194 pages. It has 39 chapters starting with the anatomy of bees and proceeding through a SWOT: “Strength - Weakness - Opportunity - Threat” analysis of beekeeping. Applying the first two criteria to this book - its strength lies in the good descriptions of how to do beekeeping the kind of information that beekeepers share with one another.
There is weakness - in the technical information and typography However, scientific descriptions of Asian bees are available elsewhere, while practical advice on Indian beekeeping is less easy to obtain.

This is a very unconventional book which you will either love or hate. Pat Wagner suffered from multiple sclerosis for 20 years until she tried bee sting therapy, since when she has experienced healing results that she never believed possible. If you want to try bee sting therapy, or Honeybee Healing as the author calls it, full details are given.The book is written in a positive way. It argues that, if done carefully, nobody suffering illness has anything to lose from trying Honeybee Healing, while there can be plenty of benefits. Pat Wagner has given Honeybee Healing to over 3000 people and recounts numerous examples of people being helped bv this therapy. -

This is what Oxfam says about it:
price 18.95
“The Handbook respects the changes in
thinking, analysis, and development policy which have taken place since the publication of The Field Director's Handbook in the 1980s, in response to the changing circumstances in which development and relief operations operate.
This is 433 pages of state of the art information about sustainable agriculture. The author provides case studies of sustainable rural development programmes that have worked, and goes on to discuss the far reaching impacts of such projects.
An invaluable work of reference for development practitioners and planners, for policy makers and social analysts, and for teachers and students of development. The Handbook analyses policy, procedure and practice in fields as diverse as health, human tights, emergency relief, capacity-building and agricultural production.”
The book is divided into five parts, each with several chapters, some by other authors. The five parts are: The theoretical basis of agricultural ecology; The design of alternative agricultural systems and technologies: Alternative production systems; Ecological management of insects pests, pathogens and weeds; and Looking ahead.
