Administrative theory has been an exciting area of the wider field of public administration. There have been a number of significant approaches models foci and theories that represent and explain administrative phenomena in myriad situations nations and times. Although most of these conceptual constructs in the field of public administration have evolved in the west particularly in the United States of America these have been modified and modernized on the basis of empirical experience gained in the non western world. This present anthology deals with issues and concerns of administrative theory during the past hundred years. Not only the various approaches and models have been analyzed in the context of their relevance and impact these have also been juxtaposed with the administrative practices prevalent across the world.

Perhaps the most significant characteristic of India's parliamentary democracy is its vigorous grassroots structure. Local level participatory and democratic institutions sprawling throughout the country have not only brought authenticity to the democratic spirit but have also made the whole process of governance increasingly effective and responsive. More particularly after the 73 and 74 Amendments to the Indian Constitution the decentralized governance framework has introduced a new dynamism into the overall process of participatory democracy. Even though the constitutional amendments have not been implemented in totality yet the process of democratization has become has become irreversible and it can be hoped therefore that in years to come India could boast of a vibrant responsible democracy the tentacles of which would reach every community group and territory of the country. The present anthology discusses some of the most significant and critical issues pertaining to the impact of Panchayati Raj Institutions the framework of participatory democracy and the design of decentralized governance in India. Throughout the volume the emphasis is on highlighting some of the more prominent features of India's participatory democracy and on a few noticeable lacunae that need to be overcome through institutional devices. The volume is descriptive empirical and instrumental in its perspective and will be of enormous utility to students teach.

Shera and Ramesh Arora. References. The strategy of exclusive reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides for minimizing crop losses caused by pests has led to undesirable consequences for human health and caused a number of ecological and economic problems. The concept of integrated pest management (IPM) was propounded to minimize these effects. But in spite of its inspirational value, most IPM programmes still include economic threshold level (ETL) based application of chemical insecticides as a major input. The wide range of biological and molecular approaches discussed in 15 Chapters in this book offer a plethora of environmentally benign alternatives to these chemical insecticides. It is hoped that the book will fill the wide gap in literature on utilization of biological and molecular approaches in biointensive IPM as an alternative to chemical insecticide based IPM for sustainable insect pest management in future.
