Author Profile
Dr. Shobha Nagnur having completed her Bachelor's degree in Home Science, pursued her higher studies, and earned both masters and doctorate in Agricultural Extension from the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. She is a nature lover and a garden enthusiast with photography as a hobby. An avid traveler, both professional and personal journeys have taken her to nooks and corners of the country. This has lent her an opportunity to expand the horizons of her love for nature as a hobby into a more professional appreciation of the diverse and rich flora of India. She has used these frequent sojourns to capture through her lens, the myriad play of the plant world. She has been communicating to the general readers, the complex web of nature and environment by articulating in simple and readable form through her regular writings in newspapers and magazines. Of the three books that she has planned, the first one on climbers has already been published. This one on 'Trees' is shared with the nature loving readers, as a second one of the tri-series. Presently, she is working as Dean of the College of Community Science, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad.
About The Book
This book on flowering trees of the tropics displays the visual quality of trees and is intended to draw the attention of the common urban dweller to the beauty and majesty of the perennial flora, that dot the cities and country side. It is meant to make the passers by, aware of and make them stop by for a while and admire the beautiful creations of nature. The book contains in right proportion the interplay of pictures and explanations, adequate enough to titillate one's interest in trees and simultaneously satiate his curiosity to know more about the species. At a time when the growing population is rendering dense our habitations, and the climate change is only compounding the challenge, every citizen would do well to contribute to make a positive change.
The book “Flambouyant Blooming Trees” contributes to such a need by generating awareness and interest among the readers vis-a-vis the trees, and enhancing their knowledge to make an informed decision about the right species to choose and plant at a place of their choice.
