Disaster Management is relatively a new discipline in our country. Truly speaking, a few decades ago, the administration and the government machinery in India had no clear concept of Disaster Management, leave alone its execution and implementation of corrective measures.

Ironically, it was the alarm given by natural calamites like cyclones and earthquakes which awakened our authorities and policy planners. However, now concern, regarding the problem and related matters. Obviously, there is a dearth of good books on the subject. This research based and authentic work should fill the bill.

Tissue is the most significant constituent of body. In fact, it is made up of cells, which is the smallest unit of the body. These are of various kinds with different functions. For instance, blood cells, bone cells, cells of the muscles, etc. in common parlance, cells constitute bones, flesh and blood. Then, the cells of a particular part may be of different sorts. Blood cells are of two kinds: red cells and white cells. While red cells provide oxygen to the body, white cells defend it from the external attack of bacteria.

Tissues are, similarly, of different shapes, sizes and of various characteristics. Some are hard; some soft; some circular; some cylindrical and so on. Present work is based on meticulous efforts and well-researched facts. It covers a spectrum of tissues and offers an excellent read.

The present title Advances in Plant Morphology and Anatomy is a compilation work and embodies a fairly comprehensive treatment of the fundamental facts and aspects of morphology and anatomy. The purpose of this book is to provide students an authoritative and up- to-date text in a very simple way, easy to gasp by those who do not have strong background of this subject. The present text provides a background of facts, terminology and internal structure of common plants around us and may safely be used as laboratory guide. Much emphasis has been given on the anatomical study of angiosperms. Ecology aspects have also been dealt with in sufficient details. It has been the constant endeavour of the authors to furnish maximum substances, keeping in view the limitations of size of the volume. The main objectives of the present set is to provide a comprehensive and well illustrated account of the prescribed subject matter in a very simple and lucid language and concise manner yet still maintaining its desired academic standard. Efforts have been made to condense the matter as far as practicable. The subject matter features both a text and a laboratory guide
