Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undistributed in natural form. It serves as raw materials to feed most industries. Natural economic products offer a vast, virtually untapped reservoir of chemical compounds with diverse potential uses and provide fundamental life support, essentially for the survival and for satisfying the wants of man-kind. Natural economic products provide wealth that is exported to other nations to earn foreign exchange. The book entitled “Natural Economic Products: An Encyclopaedia” compiled and arranged alphabetically (set of 11 volumes) and attempts to create a glossary of such products. This book covers Economic Botany, Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry, Plant Science, Geochemistry, Material Science, Phytochemistry, Economics, Zoology, Geology and Environmental Sciences. It is highly useful for industrialists, economists, NGO’s, researchers, academician, scientists, botanists, farmers, agriculturists, phytochemists and research institutions interested in natural economic products.  (jacket)
