It is a privilege to introduce the reader to this book, as I believe that it will make a signi?cant contribution to, given the dif?culties in the knowledge of the Indian Ocean, developing cooperation in the Indian Ocean region. There have been numerous failed efforts at regional cooperation in different fora in the Indian Ocean. As a result of the land-based orientation of the people in the region, the importance for countries to develop the power to govern the sea has largely been ignored. The maritime approach taken by Manoj Gupta to the Indian Ocean as a region in international relations offers a timely and critical assessment of the potential for regional cooperation and ocean governance. The political leadership in the region can no longer ignore the need for coop- ation in maritime affairs in the Indian Ocean. This book enriches the literature on Indian Ocean issues as it argues convincingly that the security of nations, economic well-being of the people and health of the Indian Ocean cannot be divested from one another. All are fundamentally dependant on the ability of the countries in the region to individually and collectively exert the power to govern the sea.

The book provides a detailed study and review on magnesium composites and includes recent studies on nanoparticulate reinforced magnesium composites, metastable composites and syntactic composites highlighting the improvement in properties compared with conventional micron-size ceramic-reinforced magnesium composites. It provides a comprehensive review on magnesium composites focusing on the addition of nanoreinforcements, which can substantially improve the properties of magnesium without the negative effect of reduced ductility and increased weight that are typically associated with the addition of micron size reinforcements. Magnesium is the lightest structural metal and has tremendous potential to replace aluminum leading to improved weight savings and machinability. Compared to polymer composites, magnesium composites can be repaired using existing metal repair techniques whereas polymer composites require sophisticated non-destructive testing techniques to detect underlying cracknetwork and extensive removal of materials to repair the damaged component. Due to increasing emphasis on light weighting to reduce carbon emissions and with the recent approval of magnesium usage for aircraft seats in 2015 the amount of work with magnesium metals and alloys and thereby this research area expanded significantly.
