      The Catchment to Coast Conundrum in Tanzania: The Past, the Present, and the Future of Water Resources and Anthropogenic Activities is an essential book addressing the interactions between river basins and coastal and marine environments in the West Indian Ocean region (WIO). Key issues include water and sediment quality degeneration due to pollution, physical alteration, destruction of habitats, and changes in freshwater flows and sediment loads. The WIO region is experiencing rapid population growth, causing land-based activities to exert pressure on the marine environment, degrade critical coastal habitats, and alter freshwater flow and sediment loads into the WIO.The book emphasizes the importance of science-based ecosystem-centered management of river basins for the sustainability of ecosystems in the WIO region. It discusses increased human population pressure and inappropriate land uses in upper catchments as major causes of environmental degradation. This comprehensive guide aims to provide students and researchers with essential knowledge about the area and raise awareness on the significance of river restoration and conservation in river basin management, including coastal areas.

      Fetal Programming: The Connection between Nutrition and Disease is a novel resource on the intestinal microbiota of a newborn, how it is extremely prone to changes influenced by the method of delivery, diet, use of antibiotics and probiotics by the mother, environment, socioeconomic status of the mother, geographical location, infections with pathogenic microorganisms, and many other factors. All of these factors can lead to dysbiosis, which creates predispositions for the development of disease from childhood to adulthood. This period of the newborn’s life could be crucial for interventions on the intestinal microbiota in order to reduce the risks of developing chronic diseases by correcting dysbiosis. The book describes the root of all disease-- oxidative stress and improper nutrition, and how it specifically effects a woman during pregnancy at a time when oxidative stress naturally increases. In recent years, it has become more and more evident that nutrition is crucial for the proper development of the immune system of the fetus, and its disruption leads to disease due to improper nutrition during pregnancy.
