Kaiseki - Wisdom of the Japanese Kitchen
Die Weisheit der japanischen Küche
by Malte Härtig
A journey through Japan’s kitchen and philosophy Why do the pretty looking Japanese sweets called Wagashi taste like dusty sugar, why do the tea cups have strange dents, why doesn’t the soup taste of anything? Malte Härtig, cook and philosopher, is mystified when he first tastes Japan’s famous Kaiseki cuisine. He is unable to decode Kaiseki neither with his philosophical approach nor with his European cooking education. But then he finds access through Zen Buddhism and the famous tea ceremony: simplicity, mindfulness, calmness, concentration on details – all these elements of Japanese philosophy are reflected in the tea ceremony and in Kaiseki too. And with both, he encounters wisdom and a refreshing attitude, not only to food, but also to life. Malte Härtig takes us on a journey and leads us through a complete Kaiseki menu and the experiences he has made with it. It starts with the tea itself, from the making of the tea cup to the various dishes. For all the elements one will learn interesting facts and stories that have accumulated in the millennia-old tradition: Härtig explains, why a fish called Hamo plays such a big role, which special features the cultivation of bamboo shoots have and which important role rice plays when it comes to define Japanese identity. One will understand why Japan, the mentality of its inhabitants and the Kaiseki cuisine are increasingly influencing the way we cook and live in Europe.

Agriculture & farmingMarch 2016Microbes for Restoration of Degraded Ecosystems
by D.Joseph & Jamaluddin
Fast growing human civilization and industrialization have resulted in increased amounts of pollutants such as pesticides, electronic wastes, etc. in the environment. These pollutants have hazardous impacts on living organisms including human health. Remediation of these contaminants is a serious environmental issue of current interest. Recent research has shown that soil microorganisms play an important role in remediating and improving disturbed ecosystems. This approach is eco-friendly and relatively less expensive. The investigations carried out using microbes for restoration of degraded eco-systems is covered in the proposed book.

Environment, transport & planning lawSeptember 2022Basics of Wood Anatomy
by Kanica Upadhyay, Rajneesh Kumar& Sneha Dobhal
Wood anatomy, the study of woody cells and tissues, has advanced considerably since the early descriptive accounts were made which consisted mainly of cataloguing what was out there. Anatomical data have been applied in better understanding of the interrelationships of woody plants, confirming evidence of natural relationships of plant families in combined analyses. This book will serve its purpose well, for Undergraduates of Forestry. Wood is composed mostly of hollow, elongated, spindle-shaped cells that are arranged parallel to each other along the trunk of a tree. The characteristics of these fibrous cells and their arrangement affect strength properties, appearance, resistance to penetration by water and chemicals, resistance to decay, and many other properties. Just under the bark of a tree is a thin layer of cells, not visible to the naked eye, called the cambium. Here cells divide and eventually differentiate to form bark tissue to the outside of the cambium and wood or xylem tissue to the inside. This newly formed wood (termed sapwood) contains many living cells and conducts sap upward in the tree. Eventually, the inner sapwood cells become inactive and are transformed into heartwood. This transformation is often accompanied by the formation of extractives that darken the wood, make it less porous, and sometimes provide more resistance to decay. The center of the trunk is the pith, the soft tissue about which the first wood growth takes place in the newly formed twigs. The book will be helpful in imparting theoretical skills to the students, academicians and teaching faculty of the forestry and agricultural disciplines working in field of woody plants. This book is intended to impart basic education for the UG students of Forestry for the course Wood Anatomy.

Environment, transport & planning lawAugust 2020Introductory Forestry
by Alok Kumar Patra
The origin of agroforestry practices, i.e. growing trees and shrubs with food and fruit crops and grasses is traditional and very old; but the science of agroforestry is new. Years of experience and experiments have shown that agroforestry as a land-use system is capable of yielding both food and wood and at the same time helps in conserving and rehabilitating the ecosystems. The book has been divided into ten chapters covering very comprehensive information on all aspects of agroforestry including history, concepts, systems classification, tree-crop interactions, planning and management, diagnosis and design, policy and projects, and propagation and management practices of multipurpose trees.
