Agroforestry: Principles and PracticesA.P. Dwivedi

In the quest of increasingproductivity, the multi-tier sys-tem ‘agroforesty’ has assumedwider recognition. Althoughagroforestry is an old practice, theworld over, the term and the sci-ence of agroforestry are compara-tively of recent origin. The recentagroforestry systems involve acombination of crops and treesand sometimes animals in the land

use in such a way so as to obtain maximum productionof food, fodder, wood and other products and providegreater financial return. The combinations and crop typesvary from region to region.

All existing agroforesty systems as practised in Indiahave discussed, including the crop composition andcrop interaction.

The silvicultural and general information of about 150tree species commonly grown in different regions ofIndia, given in the book will be useful to practisingagroforesters and other interested in agroforestry.

Basics of Plant VirologyH.N. Verma: Professor of Botany and Head,Plant Virus Laboratory, Lucknow University,Lucknow, India

The book is intended for thestudents who know nothingabout viruses and who need anorderly presentation of thebroad and important conceptsof the subject without the innu-merable details. With these re-quirements in mind, the bookhas been written to provide aconcise and comprehensive ba-sics of plant viruses, important

diseases caused by them and how and why thesediseases were confused with diseases caused by re-lated pathogens, such as phytoplasmas (MLOs) fas-tidious bacteria (RLOs) and viroids.The book will be equally useful for agriculture stu-dents studying Plant Pathology. Besides teachers willfind this book very useful and informative.

A History of Political Theory, 4/eGeorge H. Sabine revised by Thomas L. Throson:Indiana University, South Bend

This history of political theoryis written in the light ofthe hypothesis that theories ofpolitics are themselves a part ofpolitics. In other words, they donot refer to an external realitybut are produced as a normalpart of the social milieu in whichpolitics itself has its being. Thereflection upon the ends of

political action, upon the means of achieving them,upon the possibilities and necessities of political situ-ations, and upon the obligations that political purposesimpose, is an intrinsic element of the whole politicalprocess. Such thought evolves along with the institu-tions, the agencies of government, the moral and physi-cal stresses to which it refers and which — one likesat least to believe — it, in some degree, controls.

Extension educational pro-grammes are being undertaken allover the world. In spite of theimportance given to these pro-grammes, many people are re-luctant or unable to acceptchange. A close scrutiny of theconstraints in these programmesshows the absence of under-standing about the concepts, phi-losophy, objectives and method

of working with the rural people among the fieldworkers. The importance of extension education forrural development made it imperative to introduceextension education courses in the educationalcurriculam.

The availability and continuityof Petroleum and Natural gashave become an important pa-rameter for the growth ofeconomy of any country.Specially the scarcity of theprecious stock is reflected in thegrowing economies. Our countrybeing poor in these resources,has to depend upon the everincreasing imports. Our crude

production for decades together never crossed 34 MMTthus by 2010 we may have to import 130–150MMTPA, though our refining capacity has gone up to134 MMTPA with a present consumption of 110MMTPA. With new discoveries and over-sea venturesby ONGC and other oil producing organizations,present production is better than what it was fourdecades ago.

The result was more than a dic-tionary.

Elements of Practical Statistics, 3/eS.K. Kapur

This book, which is based onthe content of a 2 years coursein statistical methods inthe Department of Commerce,Economics and Statistics, isprimarily intended for under-graduate students of statistics andstudents of M.Com., and M.A.(Econ.) classes who have statis-tics as a part of their curricula.A comprehensive treatment of

sampling, tests of significance and analysis of varianceand inclusion of partial and multiple correlation, prob-ability and theoretical distributions should make itequally useful for students in other disciplines ofstudy also. This may be used by candidates for com-petitive examinations (like the I.A.S.) as well.

The treatment of the subject is, by and large, non-mathematical. What is assumed is an ordinary knowl-edge of arithmetic and high school algebra and of loguse tables. It is precisely for this reason that probabil-ity and theoretical distributions have been treated inan appendix. Interpolation is included in a separateappendix.

It is not likely that a personwho entertains even a modestprejudice against the kind of his-tory writing which appears inthis book will have his mindchanged by introductoryapologetics. Still some prelimi-nary advertisements of aims maybe only fair — and many evenby generally helpful to a recep-tive reading.

The literary historian will always do well to nurse acertain scepticism about the thoroughness with whichhe may be penetrating the secret of his documents.But then he has the worry too about an oppositedanger of being merely and overly sceptical.
