Free Download Tobias Zumbraegel, "Political Power and Environmental Sustainability in Gulf Monarchies"
English | ISBN: 9811945004 | 2022 | 304 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This book offers a new perspective about the Gulf Arab states entering a post-oil era by looking at the political factors behind the green transformation. It discusses the recent ‘environmental enthusiasm’ in the oil- and gas-rich Gulf monarchies by asking how political power can be constituted through advocating environmental sustainability. While hydrocarbon-wealthy Gulf monarchies have been viewed as the globe’s ‘hydrocarbon powerhouse’ with an immense ecological footprint, efforts towards sustainability and environmental protection measures are increasingly monitored.

Free Download Azamal Husen, "Plant Performance Under Environmental Stress: Hormones, Biostimulants and Sustainable Plant Growth Management"
English | ISBN: 3030785203 | 2021 | 620 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Global climate change is bound to create a number of abiotic and biotic stresses in the environment, which would affect the overall growth and productivity of plants. Like other living beings, plants have the ability to protect themselves by evolving various mechanisms against stresses, despite being sessile in nature. They manage to withstand extremes of temperature, drought, flooding, salinity, heavy metals, atmospheric pollution, toxic chemicals and a variety of living organisms, especially viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects and arachnids and weeds. Incidence of abiotic stresses may alter the plant-pest interactions by enhancing susceptibility of plants to pathogenic organisms. These interactions often change plant response to abiotic stresses.

Free Download Johannes Müller, "Perspectives on Socio-environmental Transformations in Ancient Europe "

Free Download Managing Environmental Risks through Insurance: Legal and Economic Aspects by Katarzyna Malinowska, Dorota Maśniak
English | PDF (True) | 2024 | 401 Pages | ISBN : 3031476018 | 7.7 MB
This book identifies the role of insurance in a comprehensive system for managing environmental risks at the local, regional and global level. National and international legal instruments regulating environmental protection, especially aspects like pollution, are not precisely reflected in insurance concepts intended to cover environmental risks. As such, there is a need to identify environmental risks and to propose a taxonomy of environmental risks for various types of insurance coverage. The authors refer to the issues of liability in environmental protection, the scope of insurance coverage and comment on specific issues the importance of which has been noticed by the legislator or insurance practice.

Free Download Élodie Giroux, "Integrative Approaches in Environmental Health and Exposome Research: Epistemological and Practical Issues"
English | ISBN: 3031284313 | 2023 | 20 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Research on the relationship between health and the environment in a postgenomic context is increasingly aimed at understanding the various exposures as a whole, simultaneously taking into account data pertaining to the biology of organisms and the physical and social environment. Exposome research is a paradigmatic case of this new trend in environmental health studies.
