Mammals are a lade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from the reptiles and the birds by the possession of hair there middle ear bones, mammary glands in females, and a neo-cortex. The mammalian brain regulates body temperature and the circulatory system including the four-chambered heart. The mammals include the largest animals on the planet and some other whales, as well as some of the most intelligent. The encyclopedia presents a comprehensive synthesis of mammalian morphology anatomy physiology embryology and origin and evolution This encyclopedia provides a nucleus around which the teachers can plan a successful course without too much learning on complementary and supplementary readings Efforts have been made to avoid overburdening the students with information The book contains the reading material in the light of latest researches and development in the field These include origin and evolution of mammals, aquatic adaptation in Contents: Introduction Mammal Classification; Evolution of Elephant.

The present book is the outcome of valuable scientific contribution of made by various scientists across the country. This Book has comprehensive coverage of all the issues and strategies related to farming systems and is expected to provide valuable information for research scholars, undergraduate and post graduate students having farming systems course in their curriculum, guide to entrepreneurs, farming community and NGOs. This book contains thirty five chapters with broad heads covering i) Overview, issue and strategies of farming system research in India ii) IFS based crop diversification, enterprise selection and planning ii) Food and fodder production strategies based on farmers resource base iii) Integrated resource management iv) climate change, carbon sequestration and Agroforestry strategies v) watershed based approach, soil and moisture conservation strategies v) IPM and weed management strategies in IFS vi) animal health, dairy farming, integrated goat, poultry and fish management through waste recycling vii) post harvest management of crop residues viii) Socio-economic issues and analysis. This book is expected to provide sound knowledge in scientific forum for formulating research plans and policies in the country for making our agriculture sustainable
