Life in Ancient Rome
From its legendary founding along the Tiber River to its fall in 476 A.D., Roman civilization was impressive, mighty, and enduring. Life in Ancient Rome traces the history of Roman achievement from Republic to Empire in such areas as art, warfare, language, government, law, and engineering. Great figures such as Julius Caesar and Hannibal, great architectural feats such as the Colosseum, as well as Roman mythology and the rise of Christianity are also featured.
Life in Ancient Mesopotamia
In between the fertile banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what was called the cradle of civilization, the first known civilization on earth evolved. Life in Ancient Mesopotamia describes the lives of ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, and explores the gifts they brought to the world, including the wheel, plow, and sailboat. Great lawmakers such as Hammurabi, the architectural beauty of ziggurats and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, along with the invention of cuneiform writing are also featured.
The Palgrave Handbook of Bottom-Up Urbanism
Who shapes our cities? In an age of increasing urban pluralism, globalization and immigration, decreasing public budgets, and an ongoing crisis of authority among designers and planners, the urban environment is shaped by a number of non-traditional stakeholders. The book surveys the kaleidoscope of views on the agency of urbanism, providing an overview of the various scholarly debates and territories that pertain to bottom-up efforts such as everyday urbanism, DIY urbanism, guerilla urbanism, tactical urbanism, and lean urbanism. Uniquely, this books seeks connections between the various movements by curating a range of views on the past, present, and future of bottom-up urbanism. The contributors also connect the recent trend of bottom-up efforts in the West with urban informality in the Global South, drawing parallels and finding contrast between social and institutional structures across the globe. The book appeals to urbanists in the widest sense of the word: those who shape, study, and improve our urban spaces.
Innovations in Engineering and Food Science
As the global population continues to grow, the depletion of Earth's resources poses a significant challenge in ensuring food security for current and future generations. This book addresses this pressing issue by presenting innovative strategies and methods to reduce food loss, enhance production, identify alternative ingredients, and digitize the food system. It explores topics like the circular economy, cellular agriculture, artificial intelligence in food production, and novel sources of ingredients like microalgae and insects. Engineers play a pivotal role in translating ideas into tangible products and services that enhance human lives. Innovations in Engineering and Food Science is a ...
Metamaterial Technology and Intelligent Metasurfaces for Wireless Communication Systems
Metamaterials and metasurfaces are enabling modern 5G/6G wireless systems to achieve high performance while maintaining efficient costs and sizes. In the wireless industry, transmission lines play a fundamental role in the development of guided wave elements, antennas, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, and sensors whose efficiency may be enhanced using metamaterials. Additionally, a metamaterial absorber can solve the bandwidth issue of the internet of things (IoTs) backhaul network. Metasurfaces are also potential candidates for implementing reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) due to their special wireless communication capabilities. Metamaterial Technology and Intelligent Metasurfaces for Wireless Communication Systems compiles and promotes metamaterials research and sheds light on how metamaterials and metasurfaces will be used in the 5G era and beyond. Covering topics such as active and passive metamaterials, metasurfaces-inspired antennas, and metamaterials for RFID and sensors, this book is ideal for researchers, students, academicians, and professionals.
BIOTECHNOLOGY - Volume XI
This Encyclopedia of Biotechnology is a component of the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Biotechnology draws on the pure biological sciences (genetics, animal cell culture, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, embryology, cell biology) and in many instances is also dependent on knowledge and methods from outside the sphere of biology (chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, information technology, biorobotics). This 15-volume set contains several chapters, each of size 5000-30000 words, with perspectives, applications and extensive illustrations. It carries state-of-the-art knowledge in the field and is aimed, by virtue of the several applications, at the following five major target audiences: University and College Students, Educators, Professional Practitioners, Research Personnel and Policy Analysts, Managers, and Decision Makers and NGOs.

The Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi, the father of nation has a multi-dimensional personality- a politician, leader, statesman, journalist, writer, barrister, philosopher, social scientist and activist. He was born on 2nd October, 1869 during colonial period and died on 30th January, 1948 while India was independent. Between these two different perspectives of his life, he formulated and developed his political and philosophical ideas which he himself experienced in South Africa and India. Now the time has come to be reviewed/re-examined whether his political ideas and philosophy are relevant in the 21st Century, characterized by the problem of armed clashes, terrorism and the moral crisis of humanity. His ideas...
