Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth century, and features a more fully developed review of the history of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues, although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also included. The Guide is organised in ten geographical divisions, with these successively divided into regions and units, each of which is prefaced with a historical review of floristic studies. In addition to the bibliography, the book includes general chapters on botanical bibliography, the history of floras, and general principles and current trends, plus an appendix on bibliographic searching, a lexicon of serial abbreviations, and author and geographical indexes.

Book excerpt: Native and imported, sacred and ordinary, culinary and floral, favourites of various kings and commoners over the centuries, trees are the most visible signs of nature in cities, fundamentally shaping their identities. Trees are storehouses of the complex origins and histories of city growth, coming as they do from different parts of the world, brought in by various local and colonial rulers. From the tree planted by Sarojini Naidu at Dehradun's clock tower to those planted by Sher Shah Suri and Jahangir on Grand Trunk Road, trees in India have served, above all, as memory keepers. They are our roots: their trunks our pillars, their bark our texture, and their branches our shade. Trees are nature's own museums. Drawing on extensive research, Cities and Canopies is a book about both the specific and the general aspects of these gentle life-giving creatures.

Book excerpt: Anil Singh’s writing is uncompromising in its intent to lay bare the ills of present-day Indian society – an intent that is at the core of good journalism anywhere in the world. --Prema Viswanathan, journalist and author The writer draws us out of our cloistered existence, he seduces us with his enticing turn of phrase to confront us with lies and half-truths that make up our world of make-believe. --Shailender Dhawan, Editor, The Free Press Journal Anil Singh writes on a variety of topics with meticulous attention to detail. Yoke this to an unerring ability to capture the concerns of the urban middle class and you have an accessible people’s handbook. --M J Pandey, media activist This book is a compilation of Anil Singh’s column, The Fault With Reality, which appeared in The Free Press Journal during the pandemic. Anyone looking for a time capsule of 2020-22 would find it here. --Philip George, journalist and author
