This book ¿Practical Handbook of cytology¿ deals with the various experiments that are commonly expected to be performed by the life science students at graduate and Post graduate level. Every experiment is described in a very methodical manner. Universal college experiments like mitosis and meiosis study are detailed with many substitute methods for the complete success in demonstration of principle behind it. Commonly used protozoan like Amoeba and paramecium culture methods are elaborated in detail with alternative methods, followed by various experiments performed on it. The appendix will be of particular use for the teachers in arranging the experiments. All solutions, stained, and media used in different protocols in this book are clearly given for off laboratory preparation. Though primarily written for the B.Sc. and M.Sc. Life science student, this book will be useful for the students of Veterinary science and Agricultural Universities.

Vermicomposting is an effective method for disposal of organic wastes of different types and as a mode of better composting for sustainable urban waste disposal system. The adoption and awareness of this technique is gradually developing applications in society. This book will definitely help to understand urban aspects of vermicomposting. This book features an important aspect of vermicomposting for under graduate as well as post graduate students and researchers in Life Science disciplines. The book will also be useful to those concerned with urban waste management and preparation of vermicompost from city and industrial organic wastes. It is hoped that the students and researchers would get basic ideas in the field which may lead to develop new approaches and methodologies in the area of vermicomposting and waste management. This book includes various chapters on wide range of important aspects such as types of earthworms used worldwide, different types of organic wastes used worldwide for preparation of vermicompost, bacterial, fungal and chemical aspects of vermicomposting.

"Experiments in Life Sciences" Practical book for Advanced Level and Intermediate Students of Life sciences, which covers various experiments. The book presents methods, techniques, and illustrations relevant to zoological, biochemistry, botany, ecology experiments. The text first discusses principles, requirements, procedure and then proceeds to theory and explanations. Next, the book deals with cytology and histology also. It also covers elementary biochemistry, solution and stain preparation. Animal physiology experiments are also discussed in details. The book contains 32 experiments in detail. It will be most useful to students of disciplines concerned with various branches of life sciences, such as Biotechnology, microbiology, Physiology, pharmacy and veterinary sciences.

Medical Entomology is in course of time undergone a transformation from a mere traditional knowledge of the discipline to the one that stresses emphatically on harvesting a plethora of insects infinite 'biomedical' properties. Our familiarity with the medically important insects and other arthropods has, therefore been expanded in this book to explore unlimited biomedical significance of these tiny yet most successful creatures on earth with about four million species. In addition to having first-hand information on the pestilent vectorial importance of arthropods, and infections, an ingenious attempt has been made to unveil their medicinal value in different contexts. Having au fait with the fact, that environment plays a key role in regulating disease epidemiology of a given vector-borne infection, adequate emphasis is laid to trace the various pathways governing the linkages among the vector-pathogen-host triad. The book offers a detailed account of various poisonous and injurious arthropods, along with the venoms action on the human being. The book should hopefully serve a good purpose to both the students of zoology and medicine as well as professional researchers.

The influence of insects on human life - destructive and beneficial - can be traced back to prehistoric days until now. Agricultural entomology concerns itself with the study of insects associated with various aspects of agriculture. It deals with the study of both beneficial and detrimental insects. Insects that are detrimental to agriculture are commonly known as insect pests. The bulk of agricultural entomology deals with the control of those. Insect pest control is now conducted through integrated pest management (IPM) principles that aim to be sustainable in the use of resources and environmentally friendly. IPM requires plenty of experience and knowledge and combines all available methods of control. Prevention is also an important component of IPM programs. In India, agriculture is the main occupation of the majority of people. The most important natural enemies of agricultural crops are insects, plant diseases, weeds and weather conditions. Out of this, insects are the greatest competitors of man in the struggle for existence. In the present topic the various kinds of pest will be studied in broad sense/view.
