The Satellite Remote Sensing and GIS, a new fast developing technology, has potential for quick and accurate assessment and characterization of natural resources potentials. Nowadays, for any small query, planning and management of natural resources, one can find quick answer by referring the satellite images. But, satellite images have to be interpreted which requires training and skill. During recent years, at many Universities, at graduate and post graduate degree courses of engineering, agriculture, forestry, geology, geography and environmental sciences, Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) has been added as a part of syllabus. Keeping in mind, this book has been written, in simple explanatory language with illustrations, so that even novice and inexperienced person can understand and interpret the satellite images. There are 19 chapters in the book, covering two aspects, (1) Fundamentals of Remote Sensing Technology which includes satellites and sensors, spectral reflectance characteristics of objects on earth surface, satellite image interpretation techniques and GIS, and (2) Applications of the Technology for identification, mapping and monitoring of landforms, soil, surface and ground water and forest resources; land use/ land cover classification and wasteland mapping; land degradation and desertification classification and mapping; crop identification and acreage estimation, watershed development planning and monitoring; natural calamities and disaster management. Each topic has been elaborately explained with case studies to meet the requirement of the students, teachers and natural resource planners.

Organic farming is being talked at various forum as a new approach and panacea for conservation of soil health and natural resources. Huge organic wastes being produced at crop fields cattle yards poultry farms fish hatcheries municipal waste and garbage which need to be properly utilized to save our environment. This compendium presents basic concepts about the characteristics and composition of organic waste and its potentials for crop production. The chemistry and biochemistry of organic waste its decomposition and mineralisation and manifestations on soil physical chemical and microbial make up are highly specialized fields of study. Specialists in each of these topics have been invited to contribute and thus a comprehensive account on the biochemistry of organic residues as source of plant nutrients humification process and influence on soil fauna have been thoroughly dealt with. The compendium will be very useful for those involved in maintaining soil health natural resource conservation and organic farming movement. The book will also be equally beneficial for teachers and students of agricultural and environment sciences. 246 pp.

Thar Desert in India is one of the most well-investigated and densely populated regions amongst the world arid zones. A blend of crop and animal husbandries, conservative land use practices, coping mechanisms to minimize adverse effect of drought and a frugal lifestyle have been the characteristic features of its dwellers. Recent increase in biotic pressure has interacted with the fragile environment to create fearsome environmental problems. Governmental responses were prompt in form creating a strong research infrastructure for multi-disciplinary and multi-location research and demonstration on the one hand and in huge investment in irrigation from internally and externally sourced water, desertification control program and an accelerated socio-economic and infrastructure development, softening content of drought and strengthening of livelihoods on the other. Unlike several publications on the Thar, the current effort attempts a comprehensive, pragmatic and off-beat analysis of various developments and goes further to show how the situation today is a blend of both resource degradation and economic development. Recent studies have helped rebuild the past climate history that shows that the climate has been fluctuating during the geological history but reports suggest also that current anthropogenic global warming makes the desert more vulnerable in near future. An attempt has been made also to peep into the future of the Thar. (jacket).
