Biotechnology
Designed primarily as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, the book discusses the theoretical aspects and modern applications of plant cell, tissue and organ culture. Written with the aim of providing up-to-date information on the subject, and focused on the concept of commercialization of plant cell culture, the contents have been presented with clarity. The book not only discusses the theoretical aspects of plant tissue culture but also emphasizes the art of its practice. It also provides a systematic explanation of asepsis and methods of sterilization, plant tissue culture techniques, culture of reproductive structures, plant tissue culture in germplasm conservation, its applications in the industry and plant pathology and operation and management of greenhouse hardening unit. In addition, it discusses in vitro propagation of plants (micropropagation) with a series of case studies pertaining to tree species and horticultural crops. Besides students, the book will also prove to be useful for researchers, scholars and teachers.

The Genetics of Cognitive Neuroscience aims to give the reader a working understanding of the influence of specific genetics variants on cognition, affective regulation, personality and central nervous system disorders. It has been known that the aspects of behavior runs in families; studies shows that characteristics related to cognition, temperament and all major psychiatric disorders are heritable. The book offers a primer on understanding the genetic mechanisms of such inherited traits. The chapters emphasize fundamental issues regarding the design of experiments, the use of bioinformatics tools, the integration of data from different levels of analysis and the validity of finding, arguing that association between genes and cognitive processes must be replicable and placed in a neurobiological context for validation.

Raghuram Rajan was one of the few economists who warned of the global financial crisis before it hit. Now, as the world struggles to recover, it's tempting to blame what happened on just a few greedy bankers who took irrational risks and left the rest of us to foot the bill. In Fault Lines, Rajan argues that serious flaws in the economy are also to blame, and warns that a potentially more devastating crisis awaits us if they aren't fixed.
Rajan shows how the individual choices that collectively brought about the economic meltdown--made by bankers, government officials, and ordinary homeowners--were rational responses to a flawed global financial order in which the incentives to take on risk are incredibly out of step with the dangers those risks pose. He traces the deepening fault lines in a world overly dependent on the indebted American consumer to power global economic growth and stave off global downturns.

accomplish them. Perhaps you tell yourself to just buckle down and get it all done--skip lunch, work
a longer day. Maybe you throw your hands up, recognize you can't do it all, and just begin fighting
the biggest fire or greasing the squeakiest wheel. And yet you know how good it feels on those days
when you're working at peak productivity, taking care of difficult and meaty projects while also
knocking off the smaller tasks that have been hanging over your head forever. Those are the times
when your day didn't run you--you ran your day. To have more of those days more often, you need
to discover what works for you given your strengths, your preferences, and the things you must
accomplish. Whether you're an assistant or the CEO, whether you've been in the workforce for 40
years or are just starting out, this guide will help you be more productive.
