest management strategy in India. The government views JFM as a pivotal strategy for addressing the national policy goal of achieving 33% forest cover by 2012. JFM represents one model of community based forestry in which the State engages with communities with forestry. Though the current JFM model is weighted in favour of state forest department control over planning, management, investment, harvesting and marketing. This book is an attempt to understand the evolution and introduction of the JFM principles and concepts of JFM. The combine influence of historical, social, economic, cultural and ecological factors along - with policy impacts in people's participation in managing forest is illustrated by taking case of North West Himalayas. Over the past several decades, the focus in forestry has shifted towards forest protection and conservation and JFM represents a key policy thrusts in India. JFM is continued to be evolved as the experiences from different states across India are informing the process of JFM implementation so that policy and guidelines to improve the program are revised by the central and state governments regularly. The process approach is being followed so that forests are managed sustainably with people's involvement in forestry programmes to improve the livelihoods of forest dependent people's and reduced poverty. The studies have demonstrated that the potential economic benefits from improved forest productivity and policy reforms in favour of JFM are huge, both for people and government. |

Sudhanshu, (I. F. S.) Intellectual Property Rights and Conservation of Forest Resources Rs. 1500.00 (Pub. 2005), pp. 400. size: 19 cm x 25 cm weight: 1.00 kg (ISBN: 81-7089-327-5) SUMMARY The fruits of human creativity are linked to Intellectual property and are integral to the progress of human kind, an indispensable element in economic development in present global environment. Intellectual property plays an important role in an increasingly broad range of areas, ranging from the Internet, biotechnology, forests, agriculture, health care and nearly all aspects of science and technology. At present, there is a sharp contrast between the wide spread international recognition of biotechnology’s benefits and the apprehensions about its possible dangers to ecology. The Book ‘Intellectual Property Rights and Conservation of Forest Resources’ provides information on international perspective of important issues in the field of patenting. The book examines international agreements, as well as national laws on the Intellectual Property Rights. The book makes readers aware of historical developments associated with IPR and requirements of IPR relating to ‘spatial information or any geo-data’. The case study on ‘computerized application for determining vulnerability of species in wild’, throws new dimension to determining vulnerability of species. The author, Dr Sudhanshu Gupta, has demonstrated computerized application for determining vulnerability of species in wild and has defined vulnerability of species based on statistically determined probable mathematical estimates. It is a book many people, may like to read to gain new depth and meaning to IPR related resources and their vulnerability. |
