From the preface: "It was felt, long ago that there is a necessity for the revision of Hooker's Flora of British India. Therefore, Santapau (1952, 1962) and Janaki Amal (1954) suggested a way out-the revision of the regional floras by different workers working in research institutions, colleges and universities and publication of their works.

Several districts of floristic significance in different states have been intensively and extensively botanized for writing district floras and to prepare revisions of different plant families. "The present (less)

A form of micro-mechanics, the main theme of this science lies in the control of matter in the range of 1-1000 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices along the same length scale. A highly multi-disciplinary field, nanotechnology is viewed by many as an extension of previous sciences applied to the sub-micron scale, or a re-casting of existing sciences using a new, modern term.

The book chronicles the development of nanotechnology as it is today, from the time of Richard Feynman's lecture; however space has also been given to a brief discussion of pre-nanotechnology. It future gives a meticulous and well-researched documentation of (less)

"For over a millennium, Sankara's Vedanta Advaitism: nondualism, has been exposed to extensive discussion, debate, and even polemic. In modern times, it has often been viewed as a system of metaphysical thought, involving a set of several subtle, though interrelated, doctrines--which all have the Upanisads at their base.

The book does not just present Vedanta as a system of metaphysical thought. It is essentially an off-beat effort seeking to philosophically analyse the concepts of Atman, Brahman, and the World--which not only count among the fundamental concepts in the philosophic thought of the Upanisads, but also help capture the true meaning, profundity, richness and beauty of Sankara's Advaita itself.

Also, in the specific contexts of Sankara's philosophy (less)

There is scarcity of book in the English language about the teaching of the Vedas, the oldest records of the Aryan nations. It is hoped, therefore, that this will supply a want long felt alike by missionaries, ministers, and all interested in the religious history of out fellow-subjects in India.
