There are many ideas about how the world should change to improve the lot of large portions of the population and many individuals, groups and organisations who are trying to put those ideas into practice. Development: The Basics is an absorbing introduction to those policies, practices and players in human development and addresses key questions including: Is development simply about alleviating poverty? Do development ideas work best at the global or local level? How can we achieve the goal of sustainable development? Do the outcomes always match the intentions?Featuring examples drawn from around the world, a glossary, timelines and suggestions for further reading this book is the ideal starting point for those new to the study of development.

Olive oil has remarkable significance in the human diet worldwide due to its immense health benefits and organoleptic properties. It is also a commodity with high commercial value, and hence its production is increasing yearly. As consumption grows and the interest of consumers in high-quality and authentic olive oil increases worldwide, scientific research on various aspects of olive oil has also increased. Most scientific research focuses on health benefits, analysis of chemical constituents, adulteration detection and authentication based on geographical area and cultivar. The results of the scientific efforts indicate that olive oil is an important research topic for the scientific community.


Despite available reviews and research articles in the literature, there is a shortcoming of the comprehensive research reviews on olive oil. Therefore, assembling the know-how on olive oil for food sustainability in a book is crucial. Olive Oil: New Trends &amp; Challenges presents various aspects of olive oil, including:


 Re-treatment and production

 Agronomic and environmental factors influencing the quality

 Analysis for sensory reasons, authentication, adulteration detection, and categorization

 Shelf-life and thermal stability

 Health benefits





The book concludes the with lessons learned and a vision for future work to ensure the quality and authenticity of olive oil. This is an essential reference in chemistry, food science and engineering and dietary science for various aspects of olive oil.

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

How can human flourishing arise from what the poet Mary Oliver called 'good work/ongoing'? In its attentiveness to the material, form and purpose of distinct, well-made things, craft epitomizes good work. In its disciplined, quiet giving over to the repetitions of tradition, craft is ongoing. Perhaps more than any other practice, craft work reveals the intimacy between a manifest sense of self and the imperative of its common expression. In a world broken into shuttered units, each separated from the other for the purpose of measured comparison and control, Robin Holt argues that craft work can produce the unassigned remainder that refuses being broken up: it generates its own sufficiency and joy.

This book analyses the right to water and sanitation at both the international level and national levels. At a national level the book examines the law in India relating to both recognition and realisation of the rights. The book considers the complex legal framework in place at the union and state level for the realisation of the rights.

As cities evolve at unprecedented speed and scale, traditional digital twins—virtual models of physical urban systems—fall short in capturing the dynamic and complex nature of urban life. This book bridges the gap between digital urban representations and the dynamic processes that shape our cities.Moving beyond conventional data and technological infrastructure, this work formulates a comprehensive framework for embedding urban dynamics and complexity into digital twins. It reimagines them as living systems that adapt, learn and evolve in real time, near real time and over the long horizon. Through integrated feedback loops between data, physical infrastructure, high-dimensional models and reduced-order approximations, digital twins are transformed into powerful tools for the modeling, simulation, prediction and proactive management of urban development.This book presents cutting-edge methods to learn, simplify and encode urban dynamics and complexity into digital twins—whether or not the underlying mechanisms are fully understood. It also addresses critical challenges such as scalability, uncertainty propagation, network sensing and data quality, and demonstrates how dynamic digital twins can be continually refined through new information and emerging insights.At the intersection of urban theory, artificial intelligence, machine learning and big spatiotemporal data, this book charts a new course for the modeling and governance of cities. It is a vital resource for researchers, practitioners and decision-makers across disciplines—inviting collaboration between academia, industry, government and professionals working on the frontlines of our ever-changing urban environments.Explore a bold vision for cities that can think, adapt and respond—one where digital twins become not just mirrors, but engines of transformation.
