"Digenetic trematodes constitute an important group of helminth parasites, which pose a continual and unacceptable threat to the life of their hosts. Animals like sheep, goats, cattle, buffaloes, pigs and poultry form a considerable source of food for human population. While parasites infecting these animals make them unfit for human consumption, at the same time they also cause a steady drain on their vitality and growth resulting in their high rate of mortality leading to 72 pp.

And the site for this study is the legendary village called Khezhakeno, which is regarded by several Naga tribes as the village of their origin. Whatever one gets to read about the village is in itself valuable for the Nagas in particular and those who research on them in general." (jacket) 106 pp.

In recent years the advances made in the use of biotechnological methods have increased to an unforeseen extent and the challenge to scientists now is to apply these techniques successfully to a range of vitally important economic and environmental situations. The impact of biotechnology on the characterization conservation and utilization of genetic resources and consequently future of food agriculture medicine and environment is potentially enormous. Understanding and directing this potential impact is crucial because of the urgent issues that we face concerned with the environment health world hunger genetic engineering and the welfare of all species for a growing world population as well as conservation of the world's rapidly dwindling plant animal and microbial genetic resources. Genetic Resources and Biotechnology on the one hand deals with plant animal and microbial genetic resources their nature description and utility as perpetual renewable assets and on the other with the techniques and practices of biotechnology so as to give a clear cut picture of the subject and also help the biologists keep abreast with the latest developments. The articles in this book provide not only an update of state of the art techniques in many critical areas of biotechnology but also look into the future by defining current bottlenecks and research goals. Genetic Resources and Biotechnology volume two consists of sixteen chapters provides an overview on biotechnology and its applications on the characterization conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources such as wheat musa caca.

Appendix the role of the civil society in the prevention of armed conflict an action agenda for South Asia. Index. This volume is an outcome of collective endeavour aimed at understanding the issues of emerging ethnicity conflict resolution and peace processes in India's sensitive North East comprised of seven states i.e. Arunachal Pradesh Assam Manipur Meghalaya Mizoram Nagaland and Tripura. Perpetual ethnic conflicts and their resultant violence have severally affected the society polity and economy of the region during the entire post colonial period beginning with the rebellion of the Nagas in early fifties of the 20 century. Both in qualitative as well as in quantitative terms the conflicts and violence have increased significantly over the years. In the process conflicts have become largely institutionalised and paved the way for emergence and continuity of low intensity wars within the territory of the same nation state. Conflicts are not only confined to the state and the insurgents alone it goes far beyond the conventional discourse of simplistic conflicts to a much more complex set of conflicts wherein various insurgent groups fight one another besides sometimes they fight against the society to which they belong. This brings to the fore the role of civil society as a mediator between the two disputants in the conflicts i.e. the state and the insurgents/ethnic movements. This collective academic exercise is aimed at analysing some of the existing conflicts exploring the possibilities of resolving such long drawn conflicts and paving the way for peace in North East India. This volume is a cornerstone resource for a wide range of institutions and individuals concerned with problems of North east India. This will attract the attention of students and scholars of ethnicity conflict resolution peace and security studies. 222 pp.

This thought provoking work examines ethno history an under explored field of study that lies at the intersection of interpretation reinterpretation intellectual history literature and gender studies. A pioneering piece of ethnohistory uses a variety of interdisciplinary means to reconstruct the oral history of an important tribe in North East India i.e. NYISHI. It traces the impact of misnomer nomenclature labelled on the tribe throughout century and psychic agony inherent in the transformation of people under the twin impact of reign of the Ahom and colonialism. It analyses how these factors shaped and reflected the society as static and stagnant. In reconstructing the history of traditional political institution that have been wrongly interpreted and understood have been systematically re examined to attain the objective study. Author also raises whole issues concerning the methodologies of ethno history and the dynamics of the whole last millennium history of NYISHI of North East India. Author powerfully combines analyses of medieval writings eighteenth century texts archival records local and colonial records and extensive ethnographic field work and attempt to piece together oral history and oral traditions of the NYISHI people which will appeal to the general reader intellectuals specialists policy maker professionals and researchers. The study of oral history leads into an area of human culture to which social scientist are now increasingly turning their interests as part of research on pre literate non segmentary acephalous societies linking up with developing method on such subject social memory the emotions the ethnography of speaking and verbal arts action more intensely. It is now timely to have a book of guidance for researchers as to the possibilities and problems of researching in the area where no written record and archive sources are available. This book will definitely serve as useful aid for such researchers who eager to work on the topics of oral history oral tradition and understanding the non literate community. 256 pp.

Depletion degradation and thus management of natural resources have become an important issue worldwide for sustaining human civilization and its progress. Several factors like population growth incidence of poverty unplanned economic activities ownership rights and faulty system of management as well as government policies are identified to be the major reasons for this. The both way linkages between the availability and quality of resources and economic and human development have been established in several writings theoretically and empirically that provide useful insights for the policy formulation and judicious management of resources. Attempts have been made at different national and international fora to raise awareness among the people and formulate ways for the sustainable management and utilisation of resources. In spite of having huge potential resources North East India failed to tap and judiciously use those for the development of the regional economy. However the region has also been observing degradation of such natural resources. The present volume is a collection of good articles highlighting the issues and problems of management of natural resources in connection with the development of economy. Also the linkage between human resources and management of natural resources is analysed along with the analysis of role of society education of the people and traditional knowledge especially in the North East India for the management of resources both renewable and non renewable. A part of the volume is also devoted for the management of tourism and related resources along with the descript.
