The body of knowledge called science consists primarily of models and concepts, based on observations and deduced from careful reasoning. Viewed in this way, science is a creative human endeavor.

 This book is of interest for postgraduates and research students for its simplicity of language and the fact that it encompasses many things they need to know about the multidisciplinary approach.

The basis of this book originally stemmed from my passion of gaining knowledge about multidisciplinary research. In truth, I could not have achieved my current level of success without a strong support of my staff members and my students.. The unwavering support, guidance, advices and sacrifices of my family have motivated me to be focused in my field. I have tried my best to amend as the suggestions and recommendation made by our learned professors and friends in the development of this book. I further invite constructive suggestions of improving this book still further.

I am very thankful to Dr. Nafisa Z. Patel, Head, Department of Microbiology, Naran Lala College of Professional and Applied Sciences, Navsari, for her unwavering support and guidance to understand the basic concept of Microbiology and various methods of determination used in Microbiology.

I hope this book will inspire the students towards the multidisciplinary approach in the field of research.
