Canine Dermatopathology is a comprehensive resource for veterinarians, clinicians, students, and faculties that delves into the dermatological disorders in dogs. As dermatology constitutes a significant portion of daily caseloads in small animal practice, this book emerges as an invaluable tool in providing a logical and sequential approach to tackling the challenges presented by various skin conditions. The canine skin, being the largest organ with multifaceted functions, demands a nuanced understanding. This book recognizes the complexity of dermatological cases and emphasizes the importance of a structured diagnostic approach. In addition to addressing common health problems in pet animals, particularly dogs, the book explores a myriad of aetiologies, including ecto/endoparasitic infestations, contact allergens, physical causes, radiation, infectious causes (bacterial, viral, fungal infections), immunological causes, nutritional/metabolic disorders, and endocrine imbalances. It also emphasizes the prevalence of secondary infections and guides veterinarians in successfully managing dermatological cases. The book highlights the significance of specific tests, such as skin scrapings, fungal and bacterial culture, cytological evaluation, and skin biopsy. Cytology emerges as a highly efficient and valuable examination that facilitates rapid lesion evaluation and guides subsequent diagnostic steps. Histopathology, when coupled with clinical findings, leads to definitive diagnoses, especially in cases involving neoplastic nodules or conditions with poor responses to previous therapy. With a focus on cytology, gross morphology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry, the book equips veterinarians with the knowledge needed for accurate and early diagnosis and treatment of various skin conditions in dogs. It serves as both a ready reckoner and an educational tool for the readers.

The domestication of animals marks a transformative chapter in human history, deeply influencing lifestyles, livelihoods, and relationships with nature. In India, animal husbandry is more than an economic activity—it is a cultural tradition rooted in values of care and compassion, as reflected in the principle of Ahimsa found in Vedic texts, epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and Buddhist and Jain teachings. This interdisciplinary volume, comprising twelve chapters, explores the historical evolution, cultural dimensions, and scientific relevance of traditional animal management practices in India. A central focus is Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) and Ethnoveterinary Medicine (EVM), which include time-tested practices using herbs, minerals, herbo-mineral combinations, and ethnozoological remedies. These approaches are grounded in centuries-old wisdom and resonate with the modern science of zoopharmacognosy—the study of animals’ self- medicative behavior—traced to ancient Indian scriptures. The book offers an in-depth exploration of Ayurveda-based veterinary care (Pashu Ayurveda), outlining its origins, core principles, and continued relevance. It highlights the contributions of ancient scholars such as Shalihotra, Nakul, Palkapya, Jayadatta, Charaka, Sushruta, Jivaka, and Vagbhata, while also discussing the practical application of Ayurvedic formulations in contemporary livestock management—showcasing India's rich legacy in animal health sciences. Concepts from classical texts are shown to align with modern approaches like reverse pharmacology, animal- assisted therapy, and the One Health framework. The chapters further examine phytopharmacology and the scientific validation of traditional herbal therapies, offering insights into pathways for herbal drug development. Practical considerations, such as the design and utility of herbal gardens, are also addressed, emphasizing their therapeutic, educational, and conservation value. Richly illustrated with photographs and visual material, the book captures the socio-cultural and ritual importance of domestic animals in Indian life—spanning rural livelihoods, festivals, and temple practices. Detailed images of medicinal plants and herbal gardens serve as a valuable resource for those engaged in ethnobotany, veterinary care, and biodiversity conservation. This comprehensive reference is intended for students, scholars, and practitioners in veterinary science, ethnobotany, rural development, and complementary medicine. It also serves traditional knowledge holders, policy makers, and researchers interested in sustainable animal healthcare systems rooted in indigenous practices.

India is primarily an agricultural economy, with approximately 55% of the total workforce engaged in agriculture and related activities (Census 2011). The agricultural sector, including horticulture, aqua-culture, and fisheries, is essential for enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring food security. Therefore, it is crucial to empower farmers with the necessary skills, knowledge, training, and mass awareness programs. This approach, known as capacity building (CB), can help alleviate hunger and malnutrition, ultimately contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #2: Zero Hunger by 2030. This book aims to present and highlight a selection of capacity building programs sponsored by national and international organizations, such as ICAR, NFDB (National Fisheries Development Board under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairy), MANAGE (National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management), World Fish, USAID (United States Agency for International Development), and other institutional mechanisms

Ein preußischer Ehemann, nur der Grimmige genannt, eine beste Freundin, deren wochenlanger Aufenthalt die Freundesbande strapaziert, und eine naseweise Besucherin aus dem zivilisierten England. Sie alle bevölkern Elizabeths Garten, ihren liebsten Ort, ihre Oase der Ruhe. Meisterhaft erzählt Elizabeth von Arnim davon, wie sie den verwilderten Garten ihres preußischen Landguts in ein Paradies verwandelt und wie sie – trotz unerwünschter Eindringlinge und störender Nebendarsteller – dem wundersamen Zauber, den der Geruch feuchter Erde und die blühende Stille um sie herum verbreiten, immer wieder erliegt.

The rule of law, an ideology of equality and universality that justified Britain's eighteenth-century imperial claims, was the product not of abstract principles but imperial contact. As the Empire expanded, encompassing greater religious, ethnic and racial diversity, the law paradoxically contained and maintained these very differences. This book revisits six notorious incidents that occasioned vigorous debate in London's courtrooms, streets and presses: the Jewish Naturalization Act and the Elizabeth Canning case (1753-54); the Somerset Case (1771-72); the Gordon Riots (1780); the mutinies of 1797; and Union with Ireland (1800). Each of these cases adjudicated the presence of outsiders in London - from Jews and Gypsies to Africans and Catholics. The demands of these internal others to equality before the law drew them into the legal system, challenging longstanding notions of English identity and exposing contradictions in the rule of law.
