Evaluation of the book
 

From Sri R. S. Goenka, Emami Group

"I have had the chance to briefly go through this book and find it very informative. It will certainly prove to be an invaluable resource for those involved in dealing with palm products and / or its cultivation. You must have done a lot of research and taken great care to assimilate all the information in this book of yours.

I sincerely hope that your book "Palms for India" reaches the right users. It will not only help them to become more knowledgeable but also provide up to date information about the various critical aspects, which can then be applied appropriately to derive the best possible results."

From Dr. B. Chowdhury, LieBigs

"A handy book, Palms for India by Dinesh Rawat is nicely presented with immense value addition towards identification, ecology and cultural parameters of palms under Indian conditions. Mr. Rawat is not a Horticulturist by academic education but his horticultural views on the applied aspects of horticulture is thought
provoking.
 
The concluding part of the book devotes a few pages for categorization of palms viz. palms with spines, clustering palms, drought tolerant species, water loving species etc. which shall offer an approximate choice for the growers who generally need to know these either as hobbyist or as commercial grower.

The book would also be useful for connoisseurs, landscapers and students equally."


From Sushil Mohta, MD, Merlin Projects Limited
