This series aims at fulfilling the knowledge needs of postgraduate learners in agriculture and biology, focussing on self-directed learning. Keeping this point in full view, these volumes would dilate on contemporary information in chosen themes in a pertinent, but brief backdrop of historical knowledge,with appropriate textual information laced with relevant illustrations. Most importantly, these books aim to cater to the self-learning needs in passionate and committed learners. By self-learning, the teacher’s role turns into mentoring rather than tutoring. Vital details have been ‘box’ed so that learners can internalize them easily, swiftly, and forever. Care has been exercised to integrate examples from the Indian subcontinent, so that the learners can relate to concepts and principles quickly. The most critical aspect is the inclusion of specific case studies and interactive-mode of learning, so that learners can learn about the day-to-day issues and application of theory that surround the nominated theme effectively. Every effort has been meticulously made to see that the books launched under this series are easily readable and user friendly.
