In the context of rising adverse effects of climate change on agriculture, there is a need for advanced methods and practices to manage soils for production of food and energy. This book presents the latest advances in microbial processes that control plant growth, with focus on genomic tools, microbial interactions with the plant and soils habitats, mobilization of plant nutrients, agricultural waste management, biodegradation, bioremediation, carbon sequestration, land reclamation, plant growth promotion, suppression of plant pathogens, induced systemic resistance and tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses.

Based on both theory and extensive empirical research, this book is compares culture and management styles in India, Japan, China and Western countries, and proposes a synthesis of West-dominated management technology with Eastern intuition and values.

Purportedly expressing the so-called 'new humanism' in organisational and institutional development, this volume uses a series of imaginary dialogues to explore the conflict between rampant capitalism and the pressing need for some ethical input into business.
