Books by Rajendra Prasad

This book has been written to cover the contents of the Post-Graduate course on 'Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management' offered by the departments of Agronomy and Soil Science at the state agricultural universities in India and at the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. The narrative in the book is brief and to the point in a simple and easy to understand language, demanding least possible time of students. Also at the end of each chapter a few questions of varying kind are provided to recapitulate the main points. This book is intended for preparing the Post-graduate students for their university examinations, competitive examinations and interviews. It is short and permits revision in a short time. The present book discusses the fundamentals of soil fertility conditions in India and the reactions that various plant nutrients undergo in Indian environmental conditions and fulfil the plant need.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases and disorders. The text presents 100 cases, guiding clinicians and trainees step by step through history taking, signs and symptoms, and clinical examination, to investigations, diagnosis and treatment. Each topic is explained clearly and in accordance with the latest advances and information in the field. More than 400 radiological images further enhance the text to assist understanding.

Fundamentals of Electronic Engineering fulfills the requirements of a textbook on basic electronic engineering, a core course for undergraduate engineering students of all branches. The book deals with fundamental concepts and principles of the subject. Concepts and theories are properly explained and illustrated with examples in this book. Three complete chapters deal with the digital systems including microprocessors, microcomputers, minicomputers, and microcontrollers. The book includes a chapter on analogue, digital, and optical communication systems.

Most textbooks in the field are either too advanced for students or don¿t adequately cover current research topics. Bridging this gap, this classroom-tested book helps advanced undergraduate and graduate students understand electronic structure methods and enables them to use these techniques in their work. The text takes a microscopic view of materials as composed of interacting electrons and nuclei. It explains all the properties of materials in terms of basic quantities of electrons and nuclei, such as electronic charge, mass, and atomic number.
