Reviews “Provides an in-depth examination of medicinal plants. Intended for researchers, undergraduates, and postgraduates, the textbook covers the diversity of medicinal plants, ethnopharmacology, and relevant therapeutic practices. Each chapter describes research conducted in diverse environments across India where many therapeutic regimens using botanical sources have originated. . . . A timely collection of research. . . The editors of this volume succeed in assembling a niche and novel set of manuscripts that highlight the diversity and modern therapeutic value of medicinal plants. This text is well suited for researchers interested in translating the largely untapped potential of medicinal plants in India to therapeutic regimens in other parts of the globe.” — Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, 2020 Jun; 93(2): 387. Reviewed by Halbert Bai, MPH “An important addition to the knowledge repository . . . The papers in the volume are selected carefully, covering varied aspects of the titled subject, providing the reader an overview and in-depth knowledge on some of the specific aspects, such as bio-prospecting, value-added biomolecules of Indian mangroves, and ethnobotanical studies of major medical plants.” —From the Foreword by Padma Mahanti, Director, Dept. of Environmental and Climate Change, Kerala, India Now Available in Paperback CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Jayanta Kumar Patra, PhD, PDF Assistant Professor, Research Institute of Biotechnology and Medical Converged Science, Dongguk University, Ilsandong, Gyeonggido, Republic of Korea Jayanta Kumar Patra, PhD, PDF, is currently working as Assistant Professor at the Research Institute of Biotechnology and Medical Converged Science, Dongguk University, Ilsandong, Gyeonggido, Republic of Korea.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
