      Driven by the realities of global climate change, compound stress events—such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and flooding—now frequently affect crops within a single season, posing significant risks to global food security and agricultural sustainability. Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants examines how plants coordinate distinct physiological, biochemical, and molecular pathways to adapt under complex stress conditions, contrasting these mechanisms with those triggered by individual stress factors.Chapters cover key processes including redox regulation, hormonal signaling, transcriptional control, ion transport, and metabolic adjustments. The volume also highlights advances in breeding and biotechnology—from marker-assisted selection and genome editing to nanotechnology and multi-omics approaches—alongside practical strategies for improved stress management, such as optimized nutrient use, microbial interventions, and climate-adaptive agronomy.Comprehensi... in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, this reference book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, plant scientists, and agricultural professionals by offering the strategic insight needed to anticipate, rather than react to, the evolving challenges of plant-environment interactions.

      The Physics of Cosmology aims to adopt the many valuable lessons gleaned from the most recent observations measuring, stretching, dissecting and collating the myriad pieces of data informing our overall view of the cosmos, in order to comprehensively update the fundamental underpinnings of theoretical cosmology. This book presents modern advances in the field, especially in the face of much higher precision measurements at all redshifts, such as in the early Universe, where the James Webb Space Telescope has been revolutionizing our view of cosmic evolution. These discoveries reveal significant defects in the theoretically unmotivated assumptions characterizing the spacetime metric used to interpret the data, which this book analyzes methodically and self-consistently to arrive at a more complete and accurate standard model of the Universe. From chapters on the Early Universe to the Semi-Classical Universe, The Physics of Cosmology is a valuable new resource that showcases the principal players and contributions in this field. Characterized by clarity of material and coverage of current topics, students and researchers working in general relativity and astrophysics will find it a useful introduction to the most up-to-date research in cosmology. Given how much the field has evolved over the last decade, and how rapidly it continues to change, the book's material is original and timely to aid in students’ comprehension and instructors’ lessons.
