Algal Vegetation of Kathara Coalfield Area along Damodar River Basin
₹499.00
The Damodar River basin is one of the most ecologically significant and industrially
influenced river systems of eastern India. Within this basin, the Kathara coalfield area of
Bokaro district, Jharkhand, represents a unique landscape where intensive mining activities
coexist with diverse freshwater habitats. Algal communities in such environments play a
crucial role as primary producers, bioindicators of water quality, and key components of
aquatic food webs. Despite their ecological importance, systematic studies on algal
vegetation in coalfield-affected regions remain limited. This book is an attempt to bridge that
gap.
Algal Vegetation of Kathara Coalfield Area along Damodar River Basin (Dist. Bokaro),
Jharkhand is an original research work done in the Post Graduate Department of Botany,
Ranchi University Ranchi,for the purpose of Ph.D. degree during the session 2006 to 2009
under the supervision of Late Prof. (Dr.) Radha Sahu, Professor & Head, University
Department of Botany, Ranchi University Ranchi Jharkhand. It presents a comprehensive
account of the diversity, distribution, and ecological significance of algae inhabiting rivers,
streams, ponds, and other aquatic bodies influenced by coal mining activities. The work is
based on extensive field surveys and laboratory analyses, documenting various groups of
algae and examining their relationship with physico-chemical characteristics of water. Special
emphasis has been given to understanding how anthropogenic pressures, particularly mining
and industrial discharge, affect algal composition and abundance.
This book is intended to serve as a valuable reference for phycologists, ecologists,
environmental scientists, research scholars, and students, as well as for policymakers
concerned with freshwater conservation and environmental monitoring. It is hoped that the
findings presented here will contribute to a better understanding of algal biodiversity in
coalfield regions and encourage further research and conservation efforts in the Damodar
River basin and similar ecosystems elsewhere.

Analytical Perspectives in Herbal Medicines and Cosmetics
₹499.00
The increasing global demand for herbal medicines and natural cosmetic products has
highlighted the need for scientifically validated approaches to ensure their quality, safety,
efficacy, and regulatory compliance. Analytical techniques play a crucial role in the
authentication, standardization, characterization, and quality assessment of these products,
thereby bridging traditional knowledge with modern pharmaceutical science.
Analytical Perspectives in Herbal Medicines and Cosmetics for Pharmacy Professionals
has been developed to provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary analytical
methodologies used in the evaluation of herbal medicines and cosmetic formulations. The
book covers key aspects including phytochemical analysis, quality control,
chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, method validation, stability studies, and
regulatory considerations relevant to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors.
This book is intended to serve as a valuable resource for pharmacy students, researchers,
academicians, and industry professionals seeking a deeper understanding of analytical
approaches in natural product- based healthcare systems. We hope that this work will
contribute to advancing education, research, innovation, and quality assurance practices in
the field of herbal medicines and cosmetics.
We express our sincere gratitude to all contributors, reviewers, and well-wishers whose
support and expertise have made this publication possible. We trust that readers will find
this book informative, useful, and inspiring in their academic and professional pursuits.

ANATOMY OF PLANTS
₹499.00
The study of plant anatomy is not only central to understanding the structural organization of plants but also to appreciating the intricate processes that govern their growth, reproduction, and survival. Plants, as primary producers, form the foundation of life on Earth, and their internal structure provides valuable insights into their adaptability, ecological roles, and evolutionary success. This book, Anatomy of Plants, is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide for students, educators, and researchers who wish to delve into the fundamental aspects of plant structure and function.
The chapters in this volume have been carefully arranged to provide a logical progression from the basics of wood anatomy and growth rings to the complex processes of gametophyte development, pollination, fertilization, and embryogenesis. Each concept has been explained with clarity, supported by comparative tables, diagrams, and self-assessment questions to aid both understanding and retention. In addition to the classical foundations of plant anatomy, the book incorporates applied aspects such as dendrochronology, reproductive adaptations, and mechanisms like apomixis and parthenocarpy, which are of significance in both ecological studies and agricultural practices.
This book has been written with undergraduate and postgraduate learners in mind, but it will also be useful for aspirants of competitive examinations and researchers seeking a consolidated resource. By combining theoretical detail with practical assessment exercises, it bridges the gap between academic knowledge and applied learning. I sincerely hope that readers will find this work informative, engaging, and enriching in their exploration of the fascinating world of plant anatomy.
