In recent years none other than Avian Influenza also called as Bird flu or Avian flu has attracted more attention of the scientists academicians journalists politicians poultry farmers and general public alike. Facts of scientific information along with myths spread with different explanations and illustrations. Nations are in a state of fear as the virus which cause the disease threatens to melt borders and spread the wings of death. The severity of the disease is such to put into the words of Dr. Keiji Fakuda head influenza epidemiologist at U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention published in The Guardian on August 1999 that I've been involved in a number of investigations but in terms of infectious diseases there are a very few comparable events to an influenza pandemic. Most infectious diseases have regional or local implications even a really devastating disease like malaria is confined to warmer areas. There is probably no other disease like influenza that has the potential to infect a huge percentage of the world population inside the space of a year I don't think anybody's prepared. I don't think even people in the field really have a good understanding of what it could be like. A vast information is available on different sources especially websites. But comprehensive and up to date information needed by the scientist veterinarian public health person as well as general public including poultry farmers is found to be the need of the hour. Considering the necessity we thought of bringing a text with comprehensive information which may assist local and national health authorities and other stakeholders who consider the needs for preparing for possible incursion of HPAI to detect the disease at the earliest opportunity and to respond as rapidly as possible to control the disease. This book was therefore conceived along the lines of the noted architect Mies Van der Rohe's dictum less is more. We have devised this text to present the bare essential of avian flu in a palatable and interesting form that will enable most general reader to grasp the essence of the topics mentioned in the text. The experience of the authors in tackling routine poultry diseases did enthuse to follow the track of the disease avian influenza through the globe vis a vis to Indian conditions and delivering various lectures on the topic to people with varied backgrounds the conversation made and the feedback obtained from them made the authors to ink for this book. The information is continuous but the basic concept of which is same and thus we are sure that the information in this book will definitely be useful and handy to the readers. The references given along with websites makes the reader for updating the further information. It is our hope that readers using this text will avoid that choking situation so common in a topic of this sort and even conceive a curiosity about the topic that will lead to further study. 162 pp.…

"The yield potential of crops differ considerably and the recent technological advances in crop cultivation demand judicious nutrient management and to avoid yield losses arising due to nutritional deficiencies. With an aim to project the value of mineral nutrition and its management the book chapters are designed to provide an in depth information on the fundamental aspects of crop nutrition; mineral nutrients, their availability, roles and deficiency disorders. Further the individual chapters are devoted to provide information on basic and applied aspects to understand from the practical stand point. The introductory chapter enlightens the need to understand the scope of the book indicating the importance of nutrient management, soil and foliar fertilization and crop losses due to nutrient deficiencies which result in vast differences in yielding potential and yield. The other chapters provide vast information on nutrient uptake processes, nutrient availability role of nutrients, critical levels, sampling tissue analysis and diagnosis by visual means in important agricultural and horticultural crops. Visual diagnosis is explained in detail so that students, extension workers, field staff will be benefited. In situ diagnosis and correction for each crop is made easy for the reader, since the colour photographs depicting the symptoms are of good quality and self descriptive. Crop wise detailed descriptive symptoms on nutritional disorders and their corrective measures with photographs would be of immense use for the scientific and farming community to sustain the productivity and to maximize the crop yield."
