Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Guidebooks - Nature, language: English, abstract: A Chikodi hill is located in North Western part of Belagavi District of Karnataka state, India, maintaining great plant diversity. Little attention to plant diversity studies has been made to it in the past years. Here, we present a checklist of the flowering plants of this region obtained through intensive field investigations and matching of herbarium specimens. In total, 584 species, including 24 endemic species are documented, belonging to 95 families and 383 genera. The native ranges, habit, habitat, flowering and fruiting and voucher specimens of taxon have been recorded in this checklist. It is the first exhaustive inventory of the flowering plants in Chikodi hills which is a significant regional centre for plant diversity.

Plants exhibit forms of asymmetry analogous to "handedness" in bilaterally symmetrical animals. This book explores the evolutionary significance and development of asymmetry. Examples of genetic control include the direction of tendril or stem coiling of many climbing plants; the so-called spiral phyllotaxy and floral taxy; and contorted petal arrangement is another kind of left- right symmetry in plants; the direction of contortion is fixed in some but not in other plants. The book will underscore tha all phenomena related to handedness start during embryogenesis itself, with the occurrence of embryo rotation. Key selling features: First consolidated book on Plant Handedness Relates handedness, asymmetry and chirality to the evolution of different organizational levels in plant biology Emphasizes handedness as a vital governing force in plant functional evolution Provides a new perspective, hitherto ignored, into plant developemtn and evolution Describes how an age-old phenomenon can give scope for investigation from a very modern interdisciplinary approach

The year is 1565. Devastation reigns over the once-renowned Vijayanagara Empire. Its powerful army has buckled under the assault of four minor Sultanates. Within a few hours of the Battle of Talikota, the political contours of southern India have been radically altered, the rich and prosperous capital city, Vijayanagara, plundered, decimated, and abandoned. It would lie uninhabited for centuries, known thereafter only as ‘the ruins of Hampi’. Behind this cataclysm swirls a saga of ruthless ambition, caste, and religious conflict, family intrigue and betrayal, driven by the power hungry ‘Aliya’ Ramaraya, son-in-law of the emperor Krishna Deva Raya. A brilliant strategist and diplomat, he ruled the empire with an iron hand but was unacceptable to his own people as the legitimate heir because he lacked royal blood. In Crossing to Talikota, Girish Karnad focuses on the interplay of characters who have been ignored by history even though they played integral roles in shaping one of its darkest chapters.

The autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda (1893 - 1952) details his search for a guru, during which he encountered many spiritual leaders and world-renowned scientists. When it was published in 1946 it was the first introduction of many westerners to yoga and meditation. The famous opera singer Amelita Galli-Curci said about the book: "Amazing, true stories of saints and masters of India, blended with priceless superphysical information-much needed to balance the Western material efficiency with Eastern spiritual efficiency-come from the vigorous pen of Paramhansa Yogananda, whose teachings my husband and myself have had the pleasure of studying for twenty years."

Project Report from the year 2014 in the subject African Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 2, Kuvempu University, language: English, abstract: Bijapur is the land of an ancient city. During the period of Chalukya’s of Kalyani it was known as Vijayapura (City of victory). The Bijapur district has an area of 10,541 km2. The district is found in association with barren rocky/stony wastes within notified forest boundaries with scrubs. The present botanical survey resulted in to 257 flowering plant species, (including cultivars) under 219 genera and 68 families. Among the total number of species, the leading families found in the campus are Poaceae, Fabaceae, Caesalpiniaceae. Among these, Salvia aegyptica L. is very rarely distributed and only confined to Bijapur district. Beside this, Indigofera hochstetteri Baker, was relocated in the campus. The floristic diversity information provides complete picture of different species available in various seasons and associated faunal diversity. Field observations indicated that the present study area is devoid of tall or big trees due to barren rocky/stony wastes land. Furthermore, based on present survey we are recommended that more number of tree/shrub species must be planted and it should be proper monitoring in future by concerned authorities.

Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Biology - Botany, grade: 2, Kuvempu University, language: English, abstract: The present work aimed to study the tree species diversity in Gadag district, Karnataka. A total of 133 tree species belonging to 105 genera and 42 families were encountered. Fabaceae was represented by the highest number of species (34), followed by Bignoniaceae (10). Among total number of the species 16 plants recorded as alien and medicinal plants respectively, beside this edible fruit 22 (including minor 16 and major edible fruit 6), dye yielding 7, fodder 4, sacred plants 5, timber 21 also been documented. It is essential to document tree species diversity, in order to gain more knowledge on species richness as well as their geographical distribution.
