This edited volume investigates how refugee communities in the Middle East have adapted to secure their livelihoods within the informal economy. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and professionals from across Middle East studies, refugee studies, informal labor economics, and development studies.

This comprehensive, multidisciplinary and expert-led book provides insight into the most current and insightful topics within food and beverage tourism practice and research, elaborated by leading researchers and practitioners in the field.

Presents the current research on space-based navigation models and the contents of spaces used for seamless navigation based on 3D spaces. Case studies illustrate theories, approaches, and models, including space classification and reconstruction, unified space-based navigation model derivation, path planning, and comparison of results.

This book is a socio-legal study of counter-piracy. It takes as its case the law enforcement efforts after 2008 to suppress piracy off the coast of Somalia.

This book highlights the characteristics, aims, and applications of bionanotechnology as a possible solution for sustainable management and bioremediation of environmental pollutants. It covers remediation of toxic pollutants, removal of emerging contaminants from industrial wastewater, and so forth.

This book explores the connections between traditional Islamic education, rising religious intolerance, religious attitudes to gender, campaigns for curricula innovation and modernisation, and politics and society in Indonesia.

This volume offers valuable anthropological insight into urban Africa, covering a range of cities across a continent that has become one of the fastest urbanizing geographic areas of the globe.

This book looks at alternative ways of analyzing traditional and contemporary architectural design and building practices in South Asia with a special focus on India. It showcases how collaborative projects between architects and local communities can lead to sustainable and equitable practices in architecture.

The book is written lucidly and comprehensively. It deals with all aspects of physiology of peanut and analytically describes the cellular structure, morphology, biochemistry, molecular and genomic mechanisms for improvement of genotypes traits.

Plants are autotrophs and sessile, while animals are heterotrophs and motile. Sessility has imposed on plants 94% hermaphroditism, 23% selfing, 3% polyploidization and 39% clonality, in comparison to < 5% herma-phroditism, < 1% selfing and 2% clonality in motile animals.

Research on the East Slavs in the medieval period has considerably changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. This is important work, providing a much-needed counterbalance to studies of western Europe in the period, which has been the main focus of study, with the lands of the East Slavs relatively neglected.

This book presents a detailed theoretical and experimental treatment of real-time techniques for continuous monitoring of vibrating structures. Focus on real time algorithms, data reduction methods and inverse techniques in this book enable rapid identification of the structural parameters, affected by damage or causes.

Drawing on original empirical research from Singapore and Hong Kong, Gendered Labour, Everyday Security and Migration interrogates women migrant domestic workers' experiences of work and workplace exploitation.

This book provides insights into the complex behaviour of microbial communities and identifies enzymes/metabolites and their degradation pathways via OMICS route. It describes the application of microbes/derivatives for bioremediation of toxic compounds. It highlights existing technologies and industrial practices, and real-life case studies.

Proposed book explains the concept and characteristics of drylands, desert and desertification, land degradation, wastelands and the concept of ecosystem services including processes involved, their characteristics, physics and indicators with mapping, monitoring and assessment of methods involved.

This book addresses the basics of ecotoxicity assessment, interaction of the abiotic or biotic factors with the novel chemical entities, and the fate of the natural organic matter upon interaction with new chemical entities. It includes models for ecotoxicity studies, and high throughput approaches including OMICS.

Drones, GPS, mapping, satellite images, GIS and WebGIS are geographic information technologies that assist in the evolution of healthy agroecosystems and facilitate the agroecological transition. Precision conventional precision farming technologies to reduce environmental impacts in the yield paradigm can take other directions.

This volume contributes to the return to nature movement that is very much in vogue in contemporary European societies, by examining the place of food and eating in the "rewilding" process.

Smart proxy models provide an opportunity to replicate numerical simulations with very high accuracy and can be run on a laptop within a few minutes. This book focuses on smart proxy modeling and teaches readers to develop smart proxy models using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

This book examines Bangladesh's ascendancy in socio-economic terms and the prospects of Bangladesh overcoming the challenges to become a higher middle-income nation by 2030.
