      The Fourth Industrial Revolution, commonly termed Industry 4.0, is transforming production and manufacturing through integration of advanced digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), industrial internet of things (IIoT), big data analytics, additive manufacturing, and advanced robotics. While much discussion has centered on potential economic impacts, Industry 4.0 also holds significant implications for sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. However, simply adopting technologies does not guarantee sustainability benefits, and improperly managed, they pose risks related to job losses, inequality, and rebound effects that must be addressed through integrative frameworks. Industry 4.0 and Sustainability will provide the first comprehensive, evidence-based perspective unifying technological, organizational, policy, and social considerations to strategically direct Industry 4.0 innovations towards improved sustainability across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. With applied case studies and integrated roadmaps spanning engineering, management, and policy, it fills a crucial gap in guiding Industry 4.0 deployments to accelerate progress on sustainable development goals.

      Gross Pathology Atlas: A Guide to Gross Specimen Evaluation is a novel reference dedicated to 'gross' images. Gross pathology is the branch of pathology that deals with the examination and diagnosis of diseases through the observation of organs, tissues, and bodily fluids with the naked eye, without the aid of a microscope. It involves the examination of specimens obtained during surgery, autopsy, or biopsy. This book serves as an essential tool for diagnosing diseases. By observing macroscopic features, pathologists can identify diseases or conditions affecting various organs and tissues for example, to detect tumors, inflammation, infections, and degenerative changes. Gross pathology specimens serve as invaluable teaching aids for medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals. They provide tangible examples of disease manifestations, facilitating the understanding of pathological processes. Moreover, gross pathology specimens are essential for research purposes, allowing scientists to study disease mechanisms, develop new treatments, and advance medical knowledge.
