This book is mainly dealing with the impact evaluation of watershed management programmes in different rainfed AERs of India. The book is divided into the chapters viz; introduction, background information, methodology, findings, SWOT analysis, lessons learnt, and summary & recommendations. Various Bio-physical and Socio-economic indicators were taken into consideration while evaluating the watersheds implemented through different agencies like, NWDPRA, MoRD, ICAR/SAUs, International Donors and NGOs in the country. The book will be useful for the policy makers, planners, researchers, extension workers and students involved in sustainable management of watersheds and their evaluation.

The book deals with the strategies followed for planning, implementation, monitoring & evaluation and maintenance of structures etc for integrated management of watersheds in different rain fed agro-ecological regions in India. Various agencies involved in execution of watersheds like NWDPRA, MoRD, ICAR/SAUs, International Donors and NGOs were taken into consideration to study the successes and failures of watershed management programme in rehabilitation of arable and non-arable lands particularly in rain fed areas on sustainable basis through participatory watershed approach. SWOT analysis was also done in case of selected watersheds. This book will be of immense help to all those who are actively involved in watershed management programme. The policy makers, planners, researchers, soil conservationists, extension workers, progressive farmers and students associated with management of natural resources will also be benefited.

This book gives a comprehensive account of all trees, shrubs & woody climbers found wild and or naturalized in the area dealt with. The author has also given distinction for identification between shrubs and under shrubs which become under favourable conditions remain herbaceous. 
In this edition the author has included several species either discovered between 1915 & 1920 or collected in the Punjab for the first time during last period. The author has divided the area of Punjab conveniently to study the area each of which has a characteristic type of vegetation: (I) The plain (ii) The salt range (iii) The Sub-Himalayan tract and (iv) The Himalayas.

The fungi constitute second largest group of organisms in the world after insects. With the liberalization of import and export of large quantities of agricultural, horticultural and forest tree material, the risk of spread of fungal as well as other pathogens into new areas has also increased. The current level of ignorance of most microbe groups has major implications for Biodiversity conservation, sustainable use and their management. Understanding the potential of natural resources of Northwest Himalayas, the Mycoflora data pertaining to ecosystem maintenance is given in the present book. In this book, fungal genera and species reported from Himachal Pradesh have been listed in alphabetical order. Each genus is followed by the subdivision and class from which it belongs. The locality from where the species have been recorded has also been mentioned. In this monograph 1,856 fungal species belonging to 531 genera have been recorded on 786 hosts and substrata in the State. The present volume Mycoflora of North West Himalayas: Himachal Pradesh reveals the extent of fungal species reported from this region with the obvious conclusion that further surveys and search will pay rich dividends.

India is one of the 18 mega biodiversity countries and contains 2 hotspots such as Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas. In Western Ghats, the Nilgiris is considered to be the repository of genetic stock of wild plants and animals. By recognizing the importance of the bioresources, the Nilgiris is declared as Biosphere Reserve in the year, 1986 for the effective conservation of natural wealth. The in situ conservation measures adopted through intensive habitat protection in this region enhances the population of many such bioresources at considerable level. The shola forests, a unique type of vegetation available in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve gained much with respect to species diversity by the effective in situ conservation measures followed. Besides the trees, the understories of sholas are characterized by the presence of high species richness which indeed includes many economically important plants. This book on "Medicinal and other Economic plants of shola understories, the Nilgiris, Western Ghats" deals with the origin, distribution, development and importance of sholas, parts used for economic purpose, mode of utilization, need of conservation of shola species in particular and cultivation possibility of species which need conservation. All the species of economic importance are nicely illustrated with clear photographs. It is our fervent hope that the P. G. students of Botany and Research Scholars in the area of medicinal plants, workers in the Biosphere Reserve areas, forest administrators would find the book very useful. 

Introduction to crop growth modelling; Assimilation and Dissimilation of carbon; Morphological Development and Assimilate partitioning; Transpiration and water uptake; Soil Water balance; Weather
data; Listing of modules.

This book provides a useful tools for those actively engaged in watershed development in the third world as well as essential information for those interested in the articulation of environmental concerns and the human uses of natural resources.

The general purpose of energy forestry research is to contribute to the investigation on how to find renewable energy sources in order to reduce the use of the fossil fuels and to replace nuclear power. The specific aim of this book is to present different simulation models on growth and water conditions in short energy rotation energy forestry: it contains two models of forest growth, three models of water relations, the soil plant atmosphere system, and one model of the economic potential of energy forestry. The production simulated by the growth models is related to weather conditions, physiological characteristics of the plant, and the nitrogen available to it. The water models, describing transpiration, evaporation and soil water balance, contain those out put variables that directly influence the growth.

This book deals an essential aspect of crop management in identification of deficiencies of plant nutrients and their diagnostic methods. The book provides soil and tissue analysis standards critical in plant nutrition.

Dr. Anna Powar is an Indian who has formed her ideas, beliefs and practice by living and working in many different cultures - the US, Turkey, most of Europe and Africa.
"Health and Nutrition" starts with a fast overview of how life evolved on earth from the first unicellular organisms up to the most complex multi cellular organism of all: the human being.
In Part I dr. Powar takes us through the biochemical 
complexities of enzymes, co-enzymes, the Krebs Cycle, hormones and the DNA blueprint, by talking about buses, bus lines, ring roads, traffic jams, and road maintenance. All the various vitamins are explained using these catchy metaphores. 
Part II of "Health & Nutrition" illustrates the problems posed by various "nocuous agents", such as pollution, microorganisms and fast changing life styles. In this context, Minerals, Vitamins, Antioxidants are not "supplements" but vital players in the maintenance of health.Ever since human beings evolved into oxygen-burning creatures, the urgent question was how to get oxygen where it is needed & how to protect the body from the damages oxygen produces (i.e. free radicals/antioxidants). This has led medical science to re-evaluate the traditional knowledge of various peoples who have developed their own distinctive "antioxidants'. Ideally, the last part of dr. Powar's "Health & Nutrition" is devoted to the spiritual aspects of the maintenance of health. Dr. Powar lays emphasis on striving to always keep in balance body, mind and spirit. Integrating the newer disciplines such as psychoanalysis, the older practices of yoga and meditation with sound nutrition, is a vital challenge which a contemporary nutritionist must accept in the interest of our fellow human beings.

The recent resurgence of interest in medicinal plants investigation is adequately supported by the material set forth in this book which presents the proceedings of a conference, held with the support of various organizations, such as, DRDA, DST, CSIR and MAPCOST. The diverse mix of contribution in 50 chapters highlights the interdisciplinary nature of enthusiasm it is generating in medicinal plants.
