Climate-Resilient Crops: Challenges and Opportunities offers a clear and concise guide to the development of crops that can withstand the increasing threats of climate change. With rising global temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events, this book highlights innovative approaches in breeding, biotechnology, and crop management to meet future food demands.Covering a range of important crops—including cereals, oilseeds, fiber, and vegetables—the book integrates current research on stress tolerance, genetic resource utilization, root systems, and the role of plant metabolites. It also explores cutting-edge tools such as omics and genome editing for crop improvement.Designed for students, young researchers, and agricultural professionals, this book delivers practical insights into how science can contribute to climate-smart agriculture. By bridging gaps between disciplines and highlighting new breeding strategies, it serves as a valuable resource for those working to build sustainable food systems in an era of climate uncertainty.

This two-volume book offers a comprehensive guide to anesthetic management and critical care management in neurosurgical and neurological patients. This first volume focuses on neuroanesthesia. The book begins with basic information on neuroanesthesia, extensively discussing the anatomy of the brain and spine, physiology and relevant pharmacology. Special considerations for pregnant, pediatric and geriatric patients are covered in separate chapters. Each neurosurgical condition is discussed in a standard format relevant for neurosurgical patients, and each chapter, prepared by experts in the field, includes ample illustrations and flowcharts. Information is also provided on the latest evidence-based approaches, robotic surgery and gene therapy. The book offers a valuable resource for all residents, fellows and trainees in the fields of neuroanesthesia and anesthesia; it will also benefit practitioners and consultants.
