Onion Tears
Khadeejah is a hard-working and stubborn first-generation Indian woman who longs for her beloved homeland and often questions what she is doing on the tip of Africa. At 37, her daughter Summaya is struggling to reconcile her South African and Indian identities, while Summaya’s own daughter, eleven-year-old Aneesa, is a girl who has some difficult questions of her own. Is her mother lying to her about her father’s death? Why won’t she tell her what really happened? Gradually, the past merges with the present as the novel meanders through their lives, uncovering the secrets people keep, the words they swallow, and the emotions they elect to mute. For this family, faintly detectable through the sharp spicy aromas that find their way out of Khadeejah’s kitchen, the scent of tragedy is always threatening. Eventually, it will bring this family together. If not, it will tear them apart.
Environmental Management Technologies
Environmental Management Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities details the environmental problems posed by the various types of toxic organic and inorganic pollutants discharged from both natural and anthropogenic activities and their toxicological effects in environments, humans, animals, and plants.

Features of the book: · Provides state-of-the-art information on pollutants, their sources, and deleterious impacts on the environment · Elucidates the recent updates on Emerging Pollutants (EPs) in pharmaceutical waste and personal care products · Discusses the various physico-chemical, biological, and combination treatment systems for sustainable development · Details recent research findings in the area of environmental waste management and their future challenges and opportunities
Climate Change and Ecosystems
The global population is projected to increase by 3.3 billion from 6.7 billion in 2008 to 10 billion in 2100. As a result, soil degradation and desertification are growing due to the increasing demand for food, feed, fiber, and fuel on finite soil resources. The problem of global food insecurity may be further worsened by the threat of global warming. Climate change is showing its impacts in terms of increasing temperatures, variable rainfall, and an increase in climate-related extremes such as floods, droughts, cyclones, sea-level rise, salinity, and soil erosion. The agriculture sector is the most sensitive to climate change because the climate of a region/country determines the nature and...
Reasserting International Islam
A ready reference on the intergovernmental Islamic organizations, this volume contains a wealth of information on Islamic organizations, especially the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference). The author brings a refreshing objectivity and a balanced approach to a subject that is wide open to zealous and unbridled rhetoric. This book will serve as a necessity to researchers.
