Index.

"In the recent years significant number of advances have been made in all aspects of plant sciences and to bring the widely different aspects under one cover is indeed a Herculean Albeit subjective task. That is precisely what the effort of the editors has been in compiling Current Concepts in Botany, which is a collection of review articles as well as original research papers from contemporary fellow botanists from all over the world.

This volume contains 31 authoritative and thought provoking articles of both applied and fundamental value written by leading scientists in the area of their specialization. The objective in developing this volume was to offer a detailed overview of the applied aspects of Botany in terms of its theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions. Interdisciplinary aspects of the subject have been emphasized in the present volume."

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
