Forest Urbanisms
A radical redefinition of how humanity occupies the earth — through forests, agriculture, and settlement — and rearticulates environmental stewardship by intertwining ecologies and urbanisms, this publication brings together essays by scholars in forestry, urbanism and other disciplines, designers, practitioners and policy makers. It explores the multifaceted notion of forest urbanisms, including a conceptual framing essay; contributions from the sciences such as bioscience engineering, architecture, urbanism and public policy; contemporary forest urbanism projects and explorative essays that make tangible an agenda for the 21st century. With descriptions of both built and non-built projects from around the globe, the essays show how such projects substantiate a radical shift in humankind’s occupation of the world, where ecologies and urbanisms converge and agriculture, forests, and settlements are integrated. Forest Urbanisms extends growing research on a new nature–culture relationship, the necessity for trees in cities, and a rebalancing of ecology and urbanism.

Comparing Conviviality
In a world where difference is often seen as a threat or challenge, Comparing Conviviality explores how people actually live in diverse societies. Based on a long-term ethnography of West Africans in both Senegal and Spain, this book proposes that conviviality is a commitment to difference, across ethnicities, languages, religions, and practices. Heil brings together longstanding histories, political projects, and everyday practices of living with difference. With a focus on neighbourhood life in Casamance, Senegal, and Catalonia, Spain - two equally complex regions - Comparing Conviviality depicts how Senegalese people skillfully negotiate and translate the intricacies of difference and power. In these lived African and European worlds, conviviality is ever temporary and changing. This book offers a textured, realist, yet hopeful understanding of difference, social change, power, and respect. It will be invaluable to students and scholars of African, migration, and diversity studies across anthropology, sociology, geography, political sciences, and law.
Green Polymer Composites Technology
This book is a comprehensive introduction to "green" or environmentally friendly polymer composites developed using renewable polymers of natural origin such as starch, lignin, cellulose acetate, poly-lactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxylalkanoates (PHA), polyhydroxylbutyrate (PHB), etc., and the development of modern technologies for preparing green composites with various applications. The book also discusses major applications of green polymer composites in industries such as medicine, biotechnology, fine chemicals and engineering.

This thrilling volume is full of grisly tales as well as surprising scientific explanations for some werewolf anecdotes. Remarkable artwork, coupled with spooky fact boxes, aid in producing a truly eerie reading experience.
Human Immune System
The fast development in the field of nanotechnology has led to a high variety of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles find importance in every sphere of human lives and more so in the recent years have tremendous applications in the sector of biomedical clinical medicine as diagnostic, prognostic and imaging tools. Their risk to human and animal life as well as to the environment is still unclear. Therefore, the study of the impact of nanoparticles on human and animal life is important. Volume I highlights the impact of nanoparticles on the human immune system. While discussing the basic biology of the immune system, this book highlights the downstream effect of nanoparticles on the human immune system. Research studies on the development of better and more effective nanoparticles with more precise and accurate effects and with toxic minimal side effects are discussed in the book. Both volumes are also included in a set ISBN 978-3-11-065666-4.
