    Modern Wastewater Treatment: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Solutions provides a detailed exploration of contemporary wastewater management practices. In response to increasing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures, this book emphasizes sustainable and innovative treatment methods for industrial effluents and their broader ecological impacts. It covers fundamental principles alongside advanced technologies such as green remediation, microbial applications, and nanotechnology, and highlights their roles in improving treatment efficiency and environmental safety. It also examines the complex interactions between waste, human health, and microbial biofilms. The book brings together theory with real-world applications to develop effective, environmentally conscious wastewater solutions for today’s challenges. The book is organized into chapters that progress logically from foundational concepts to advanced topics. It begins with an overview of industrial wastewater characteristics and sustainable treatment solutions, followed by green remediation techniques and the role of microbes in biological treatment. Later chapters focus on cutting-edge technologies, including nanotechnology in water purification, and evaluate the environmental impacts of wastewater treatment. Waste valorization aligned with circular economy principles is investigated and a comparative analysis of treatment methods is offered. The final chapters examine microbial biofilms in treatment processes, rounding out a holistic and forward-thinking approach to wastewater management. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and industry professionals in environmental science and engineering. Its global perspective ensures relevance across diverse geographic and industrial contexts, making it a timely and valuable addition to the field. By integrating theory with real-world applications, the book develops effective, environmentally conscious wastewater solutions for global challenges. Ancillary materials include PowerPoint slides, an image bank, lab activity guides, and interactive notebooks, which enhance learning and facilitate practical application for students and instructors alike.

    Encyclopedia of Agriculture and Food Systems 3rd Edition, Six-volume set addresses important issues by examining topics of global agriculture and food systems that are key to understanding the challenges we face. Questions it addresses include:Will we be able to produce enough food to meet the increasing dietary needs and wants of the additional two billion people expected to inhabit our planet by 2050?Will we be able to meet the need for so much more food while simultaneously reducing adverse environmental effects of today’s agriculture practices?Will we be able to produce the additional food using less land and water than we use now?Climate change mitigation and adaptationBiodiversi... aspectsTechnology/in... versus globalResilienceThes... are among the most important challenges that face our planet in the coming decades. The broad themes of food systems and people, agriculture and the environment, the science of agriculture, agricultural products, and agricultural production systems are covered in more than 150 separate chapters of this work. The book provides information that serves as the foundation for discussion of the food and environment challenges of the world. An international group of highly respected authors addresses these issues from a global perspective and provides the background, references, and linkages for further exploration of each of topics of this comprehensive work.
