Due to the prohibitive cost of synthetic pesticides and the
problems of environmental pollution caused by continuous use of
these chemicals, there is a renewed interest in the use of
botanicals for crop protection. Agricultural entomologists,
nematologists, and pathologists the world over are now actively
engaged in research into the use of plants to fight agricultural
pests and diseases, and to reduce the losses caused by them.
Botanical Pesticides in Agriculture reviews the research on
botanical pesticides used to combat losses due to pests of
agricultural importance, with special attention focused on the use
of higher plants. This book will serve as the baseline reference
work for future research, and many of the botanicals discussed,
such as neem, bael, begonia, pyrethrum, tobacco, karanj, and
mahuwa, may become integral parts of pest control programs
currently being developed. It is believed that botanical pesticides
will minimize the undesirable side effects of synthetic pesticides
and help preserve the environment for future generations.
Book describes the basic techniques that are used in molecular
biology. These techniques includes various DNA manipulation
techniques, cloning and bacterial growth. This book also describes
the Green Fluorescent Gene, one of the novel achievements in the
field of science. The reason for writing this book is that in our
graduation and post graduation we heard about various molecular
biology techniques but we know very little about these techniques.
And even we know the techniques we are not much aware about the
principle and the protocols of the techniques. I am writing this
book for the graduate and post graduate students who want to know
basic molecular techniques and also their protocols so that they
can use it in their laboratory doing their work. Many researchers
can also get help from this book.
Every year for the past few decades during the Southern Hemisphere
spring, chemicals southern polar region to be destroyed rapidly and
severely. Due to depletion of Ozone UV-R reaches on the earth.
Solar UV-R has been divided into UV-A(320-400nm), UV-B(290-320) and
UV-C(100-290) regions. UV-B has the more energetic radiation and is
more strongly absorbed by the day time to latitude, thickness of
the atmosphere and the ozone layer altitude and cloud cover. UV-B
radiation is harmful to living organisms and has detrimental effect
on plant growth, development and physiology. Another effect of UV-B
enhancement on plants includes reduction in yield and quality,
alternation in species competition, decrease in photosynthetic
activities, susceptibility to disease and changes in plants
structure and pigmentation. Some species show sensitivity to
present level of UV-B radiation while other are apparently
unaffected by rather massive UV enhancements.
The book titled 'Understanding Play Therapy' is a quite good and
handy literature for learning, teaching and practicing play therapy
on children, adolescents, adults as well as persons with special
needs. It provides good information in relation to historical
foundation upto current status of play therapy. The students,
interns and qualified professionals of clinical psychology, child
psychology and developmental psychology and other health
professionals of pediatrics can use this book as a good source of
learning play therapy and its applications in health intervention
as well as non-clinical behavioural problems. In addition, the book
also includes how parents can be useful and helpful while dealing
with children through play therapy. The author's approach in
presenting the issues related to play therapy is praiseworthy as it
ensures a comprehensive understanding of play therapy for knowledge
and practice.
