6) DON'T TALK, LISTEN

""Don't talk-Listen"" we have been shouting, as teachers in our classes for more than two decades. Not only students, but nobody seems to listen. The list includes friends, juniors, seniors, relatives and every other individual we meet. It hurts a lot when the people we love and care about are not really listening and this is a general experience of all of us. A sympathetic ear is a powerful force in human relationships. This book introduces readers and students to ""Listening"" as a powerful communication tool. Listening is totally different from hearing and something that is bigger than you may realize. Listening translates the principles of human understanding. At work, it becomes the reason for gaining or losing business and opportunities. Listening is the basis for strong, enriching love relationships in our lives. It broadens our view, lays the basis for peace, enriches the quality of our relationships, and opens the way for success. Unfortunately all the advanced pedagogic systems and institutions are void without a curriculum for ""Listening"". We hope this book fills that lacuna and will be of great help for everyone who wants to improve their listening skills.

5) MODERN APPROACHES IN SOIL AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY

The book,which is a comprehensive Compilation of eleven of Chapters ,has been entitled "Modern Approaches to Soil ,Agriculture and Environmental Microbiology" by the authors Dr. Shiva C. Aithal and Dr. Nikhilesh Kulkarni, because the origin of microbial activity by and large starts with soil and eventually effects the environment,with man accomplished techniques like agriculture contributing to the process . The authors have consciously and meticulously put efforts in study in the syllabus pertaining to various universities, so that a broad range of syllabus is encompassed, which will help not only the students but also the teachers alike.

The advancements that have taken place in all phases of soil agriculture and environmental microbiology have made it necessary to prepare this book. In order to bring the material up-to-date, the book has been thoroughly revised and written The chapters show the most significant compilation a containing a considerable amount of basics because it is believed that no student can intelligently understand or pursue research without first having had a sound knowledge of the fundamental concepts . significantly more textbook materials has been incorporated in this edition and laboratory protocols have been kept out in a deliberate attempt to justify and encourage those who prefer the protocols given in good manuals .

Primarily aimed as a textbook on the subject of soil agriculture and environmental microbiology and biotechnology for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students, we hope this book to be of significant assistance to them written in an academic and lucid style ,the book should help the reader to quickly master the various biological aspects in varied yet allied areas of microbiology and biotechnology like air , germ free environment, fresh and waste water pollution and its control, soil disease plants genetically modified foods, bio-geochemical cycles, bio-fertilisers, composting, petroleum, bio-degradation, bio-leaching, bio-augmentation. Etc.

A prime objective and hope is that this edition will generate ideas, in the minds of young students, which will bring forth new approaches and methodology leading to further advances in understanding of interactions and their implications for agriculture, soil and environmental microbiology via project and research. We hope that this book becomes a valuable addition to the literature in the subject of microbiology.

4) GLOSSARY IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND GENETIC ENGINEERING AND BIOGRAPHIES OF RELATED SCIENTISTS HANDBOOK

The book provides the definitions of biotechnology and is intended for anyone working directly or indirectly with those pioneering the frontiers of modern biology. This includes and teachers from Pre University (11th and 12th std) for whom biotechnology has become indispensable in the new syllabus, undergraduates and post graduates in biotechnology and microbiology and not to mention researchers from the same area. The book has been written for readers without necessarily holding advanced degrees in molecular biology. The authors have taken care and made certain compromise between absolute scientific rigor and definitions based on analogy, with the inherent possibility of oversimplification. The cross reference after each item is extensive and provides the logical connections with other items for readers to explore relevant topics. This book will be of a great help especially for people with no advanced training in biological and chemical sciences to understand concepts and buzzwords that are indispensable to their work. Nevertheless, biotechnologist, who is probably only an expert in one of the diverse areas of biotechnology, and advanced students In one of the many biotechnology fields, may find it useful. The book will help one keep up to date with the biotechnology terminologies and communicate successfully with those working on the cutting-edge of modern science and enter interdisciplinary collaborations. This book is recommended to pre university students, teachers and scientists. This book will enable a better understanding of the complex ideas presented in today?s biotechnology work environment. As the progress of molecular biology is attributed to the scientists who made the discoveries this book provides information about some of the important biology of the world, including the famous, infamous and unknown. In an attempt to give a novel touch, a complication of forty six biographies describing the lives and work of influential biologists, genetists, microbiologists and molecular biologists is included in this book which will certainly augment the curiosity of an enthusiastic reader.

3) AIR MICROBIOLOGY

About the book

This book of Air Microbiology: An Environment and Health Perspective is at present the only one solely devoted to Air microbiology. Air is an important component of life. It is well known fact that life cannot exist without air. Considering the importance of air and weight of the fact that very scare or little information/literature is available an attempt has been made to give comprehensive and exhaustive information regarding all the aspects of Air Microbiology. This book covers all the important aspects of air microbiology which is essentially a part of study in Microbiology, Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology, Environmental scientists and Engineers, Researchers in various fields, Health professional and students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. All current topics on air are covered in detail to meet the requirements of UG and PG students. We have paid special attention and have taken exceptional efforts to cover all basic areas of Air Microbiology like Physical, Chemical and Microbiological aspects of air, Air Pollution, Enumeration and Control of microorganisms from air. The books also explains various advanced topics like Biological warfare, Exobiology, Gnotobiotics and Plant Disease forecasting. This book will be a good reference book for all Life Science students including those persuing studies in Medical and Environmental Engineering. This book will be a useful test book as well as reference book in life sciences and medical sciences. Key feature of this book are: Easy to understand, Concise text in simple and lucid language, attractive and easy to understand with plenty of self explanatory figures, flowcharts and tables, giving up to date knowledge regarding the subject.

2) MICROBIAL CATABOLISM - A Review

About the Book

This book contains 100 pathways for microbial catabolic metabolism of primarily xenobiotic organic compounds. It includes information on most known microbial catabolic reaction types and the organic functional groups they transform. The purpose of this book is to provide a thorough overview of research and developments being carried out in the field of microbial degradation of xenobiotics compounds which are causing harm to the global environment and human race in general. This book also aims in creating an interest amongst diligent readers who may find new avenues for research. Each section provides an overview of a metabolic pathway of a particular compound that is a central component of the human use in a particular area. Due to its organization, the handbook can be used as a reference book by researchers of related field and can be read for individual sections or chapters.
