The idea of the book entitled “Objective Life
Science: MCQs for Life Science Examination:
2nd Ed.” was born because of the lack of
any comprehensive book covering all the
aspects of various entry level life science
competitive examinations in particular
conducted by CSIR, DBT, ICAR, ICMR, ASRB,
IARI, State and National Eligibility Test, but
not limited to.
The ultimate purpose of this book is to
equip the reader with brainstorming
challenges and solution for life science and
applied aspect examinations. It contains
predigested information on all the academic
subject of life science for good
understanding, assimilation, self-evaluation,
and reproducibility.

Indian Ethnobotany:Emerging Trends
Currently ethnobotany has been a subject of wide interest forresearch in developing and developed countries. The book has been dedicated to the doyenof Indian ethnobiology, Dr. S.K. Jain, FNA, popularly known as 'Father of Indian Ethnobotany'.The book comprises veryimportant articles written bynotable ethnobiologists/botanists on different aspects of ethnobotany. The book wouldcertainly be useful to the students, researchers and teachers working on variousaspects of ethnobotany and helpful to various pharmaceuticalindustries in exploring plants forpreparation of new drugs.

Mycology and Microbiology(A Text Book For UG & PG Student)
Mycology and Microbiology havepredominant influence in our lives. They aredirectly or indirectly involved in generatingthe food we eat and drink, besides providinglife saving pharmaceutical products, including the sources of enzymes. They play a vital rolein recycling of organic matter and severalecological processes. Both fungi and microbeshave contributed several billion dollars worthof technological products. For instance: yeastis used in brewing and bakery, Lactobacillusferments milk to yoghurt and a number of edible mushrooms are rich in nutrientsbesides possessing many medicinal properties. Bacteria and fungi serve as keyorganisms in understanding life processes,genetic engineering and as experimentalorganisms. Therefore, it is necessary to studythe biology and biotechnology of these organisms. It is a humble attempt of the authors to make the readers understand the biology and biotechnology of fungi and microbes in a simpler way and also tocommunicate the recent developments.
