No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Dr. Manish Wani was born in Vadodara, India, in 1968. He and his family immigrated to Arlington, TX when he was 2 for his father to earn his post-doctoral degree in civil engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. His father also ran a series of small businesses, one Indian grocery store and two hotels. Dr. Wani became interested in the medical field in 11th grade and moved to Houston to study at Baylor College of Medicine. He is now an otolaryngologist practicing at Texas ENT Specialists in Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital.
Dr. Wani is actively involved with community service; he is a board member of the Gandhi Library and is currently helping plan the construction of the Eternal Gandhi Museum.

Breves reseñas de investigaciones
No full textWe present here brief reviews of cultural investigations executed in the framework of the Fondo de investigaciones para la revitalización cultural y desarrollo productivo creativo de la Costa Caribe de Nicaragua (Investigations for the cultural revitalization and creative production development of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast´s fund). The investigations here reviewed have not been published yet for lack of space and budget. However, to reveal their existence to potential researchers on these topics we publish in this issue of Wani a brief review of each one.

Soil Nutrient Mapping for On-farm Fertility Management
No full textFeeding the projected population of 9.1 billion globally and 1.6 billion
in India by 2050 is one of the greatest challenges of the century,
and in this endeavour to ensure future food security, efficient soil
nutrient management is crucial (Wani et al., 2003; Sahrawat et al.,
2010; Chander et al., 2013). Since the era of the Green Revolution in
India in the late 1960s, the focus has been on only three macronutrients,
namely nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), and
this has brought nutrient imbalances and widespread deficiencies of
micro and secondary nutrients such as sulfur (S), boron (B) and zinc
(Zn) in addition to macronutrients (Wani et al., 2009; Sahrawat and
Wani, 2013; Chander et al., 2014). Most farmers and stakeholders are
not aware of soil fertility issues and management alongside water and
crop management, which is the main reason for large yield gaps in
the semi-arid tropics (SAT). In order to ensure future food security
and the future of smallholder farmers, science-led interventions are
needed to bridge the yield gaps in the SAT. Some pilot initiatives
such as the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid
Tropics (ICRISAT)—Andhra Pradesh Rural Livelihood Programme
(APRLP) initiative in Andhra Pradesh and the Bhoochetana initiative in
Karnataka have shown that soil nutrient mapping is the best entry point
activity to enhance productivity and livelihoods through soil-needbased
fertility management (Wani et al., 2011; Chander et al., 2013;
Sahrawat and Wani, 2013). This chapter therefore focuses on soil fertility
management issues and the need of soil nutrient mapping for
informed decisions..
