We now have a much clearer understanding of the disease, its management and the rehabilitation of patients. But there is still much to be done.

Th is book aims to cover a range of exciting new fi ndings in clinical sciences, basic sciences and allied specialties with an emphasis on their relevance to HNC. Th is work promises to improve preventive and therapeutic strategies and will hopefully culminate in improved outcomes of HNC.

Th e contributions have been made by established leaders in the fi eld and every eff ort has been made to address the issue in a comprehensive, yet concise, manner for the benefi t of readers. We hope that this volume will provide up-to-date information on individual upcomingoutstanding issues in the management of HNC.

We believe that Issues in Head and Neck Cancer will be of value to establishedin-training clinicians, scientists, allied professionals as well as medical students who have inquisitive minds and wish to further enhance their knowledge of HNC. * (less)

Index. "Aquaculture, most simply defined as the rearing or farming or aquatic species under controlled conditions, is a rapidly growing industry, accounting for over one-third of all direct fisheries consumption.

It is an important economic activity in many countries and offers a number of opportunities to contribute to poverty alleviation, employment, community development, the reduction of over-exploitation of natural resources, and food security in tropical and sub-tropical regions. The rapid growth in aquaculture seems set to continue in the near term.

Index. Global population was only one billion in 1800 AD, doubled by 1930 and reached three billion mark by 1960.

However, it took only 39 years to double itself again by 1999, when it reached to six billion mark. It is estimated that by 2100 it will again double itself to twelve billion mark.

Most of the future increase in population will be in developing countries of Asia. Africa and Latin America, where more and more area under agricultural production systems have been developed at the cost of natural eco-systems, which gradually deplete the soils of organic matter, nutrients and water, making them unsuitable in the long – un leading to the question on their sustainability.

Sustainability is generally seen as human oriented, long-term and involving interaction with natural systems. A sustainable agricultural production system must, therefore, produce economically (less)

Ageing is one of the significant stages of this process. It is a universal phenomenon applicable to all living organisms.

The United Nations declared, the year 1999 as 'International Year of Older Persons'. It focused on "Towards a society for all ages" where young and old get mutual help in bringing equal social order of the society.

Hence, India formulated, the National Policy on Older persons in 1999 aiming to provide a happy ageing atmosphere. In Indian culture ageing gracefully is perceived as a golden period.

In a traditional Indian society, senior persons were looked upon with a sense of honour and authority. Decision making in the family and community were largely assigned to them (less)
