The present study examines the emergence ideology and programme mobilisational strategies and spread of the Ambedkarite Movement against the backdrop of two important changes witnessed in the state since the early 1930s a wave of Dalit assertion and grass roots activism. It is based upon extensive field work and interviews with the initiators of the movement and generation of post independence educated upwardly mobile socially aware and politically conscious Dalits. While tracing the socio political history of the Ambedkarite Movement and conversion to Buddhism over 75 years the study presents an account of Dalits endeavour encounters and experiences. It provides an understanding of the impact of Ambedkar speeches and agitations on both Dalits and Indian politics and challenges the tenor of ritual power that defines Hinduism differently. While highlighting its considerable achievements evident in Rajasthan Dalit communities today the study also explores the reasons for the limitation of the Ambedkarite Movement. Perhaps the only scholarly work on Ambedkarite Movement in Rajasthan it will be of interest to sociologists anthropologists political scientists and all those engaged in Dalit Studies. 248 pp.

It demands an understanding of numerous terms such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) a molecule in all cells that contains blueprints for genetic inheritance genes units of information about particular heritable traits which are made from DNA and chromosomes DNA containing bodies located in the cells of most living things that hold most of the organism's genes. The vocabulary of genetics goes far beyond these three terms as we shall see but these are the core concepts. Among the areas in which genetics is applied is forensic sciences or the application of science to matters of law specifically through DNA fingerprinting whereby samples of skin blood semen and other materials can be used to prove or disprove a suspect's innocence. Another fascinating application of genetics is the human genome project an effort whose goals include the location and identification of every gene in the human body. This dictionary includes a vast range of terms and concepts dealing with biochemistry cell and developmental biology immunology hereditary diseases and molecular evolution as well as advances in genomics and proteomics. 272 pp.

Botanical studies may range from microscopic observations of the smallest and obscurest plants to the study of the trees of the forest. One botanist may be interested mainly in the relationships among plants and in their geographic distribution whereas another may be primarily concerned with structure or with the study of the life processes taking place in plants. Botany may be divided by subject matter into several specialties such as plant anatomy plant chemistry plant cytology plant ecology (including autecology and synecology) plant embryology plant genetics plant morphology plant physiology plant taxonomy ethnobotany and paleobotany. It may also be divided according to the group of plants being studied for example agostology the study of grasses alogology (phycology) the study of algae bryology the study of mosses mycology the study of fungi and pteridology the study of ferns. Bacteriology and virology are also parts of botany in a broad sense. Furthermore a number of agricultural subjects have botany as their foundation. Among there are agronomy floriculture forestry horticulture landscape architecture and plant breeding. This dictionary covers all aspects of pure and applied plant science including the taxonomy and classification of plants with entries for the higher ranking taxa. 228 pp.

The need to organise large amounts of knowledge and information led to the development of classifications schemes and other organisational tools. Rapid changes in the way information is generated and accessed lead to changes in the way information is organised for retrieval. The first edition of the Dewey Classification (DDC) was published in 1876 when knowledge was expanding at a fast rate and the public library system was becoming a more open system. The DDC provided a new organisational scheme for dealing with these changes. Today the internet allows information to be generated and packaged in digital format. Can library classification improve access and retrieval of internet resources. This book examines the purpose of library classification and explores how classification schemes can add values. 264 pp.

As more people rely on the web for information and less people approach the reference desks at their local libraries for assistance there is an increased need for formal methods of remote communication between information seekers and information professionals. Many libraries and organisations have responded to this need by providing reference service via the internet or digital reference service to their users. With the growth of digital reference services and collaborative networks there is a clear need for defined standards in order to ensure service quality and interoperable technology. A number of efforts have been developed to identify standards in these areas. The applications of various web services for libraries impacts of internet connectivity and recommendations for future library involvement are described in this book.
