Over the years, it has earned acclaim as being students’ favourite, as it explains the topics in a very comprehensible language. It has been thoroughly revised to include the newfound knowledge acquired by recent research in botany. The revised edition also comes in a more attractive format for better understanding of the subject. New in this Edition • Improved categorization of bacteria, cyanobacteria, archaebacteria, fungi, viruses and algae in the major groups of organisms. • Modern classification of fungi and algae. • Study of fungal diversity based on the development of molecular methods. • Life cycle of Neurospora, and genetics of Neurospora. • Topics on fungal biotechnology and algal biotechnology explore the molecular methods in which they are exploited by man.
The studies on economic history of modern India had a very late beginning. During the early stage of historiography, a few historians recognized the connection between political and economic history remained a chapter on economic conditions only. Causes and effects of economy were never and analyzed. This book attempts to fill that gap.

It also extend an elaborate discussion on land settlement, revenue policies, commercialization of agriculture, decline of handicrafts, state of irrigation, development of transport and communication and currency. Finally, it evaluates economic impact of British rule and addresses the issue of economic drain from India.
