In Plants and Society Prof. NS Rangaswamy presents under one title a coherent account of the most wildly scattered knowledge on the incredible variety of plant materials, plant poisons and drugs, and plant products and produce that have been used in committing or solving crimes, with historical, global, national, sociological, medical, economical, biological, legal and religious perspectives. Besides criminal abortion, foeticide, infanticide, homicide and suicide, 15 other crimes are dealt with. Although alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking are personal habits, no civilized society can afford to underestimate the societal/social and health perils wrought by binge drinking and chronic consumption of tobacco, alcoholism and tobacco consumption are rightly dealt with as grave societal crimes, and so are the smuggling and trafficking of plant drugs and other vegetable materials and products that network several nations. Bioterrorism (including agroterrorism) and narcoterrorism are crimes that no country can ignore any longer Addiction to plant narcotics, adulteration of food and other plant commodities, and acts of counterfeiting in which plant materials are directly or indirectly involved have wide range of negative impacts on human society.

Duraiswami. Glossary. Index. The volumes of the Project of History of Science Philosophy and Culture in Indian Civilization aim to discover the central aspects of India's heritage and present them in an interrelated manner. In spite of their unitary look these volumes recognize the difference between the areas of material civilization and those of ideational culture. The Project is not being executed by a single group of thinkers methodologically uniform or ideologically identical in their commitments. Rather contributions are made by different scholars of diverse ideological persuasions and methodological approaches. The Project is marked by what may be called methodological pluralism. In spite of its primarily historical character this project both in its conceptualization and execution has been shaped by scholars drawn from different disciplines. It is the first time that an endeavour of such unique and comprehensive character has been undertaken to study critically a major world civilization. Organicism is a less common word it replaces the term vitalism. The 13 Chaptered Life and Organicism offers a blend of conceptual biology and philosophy. Besides elaborating what organicism is the Volume describes the Vasudha eva kutumbakam and the Gaia hypothesis on origin of life the historical biogeography of India how the claims about genetically superior races are baseless how cell division phenomenon is central to organismal biology and the neurobiological basis of ego. Furthermore the book expounds the subject of consciousness as an amalgam of neuroscience philosophy and mysticism traces languages evolution and the roots to knowledge as biological themes highlights the role of microbes in green chemistry and bioterrorism unravels the novel concept of Ayurgenomics (an elegant synthesis of genomics with Ayurveda) narrates the impact of modern biology on agriculture and healthcare systems and how researches on low birth weight babies and several re emerging infections are ushering an era of molecular medicine and aptly extols the motto Think globally and act locally embodied in Atharva Veda. The account on synthetic life and artificial organisms makes one ponder about what characterizes life. Indeed the future of biology lies in understanding the nature and role of several kinds of languages besides genetic code. The Volume is addressed to the educated laity and not just to students or specialists. The sporadic illustrations complement the text. A glossary of technical terms and a detailed index are provided. It is hoped that the Volume would kindle the readers Interest to know more about life and organisms. 396 pp.

Pollen has direct relevance in agriculture, horticulture, plant breeding, crop improvement and biotechnology. They are further of use for montioring cytotoxic effects - by herbicides, pesticides and pollutants - testing for allergic reactions, and for basic studies on gene expression, research on differentiation and polarity. Detailed instructions of the standard techniques, which have all been tested and improvised by the authors, are given, such as collection and storage of pollen, pollen culture, germination, tests for viability, incompatibility and isolation of protoplasts. Introduced by an explanation of the principles involved, the step-by step protocols are complemented by personal notes and precautions, specifying the reagents used and various appendices on basic and specific requirements for laboratory exercises on pollen. 132 pp. Englisch.
