Book Description
Since her accession to the throne in 1952, Queen Elizabeth II has become one of the most familiar icons of Great Britain and the face of the modern monarchy. This lavish and fascinating volume illustrates her half-century reign and celebrates the reproduction of one of the twentieth-century’s most recognizable images in stamps through the unparalleled philatelic collection of the British Library and the Royal Mail. A fully revised and expanded edition of the 2002 book, this volume presents over 250 beautifully reproduced images—including every single design of the “special stamps” issued for royal occasions, plus those designed by members of the royal family themselves, providing an unsurpassed visual record of the illustrious monarch’s life and times. Featuring recent events such as the death of the Queen Mother, the wedding of Charles and Camilla, the eightieth birthday of the Queen and the new “Diamond Wedding” stamps published for the celebrations of October 2007, this remarkable volume is an essential addition for anyone with an interest in stamps and their design, as well as those fascinated by the life of the royal family.

Book Description
The National Botanical Research Institute came into being as the 13th among a chain of National Laboratories established during April, 1953 under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research by the Govt. of India for advanced research in fields of specialisation which have a direct bearing on socio-economic, industrial and scientific advancement of the nation. Christened initially as National Botanic Gardens, the nucleus around which the institution took shape under its founder- Director Late Prof. K. N. Kaul, was a large herbarium of Indian flora and a centu- old botanical garden spread over 35 ha of land on the banks of River Gomti in the heart of Lucknow city. It’s a matter of great pleasure and profound satisfaction to me that a Golden Jubilee volume entitled, “Pteridology in the New Millennium” is being published and released during the Golden Jubilee year of NBRI in the honour of Professor B. K. Nayar who laid the foundation of the Pteridology Laboratory of the NBRI, which is now a well equipped laboratory for the study of Indian pteridophytes. Professor Nayar is a holistic Botanist as evident through his contributions and publications in almost all the areas of study of Pteridophyta. The contribution of Professor Nayar towards the development of modern Pteridology and the role of NBRI in it is indeed great and very important. His publications will be valuable for the younger generation of scientists in the field as well as for the more mature research workers and teachers.

Book Description
The half-century since Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1952 has witnessed many changes, some for good and some for ill. Among these, she has been one of the few constants. Fifty Years the Queen recounts her amazing life as Canada and the Commonwealth celebrate the Golden Jubilee of her accession to the throne. Elizabeth II is a figure whose faultless devotion to duty flourishes in an age of individual self-gratification. endowed with high spirits and a great sense of humour, she at the same time carries out her duties with unfailing dignity and decorum. The special Golden Jubilee tribute is filled with many beautiful illustrations, including some rarely seen.
