    Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents Foreword/preface. Part one of politics 1. On political revolution. 2. On representative assembly. 3. On constitution making. Part two of economics 1. On capitalist economics. 2. On socialist economics. 3. On monopoly capital. Notes. Index. This work endeavours to bring out the scientific aspect of social science. That this is not as easily done in the social sciences as in the physical sciences is in itself a rationale behind the need for a novel approach to this subject. The author who has been a management systems specialist by profession for over forty years believes that just as in the words of John Masefield the poet Laureate historical change is more than merely one damn thing after another so too social science is something other than just one damn theory after another. Objectives which this study is trying to achieve may be summed up as an effort to reorganise the social sciences in terms of the original humanitarian ideals of human freedom and human welfare albeit from within the confines of human society. 236 pp.

    Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Plants of horticultural importance with numerous species and innumerable varieties and cultivars ranging from enormous trees of more than 100 m high to small herbs comprising fruits vegetables ornamentals plantation crops spices medicinal and aromatic plants are of great commercial value providing food shelter beverages oil paper rubber medicine and natural essential oils etc. Numerous ornamental plants are extensively grown for beautification outdoors throughout the world and as houseplants indoors cut flowers constitute a major item in the beautification programme and in commercial floriculture. The plants in general trees and shrubs in particular many of which are of horticultural importance are friendly to environment contributing enormously for sustaining life on the earth by releasing oxygen reducing the level of carbon dioxide and industrial gases that cause air pollution and global warming minimizing erosion maintaining soil fertility encouraging recreation etc. resulting in a better environment for a better life. The cultivation practices of large number of horticultural crops in greenhouses and outdoors standardized through research investigations have resulted in marked improvement in quality and production. Application of biotechnology has also resulted in remarkable progress in the science and production technology of horticultural crops including medicinal and aromatic plants and in developing resistance to diseases and pests through genetic transformation. In view of the enormous importance of horticultural crops for a healthy life in a better environment an effort was made to write a dictionary of horticulture. The major objective of the present endeavour is to provide useful literature in all groups of horticultural crops including those grown in warm climate. In addition to the morphological characters of many genera and thousands of species and cultivars their uses cultivation practices of major crops have been written keeping in view that a brief write up may not always serve a useful purpose as a guide to production. Apart from the usual importance and priority on fruits vegetables ornamentals plantation crops and spices an emphasis has been given on important medicinal and aromatic plants many species of which are of tropical and subtropical origin. The uses and cultivation methods of many of these plants have been included. The book will be published in 10 volumes comprising about 600 pages each with 500 to 600 hundred illustrations in colour. The first three volumes have already been printed and the remaining 7 volumes will be printed at regular intervals and completed by early 2007. This multi volume publication is expected to augment interest in general horticulture and also to provide useful information on various aspects of different groups of horticultural crops their taxonomy uses and production technology with emphasis on tropical and subtropical plants. 597 pp.
