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.
