in order to increase growth of the country, but doesn’t seem to understand how a detrimental effect on the environment could mean the same for his people. A change in the environment could cause a change in the monsoon season, which would affect many farmers across the country as the monsoon is responsible for around two thirds of all agriculture in the country. This would mean a drastic decrease in the amount of food that can be supplied to the people of India. Not only would this be…

Thankful to my mother's friend in Sangli, Maharashtra, who's daughter's wedding invitation caused us to go. When my…

The variation in content of camptothecin from the bark of Nothapodytes nimmoniana J. Graham., using HPLC analysis. The bark drug receives three seasons viz. monsoon, winter and summer in months of August, December and May.

there is a relatively flat section named the Mormon Flats that leads to one of the steepest sections named the Red and Whites. The trail is at a grade of nearly 30 percent, meaning it essentially has to be built as a cobblestone path to withstand the monsoons and mule traffic. After this strenuous section and 2000 feet above Tip Off and only 1.5 miles from the rim is my last stop, Cedar Ridge. The trail beyond Cedar Ridge reveals the grandest views on the Kaibab, revealing a perspective only…
