Overview

Manual of Indian Dendrology fills a real gap in forestry education. It brings together classical taxonomy and modern trends in systematics, drawing on allied disciplines. This book comes at a time when our relationship with forests needs to move beyond resource extraction toward knowledge and coexistence. Dr. Biswas has documented how these trees and shrubs are interwoven with the lives of local and ethnic communities, for food, medicine, fibre, and faith. By doing so, he brings back a dimension often missing in technical forestry - the relationship between biodiversity and people. I am confident it will encourage students, foresters, and nature enthusiasts alike to observe our trees more closely and value them as essential partners in ecological balance and rural livelihoods... - Dr. Anil Joshi, Padma Bhushan & Padma Shri Awardee
