"Anthropecology," the descipline dealing with the human interference in nature and ecology is a burning issue, through out the globe. The present era of economics has surpassed the importance of ecology, due to this greedy social development the complete system of earth is in trouble. It has been a matter of concern for all the branches of science, humanities as well as law. The view and the ways of sustainable development instead of simoly development has been suggested through this volume. Biodiversity is another important subject importance in discussions. The applied aspect of biodiversity has been dealt. Threat to biodiversity and conservation of biodiversity, through multifacial approach has been suggested. This book is an effort to bring together certain anthropecological issue in amalgamation with the applied aspect of biodiversity. The book "Anthropecology and Applied Biodiversity" comprises of sixten chapters authored by renowned experts of their subject. This book can be useful for researchers, academicians and the scholar from the subject of botany, zoology, environmental sciences, developmental studies, particularly to those who think with difference.
The book, "Lake and Groundwater: Phytoremedial Aspect" is an out come of the direct field work done in Gorakhpur, a prominent city of India. Being a tropical city, the district Gorakhpur is also among the wet-land belts of India, locally called as Tarai Belt. As a result the water table is higher and also the city is rich in large water bodies. The field study consisted of the survey and analysis of groundwater and the quality analysis of the water in Rangarh lake, a prominent water body in the heart of the city. The macrophytic diversity of the lake has also been evaluated. Finally, the polluted water of the lake as well as that of the groundwater was subjected to phytoremediation. The findings have been documented by the means of thirteen chapters. The book is useful tool for all the scientists, research scholars and the field workers who are directly or indirectly involved in the field research regarding the water pollution and its remediation and also for those who are involved in the study of lentic system biodiversity. The book is also recommended to be must for the libraries of all the research organisations, Universities and the NGOs involved in the subject.
The book "Biotic Potential and the Abiotic Stress" provides a comprehensive and critical review of the work done on different thrust areas of the subject, by the experts in their field. This is must for all libraries, as the book is useful for scholars, scientists and academicians working in the field of nature, environmental pollution, traditional knowledge of plant resources, etc. etc. The book contains twenty eight chapters, which include information on the detail investigations of the plant diversity of Dewghat forest Koraon range in India; the study of Azadirachta indica Seed Kernel water extract on Growth, Biochemical composition and nitrogen metabolism enzymes of Anabaena oryzae, response of biomass, primary productivity and fruit yield species diversity under the influence of gaseous emission; potential of Azolla in chromium removal from tannery effluents; inclusion of organically grown Spirulina platensis as probiotic supplement in idli; Stress physiology of certain plants; dhokla and beverage in the daily diet of children; potential and prospects of Stevia rebaudiana and many more. It also highlights some legal and economics issues related to the subject of environmrnt.
Water originated life, it protected life from harmful radiations, when ozone layer was not formed and also water sustains life. Thus, water can be used as synonyms of "Tridev," i.e. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Rapid momentum of progress and industrialisation has ruined the sirface water, which is just a fraction of one percent of the total water. Similar situation is prevailing in nearly all the rivers globally. River Ami, in Gorakhpur India receives effluent and waste from many large and small industries. The river has vast coverage area. Therefore, it also affects the ground water quality in addition to the agricultural produce. The book embodies results of investigation carried out of above aspects as a part of doctoral work, at DDU Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur in India. The overall study has been divided into ten chapters, including the possible remedial measures and surplus bibliography. The book is useful for the scientists, academicians and all those interested in the environmental issues. This study can also be useful to the scholars for conducting the comparative study of the rivers. The book also alarms against the experiments with the nature, as conducted practically.
Our Earth supports about 10 million species of plants and animals, which have been the result of 3 billion years of evolution involving mutation, recombination and natural selection. The book "Environment and Biodiversity" provides a comprehensive and critical review of the work done on different areas of the subject. The book contains eight chapters, which include information on the detail investigations of the biodiversity of Sunderbans; biodiversity and bio-functional use of aquatic weeds; Study of wild legumes for sustainable plant productivity; comprehensive account or water pollution, especially river pollution; Use of higher plants for the control of the plant diseases; Use of botanical tools for the post-harvest management of the fruits; Cyanobacterial toxins, their ecology, health hazards and management. Different issues regarding the benefits and application of the biodiversity in different aspect of life has been explored. Important factors responsible for deteriorating the environment quality have been highlighted. Negligence of the environmental issues even by the government machinery has been pointed out.
