Coastal Environmental Quality and Marine Biodiversity Assessment, volume II
Large amounts of pollutants and natural disasters have been released into coastal and marine waters, wreaking havoc on the ecosystem and ecology. Pollution and habitat loss caused by humans have had and continue to have a significant impact on worldwide coastal and estuarine ecosystems. More than 80% of all marine pollution originates on land, with the majority of it coming from industrial, agricultural, and urban sources. Coastal and marine pollution is caused by human activities such as offshore oil and gas extraction and maritime oil transportation. Many of the world's estuaries and coastal zones are experiencing eutrophication, hypoxia, and other negative consequences as a result of anth...
Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation in Tropical Islands
Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation in Tropical Islands provides comprehensive information on climate change, biodiversity, possible impacts, adaptation measures and policy challenges to help users rehabilitate and preserve the natural resources of tropical islands. While biodiversity and climate change of tropical islands has previously received less attention, it is ironically one of the most vulnerable regions in this regard. The core content of the work derives largely from the ideas and research output from various reputed scientists and experts who have recorded climate change impacts on aquatic and coastal life in tropical regions. Contributors have direct working experience wi...
Ponniyin Selvan - The Killer Sword - Part 3
When I started translating Kalki’s Ponniyin Selvan in 2010, blissfully unaware of the depth and the magnitude of the work, several people tried to dissuade me. One potential publisher even lured me with an offer to translate another work of Kalki. Reason: there were already many translations around. Yes, there were. But most of them, though done with utmost sincerity, failed to create the emotional bond with the readers which the original author had effortlessly done in the Fifties when Ponniyin Selvan was serialised in a popular magazine. I did not rush up. I did not have a target or deadline. I let the translation work progress in its own pace. That explains the six long years I spent fo...
Sustainable Machining and Green Manufacturing
This book aims to be a source for understanding sustainable machining and green manufacturing. The goal is to gain new ideas and encourage readers to utilize fewer natural resources to reduce pollution. Some examples include cutting material needs, recycling and reusing materials, and promoting environmentally-friendly practices such as dry machining and eco-friendly cutting fluids. By reducing pollution and waste, more environmentally-friendly practices will help encourage a more environmentally conscious future. Ideas evaluated in this book The investigating of synergy between natural fibers and epoxy composites that enhance mechanical properties Explores the potential of sustainable reinforcements in polymer composites Uncovers the critical role of manufacturing methods in determining the mechanical prowess of biofiber-reinforced composites Details the importance of environmentally friendly conscious manufacturing processes Discusses topics on precision machining, additive manufacturing, and optimizing manufacturing processes

Polymer Composites, Macro- and Microcomposites
The first systematic reference on the topic with an emphasis on the characteristics and dimension of the reinforcement. This first of three volumes, authored by leading researchers in the field from academia, government, industry, as well as private research institutions around the globe, focuses on macro and micro composites. Clearly divided into three sections, the first offers an introduction to polymer composites, discussing the state of the art, new challenges, and opportunities of various polymer composite systems, as well as preparation and manufacturing techniques. The second part looks at macro systems, with an emphasis on fiber reinforced polymer composites, textile composites, and polymer hybrid composites. Likewise, the final section deals with micro systems, including micro particle reinforced polymer composites, the synthesis, surface modification and characterization of micro particulate fillers and flakes as well as filled polymer micro composites, plus applications and the recovery, recycling and life cycle analysis of synthetic polymeric composites.
