Appendices. Index. It is the first ever scientific account of the lakes of the Indian subcontinent written by prominent researchers and university teachers associated with this field. The book encompasses the genesis of the lake basins of the Himalayas sub Himalayas and the Indo Gangetic plain and vividly portrays the ecological behaviour of the lakes of certain limnologically distinct regions viz. Kashmir Kumaun and the coastal plains. The articles on the water chemistry microbes phytoplankton algal mats zooplankton macrophytes periphyton and fish are comprehensive and lucid and are meticulously edited to achieve uniformity in presentation and treatment of subject. Articles on such scantily investigated aspects as production and eutrophication have also been covered which will hopefully serve as the basis and set guidelines for further researches. The last chapter designated as Indices contains basic facts and figures concerned with the water economy of India certain limnological generalizations acclaimed the world over and an inventory of important lakes of India Pakistan Bangladesh and Sri Lanka with brief notes on their geographical position physiographical dimensions and present state of ecological investigations. It is hoped that this compilation will serve as a manual of limnological researches in India and will be useful to students researchers and planners alike. 327 pp.

The growing economy of the developing world particularly in East and South Asia are leading to increasing urbanization industrialization and motorization. Urban areas have almost half the population of many of these countries. Manufacturing and services once distant competitors to the largely agrarian economies have together surpassed agricultural contributions. Vehicles have exploded to keep pace with rising incomes and needs. With the developing world there is also an increase in the number of chronic diseases like asthma arthritis diabetes etc. Although most people have heard of asthma few know exactly what asthma is or how seriously it affects the lives of people of all ages all around the world. Asthma is a respiratory disease that is chronic which means that it is always present and there is no cure for the condition. For those that live with the condition their lungs airways and breathing passages are very sensitive more sensitive than other non asthmatic people. This sensitivity leads to inflamed and swollen breathing passages that make breathing difficult. In addition the muscles that control the breathing passages begin to spasm pulling the already inflamed air passages tighter together and there is a marked decrease in the size of the airways sometimes even complete closure resulting in asthma. 416 pp.

Desai and Yogesh T. Jasrai. 5. Rheumatism and the role of medicinal plants/Madhavi Adhav. Arthritis is a term used to describe a number of painful conditions of the joints and bones. Arthritis literally means inflammation of one or more joints. Arthritis is frequently accompanied by joint pain. A joint is an area of the body where two different bones meet. A joint functions to move the body parts connected by its bones. Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of the joint's cartilage. Cartilage is the part of the joint that cushions the ends of the bones and allows easy movement of joints. The breakdown of cartilage causes the bones to rub against each other causing stiffness pain and loss of movement in the joint. Osteoarthritis is known by many different names including degenerative joint disease Osteoarthrosis hypertrophy arthritis and degenerative arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is traditionally considered a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the joints. It is a disabling and painful inflammatory condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction. RA is a systemic disease often affecting extra articular tissues throughout the body including the skin blood vessels heart lungs and muscles. 462 pp.
