"The book has been comprehensively designed to cover all most all the significant aspects of biotechnology. It has been divided in six important volumes to keep the size of the book handy. Each and every volume of the book is having its own importance as far as the wider understanding of biotechnology is concerned.

Various topics such as sustainable agricultural productivity, cell culture, gene cloning and recombinant DNA Technology has been widely touched in the first very volume of the book. Multi facet application of biotechnology in the field of agriculture has been incorporated in this particular part of the book which will be supportive to the readers to expand their understanding of biotechnology.

All most all the aspects of biotechnology pertaining to agriculture has been synthesized in first very volume of the book "Comprehensive Biotechnology".

The second very volume of the book "Comprehensive Biotechnology" is \'Crop Biotechnology\'. It extensively covers all the aspects of biotechnology pertaining to crop productivity or generation. This particular volume touches variety of topics such as plant breading, genetically modified crops, cotton plant development etc.

\'Animal Biotechnology\' is in the third very volume of the book "Comprehensive Biotechnology". This particular volume explore knowledge in the fields such as Animal Biotechnology Research enhanced lean muscle mass, enhanced resistance to decease, transgenic organisms and live stock etc.

Exploration of new ideas to apply biotechnology for the deeper and extensive study of aquaculture has been summed up in the fourth very part (Vol. IV) of the book.

It gives sufficient amount of knowledge for greater understanding of Aquaculture Biotechnology. Provides the readers adequate information to study the science of growing fish and other aquative organisms in controlled environment.

To study environmental improvement and conservation fifth volume \'Environmental Biotechnology\' is certainly going to be fruitful.

It gives adequate amount of information to apply biotechnology for regulation of biosystem for remediation of contaminated environment.

\'Food Biotechnology\' is the sixth very volume of the book \'Comprehensive Biotechnology\'. It has covered the various dimensional aspects of food. Variety of questions pertaining to food biotechnology such as \'What is the food biotechnology all about?\' \'What are the organism used?\' \'What are the methods and techniques?\' \'Future prospects in this particular field\' etc. has been given due importance. The curiosity of the readers related to these topics has been taken under consideration while writing the book." (jacket)
