“Biodiversity in Indian Scenarios†with more than thirteen research papers!! Most of the papers are original research papers on various aspects of biodiversity. A few review articles explain the past works in a well-defined manner. It is an excellent book and a source of valuable reference material for research students for various aspects on Biodiversity in our Indian subcontinent. Special reference is laid on South Indian Mountain ranges. This book will serve the purpose of the students of post-graduation in biology, especially in Plant Biodiversity. Hence, I strongly recommend it for educational institutions as an excellent reference work. Valuable criticism for the improvement of second edition are welcome and will be gratefully acknowledged.
