The future of agriculture strongly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. An ecologically and economically sustainable strategy is the application of microorganisms, such as the diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is gaining worldwide importance. "Bacteria in Agrobiology: Stress Management" covers the major aspects on PGPR in amelioration of both abiotic and biotic stresses. PGPR mediated in priming of plant defense reactions, nutrient availability and management in saline and cold environment, hormonal signaling, ACC deaminase and its role in ethylene regulation under harsh conditions are suitably described.

Can a complex subject like tax compliance be handled in such a simple manner? Sibichen K Mathew is successful in presenting his in-depth study on what makes people pay taxes or what prevents them from paying in a very interesting style. The Author takes us through the history, the economics and the politics of taxation to dissect the interconnected issues related to tax evasion and tax enforcement. He forcefully argues that the economic models are unable to fully explain the behaviour of taxpayers. For, if the tax laws are complex, the human mind is much more complex to yield to the economic models. His arguments are supported by data on attitudes, perceptions and experience of taxpayers, ma...
In 1975, Peter Weidhaas was elected as the Director of The Frankfurt Book Fair. It was a surprise choice. Little did he know that he would preside over revolutionary changes in one of the most important cultural expositions in the world. But first he had to answer the question of his own identity. Born in 1938, Weidhaas was forced to confront the horrors of his German past, to live and learn through the tumultuous events on 1968, and finally to find his own place among the leading lights of the literary world. He held the reins at the Frankfurt Book Fair during every major cultural shift of the last quarter of the 20th century: from the explosion of world literature to the collapse of Communism, from the advent of globalization to the triumph of information technology. Through it all, Peter Weidhaas has proven himself to be one of the world s most sensitive bibliophiles and an astute pupil of cultural history.See You In Frankfurt! is the story of how the Frankfurt Book Fair found its soul.
The cultural universe of urban, English-speaking middle class in India shows signs of growing inclusiveness as far as English is concerned. This phenomenon manifests itself in increasing forms of bilingualism (combination of English and one Indian language) in everyday forms of speech - advertisement jingles, bilingual movies, signboards, and of course conversations. It is also evident in the startling prominence of Indian Writing in English and somewhat less visibly, but steadily rising, activity of English translation from Indian languages. Since the eighties this has led to a frenetic activity around English translation in India's academic and literary circles. Kothari makes this very cur...
