Adaptive Phytoremediation Practices: Resilience to Climate Change discusses current phytoremediation practices under an ever-pressing need for environmental remediation due to increasing pollution in a changing climate. Phytoremediation is increasingly relevant due to plants' high effectiveness and sustainability during remediation and the ability of potential phytoremediation plants to adapt to changes in climate. Changing climatic conditions cause various biotic and abiotic stresses in plants and thereby negatively affect a plant's establishment, growth, and yield. Therefore, the integration of suitable climate-resilient plants and adaptive remedial practices along with proper agro-biotechnological interventions is of paramount importance to mitigate the rapidly growing pollution.

This book is an important reference for environmental scientists, particularly those working in pollution management and remediation, forming an up-to-date collection of phytoremediation practices that provide sustainable solutions as a holistic approach for carrying out phytoremediation under changing climatic conditions.

Provides up-to-date research and understanding on how to design, refine, and implement adaptive phytoremediation practices Focuses on enhancing resilience in plants toward climate change and explanations of the characteristics of resilient plants for adaptive phytoremediation practices in a changing climate Presents methods and solutions for adapting phytoremediation practices to climate change

From the pre-Islamic Jahilia, early modern Sikri and Florence, to postcolonial Bombay and Karachi, cities have played a pivotal role in Salman Rushdie’s fiction. This book focuses on spatial concerns and urban imaginaries in his works, challenging the dominant metropolitan discourse on cities under globalization. Rushdie’s works prominently feature cities of the Global South while they explores in great detail the figure of the postcolonial migrant. This book analyses the dynamic cities described in Midnight’s Children (1981), The Satanic Verses (1988), The Moor’s Last Sigh (1995) and The Ground Beneath Her Feet (1999) and discusses the idea of the global-urban. It examines how these works explore alternative geo-histories, the idea of global homes, and the idea of cities as sites of conflict and contestation, where histories and memories are embedded and reimagined.This book will be useful for scholars and researchers of literature, urban studies, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, sociology, Indian English, and South Asian literature.

This International Conference aimed to provide a platform for bringing out research and innovative ideas to shape education for the future of the built environment in the context of emerging technologies and environments and the National Education Policy. The conference, served as an important platform for reflection, dialogue, and action. It aimed to explore intersections, bringing together educators, practitioners, researchers, and students from around the world to engage in a dialogue that transcends traditional boundaries and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, to explore how architectural education can and should evolve in response to the global challenges. The themes of this conference invited deliberation on established pedagogies, new technologies, and the pressing need for sustainability in design. It encouraged perspectives on the role of architects in society and the forms of knowledge and skills that future professionals would require to shape a better, more resilient world.

The book discusses cancer and the potential use of phytochemicals as cancer therapeutics. It begins with the basics of cancer, including the definition, types, etiology and molecular mechanisms involved, before discussing the fundamentals of diagnosis, treatment and associated problems as well as remedial measures. Since cancer is not a single disease, and the mechanisms of carcinogenesis are different for different cancers, it examines the genes and proteins involved in carcinogenesis, and signal transduction pathways for each individual cancer type. Further, the book reviews the latest research on phytochemicals for cancer treatment, highlighting their anti-cancer properties, sources, structure, active biomolecules and probable mechanisms of action, and describing their biochemical properties in the context of cancer prevention and treatment.

This book discusses the contribution of genetics and epigenetics alterations in the initiation, development, and recurrence of breast cancer. It also reviews the potential of translating the epigenetic alterations into diagnosis, prognosis, and breast cancer therapy. The initial chapters explore the epigenetics, etiology, and conventional treatment strategies for breast cancer. The subsequent chapters discuss the genetic landscape and cover three main epigenetic modulation mechanisms; histone modification, DNA methylation, and miRNA silencing. Further, the book explores the potential of epigenetic drugs in treating breast cancer. Lastly, it covers the phytochemicals targeting epigenetic modulators in breast cancer treatment. This book is an essential source for researchers and practitioners interested in exploring the potential of epigenetics modulators in breast cancer treatment.​
