Save the green cover and conserve forests. Save hills before they are referred in stories as once upon a time. Conserve energy by turning-off lights when not required (don't turn-off lights in emergency situations, when dealing with any calamity except where it is required to turn-off power, when some work is going on, when there are safety concerns for people, or when someone is sick and there is a need for adequate lighting). Avoid dumping disposables on railway tracks, open lands, river and sea shores to prevent landfills and to ensure a clean environment.

Beware of Bird fancier's lung, an interstitial lung disease. Timely vaccination can protect precious little lives from vaccine-preventable diseases—Save a child, save a life, and save a dream. Refer government and regulatory advisories, directives, or guidelines. Keep first-aid kit at home and workplace for use in emergencies. Cover water containers to prevent dengue.  In case a person is bed-ridden for a long time, use air bag to prevent bed sores whether at home or at health care centre. Prefer using prescribed medicines by the health expert and be aware of anti-microbial resistance. Try to start early for work if the workplace is far away rather than overspeeding or boarding overcrowded transport services during rush hour. If possible, try to help the elderly if you find that they are unable to cross the road due to heavy traffic. If possible, offer your seat to the elderly or those in need in buses and metro trains.

Sciences comprise natural sciences, namely life sciences and physical sciences, formal sciences, applied sciences, and social sciences. This section will include some interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary topics.

Science and Environment comprises environmental science, climate, biodiversity, and interdisciplinary fields. ‘Today, tomorrow, thereafter’ will cover both biotic and abiotic factors. The book consists of various sections and hence the title ecological balance and sustainable development is now part of this title. More in the ToC.

My view: ‘Over the ages, several economists have contributed to the field. Like any other field, economists do differ in their views and this is more apparent because economics plays an important role in the well-being of the humanity, governance, growth of nations, and future of our interconnected world. However, this contributes to the growth of the field and results in new theories and branches. Hence, economics continues to evolve.’ What can I contribute to this important field? The answer is amongst those listed.

Geography comprises physical geography and its sub-branches, human geography and its sub-branches, environmental geography, and integrated geography. This section will further include related interdisciplinary fields.

As of now, there are 28 states and eight union territories in India. ‘Regions of India’ in three volumes will cover various aspects.

There are five continents. ‘Regions of the World’ in five Volumes will cover various aspects. These volumes replace the earlier title ‘Africa and the Middle East’, which will be now covered in Volume I and Volume III respectively. Instead of a separate title ‘The Road Ahead’ mentioned earlier, all volumes will have a chapter with a similar title.

Humanities include art, culture, history, literature, linguistics, lexicography, philosophy, and religious studies.

This was and is one of the most interesting areas of interest. Historical studies have evolved over various centuries. Every field has a history so one will find references to history as well as to the future in most fields that I have endeavoured to write. Here the focus is on civilizations.
