This book discusses the perception of disease, healing concepts and the evolution of traditional systems of healing in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, India. The chapters cover a diverse range issues: people and knowledge systems, healing in ancient scriptures, concept of sacredness and faith healing, food as medicament, presumptions about disease, ethno-botanical aspects of medicinal plants, collection and processing of herbs, traditional therapeutic procedures, indigenous Materia medica, etc. The book also discusses the diverse therapeutic procedures followed by Himalayan healers and their significance in the socio-cultural life of Himalayan societies. The World Health Organization defines traditional medicine as wisdom, skills, and practices based on theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, used in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness and maintenance of health. In some Asian and African countries, 80% of the population depends on traditional medicine for primary health care. However, the knowledge of these conventional healing techniques and traditions associated with conveying this knowledge are slowly disappearing. The authors highlight the importance of safeguarding this indigenous knowledge in the cultural milieu of the Himachal Himalayas. This book will be an important resource for researchers in medical anthropology, biology, ethno-biology, ecology, community health, health behavior, psychotherapy, and Himalayan studies.
This anthology is composed of various writers from different parts of India where they have shown keen interest and participation. STYGIAN AMULET is book based on the theme to appreciate darkness, solitude, ends of a thing/story/person. The word Stygian means darkness while the word Amulet means a lucky charm, it is to convey that not every time the darkness brings bad omen and we ought to appreciate the darkness as much as the light… autumn as much as the spring. The inspiration for this anthology’s name and theme is taken from a Chinese historical novel “Mo Dao Zu Shi” where one of the main characters uses a magical tool created out of darkest souls to do the right thing, the tool called the “Stygian Tiger Amulet”. We hope to make others see the beauty of darkness through this
The Dewey Decimal Classification System, popularly known as DC or DDC, was created by Melvil Dewey more than a century ago. Since then it has gone through constant changes and has grown from a 44 page booklet to four volumes. But its basic plan, notation and desire to serve librarianship has remained stable.
This is a comprehensive, iconographic, aesthetic and artistic study of the female figurine at the temples of Hadoti, Ellora and Khajuraho. It describes in detail the temple sculptures through a comparative analysis of their contents and techniques. It traces the development of symbolic imagery and the artistic tradition of that site, while at the same time highlighting those statues or panels which are the most authentic artworks of their style and the symbol of Shakti or female power. This book brings forward glimpses of India's rich cultural heritage and the manifestation of Shakti, the powerful Goddess.
Architecture as an Art from the world of spirit !! The Religious background of Indian Art & Architecture is well known. This represents the broad cultural view of Hindu life through Temple Art & Architecture. Art as the expression of spiritual values in terms of beauty is the result of some intense experience which the artist tries to communicate to spectator. The recognition of something greater than man and an attempt to express things which are unseen and eternal, something from the world of spirit. The spirit of Indian art not only serves, pleases the eyes of beholder but also fulfils fortune and protection of evil. A merely textual treatment of the subject or one based on the study of the monument can not give the full results, both need to be co-related and in India we can not draw a clear line of demarcation between science and philosophy so manuals and monuments both should receive the full attention. However, Hadoti is rich in Art and Architecture,many great temples were constructed during Ancient and Medival period.This book is an Honest attempt to present the valuable heritage and tradition of Hadoti.
The Study of Organophosphate pesticide has recently become a subject of biological interest because of their hazardous potential, low concentrations with growing industrialisation metals & pesticides to water is increasing day by day.

There is evidence that the level of pesticides in fresh water, lakes, and rivers has been rising in recent years. Pesticides poisoning products a crippling and after fatal diseases. Pesticides causes a major problem in aquatic environment..
