"During the recent years, with the growing concern for the environment and its management, the accumulated scientific concepts on environment have witnessed the emergence of a multidisciplinary subject i.e. Environental science. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, sometimes, it becomes difficult for a student/teacher/scientist to keep track on the ongoing research in the field. The aim of the present book is to provide its readers an acquaintance with the recent research trends in the area of ecology and environmental science. For this purpose 34 papers and reviews contributed by the experts from different educational and scientific institutions in India and abroad have been serially arranged from soil ecology and vermitechnology through ecology and ecophysiology forest and wildlife ecology to pollution ecology and toxicology. The book will be useful to the post graduate students and research workers in ecology and environmental sciences and scientists looking after the management of environment." (jacket)

  • 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.
