The impact of the life of Sabas and his exceptional system of monastic life has endured from the fifth century to the present. In this study, which originated from an archeological survey, Joseph Patrich examines the Sabaitic contributions to Palestinian monasticism, from Sabas's role as founder and abbot to the theological struggles after his death.
THE history of the Old Testament tells us that the most wise Solomon received from heaven “wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart eve as the sand that is on the seashore that cannot be counted;” so that by the Lord’s testimony we may say that no one either has arisen in time past to equal him or will arise after him: and afterward, when wishing to raise that magnificent temple to the Lord, we are told that he asked the help of a foreigner, the king of Tyre. And when there was sent to him one Hiram, the son of a widow woman, it was by his means and ministration that he executed all the glorious things which he devised by the suggestion of the Divine wisdom either for the temple of the Lord or for the sacred vessels.

Algae is not only the branch of Botany, it’s a combination of both Botany and other branches of biology. The book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date information of applied phycology, classification, life histories of selected genera under Cyanophyta, Prochlorophyta, Glaucophyta, Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta, Heterokontophyta, Euglenophyta, Dinophyta, Cryptophyta, Prymnesiophyta, Chlorarachniophyta and Phylogeny along with the modern development of algal research. This is a textbook for the undergraduate and postgraduate student of Botany and Biology.
This is a multi-volume work that has been serving the undergraduate and postgraduate students of botany for more than four decades. It has equally been used for several competitive examinations. The book covers the fundamentals of bacteria, mycoplasmas, cyanobacteria, archaebacteria, viruses, fungi, lichens, plant pathology and algae. Over the years, it has earned acclaim as being students’ favourite, as it explains the topics in a very comprehensible language. It has been thoroughly revised to include the newfound knowledge acquired by recent research in botany. The revised edition also comes in a more attractive format for better understanding of the subject. New in this Edition • Improved categorization of bacteria, cyanobacteria, archaebacteria, fungi, viruses and algae in the major groups of organisms. • Modern classification of fungi and algae. • Study of fungal diversity based on the development of molecular methods. • Life cycle of Neurospora, and genetics of Neurospora. • Topics on fungal biotechnology and algal biotechnology explore the molecular methods in which they are exploited by man.
Textbook of Algae has been written for undergraduate and postgraduate students of botany. It covers the syllabi of various universities, particularly the most recent syllabus recommended by the University Grants Commission. It will also serve students appearing for various competitive examinations. The book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the occurrence, structure, reproduction, phylogeny and classification of algae. It explains the subject in full detail, with special focus on the life cycles of some common genera. In addition, it discusses the characteristic features of the important forms of algae, the applied aspects; interaction between algae and environment, the protocol for algal identification, and culture and cultivation of algae. The most recent uses of algae, such as they being a source of hydrogen and their use in the extraction of biodiesel, have also been included.
