One way to increase food security is to decrease the amount of yield lost to pests. The Pesticide Encyclopedia provides a comprehensive overview of the fight against pests, covering chemical pesticides, biocontrol agents and biopesticides. It also covers interrelated topics such as pesticide toxicity, legislation and regulation, handling, storage and safety aspects, IPM techniques, resistance management, interaction of pesticides with soil and the environment. An important reference for policy makers, advisers and students and researchers of crop science, this book also includes useful notes on commonly known plant diseases and pests.

The Shaping of Indian Science: 1982-2003
This is a compendium of the speeches of the Presidents of the Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) from 1914-2003.

Swami Vivekananda Modern Science and Human Excellence
In the entire religious history of the world, perhaps Swami Vivekananda was the first spiritual leader who emphasized on cultivating scientific values and approaching religion with a scientific mind. He not only proclaimed the possibility of harmonizing science and religion, but also emphasized its urgent need. He wanted everyone to strive to assimilate all positive values of all human endeavor to achieve human excellence in every walk of life. This book, authored by Dr. Sanjay Sharad Palsule, a scientist who worked in ISRO and ESA and a doctorate from Heriot-Watt University, profusely quoting Swami Vivekananda has indicated the need for understanding the benefits and limitations of every culture and civilization and assimilating and integrating all values to create a new world civilization - a civilization that would achieve and nurture, not just Eastern Excellence or Western Excellence, but 'Human Excellence'.
