Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In Sociobiology of Indigenous Foods and Food Systems, Matthew Ogwu presents an integrative and richly interdisciplinary examination of Indigenous foodways as co-evolved sociobiological systems. The volume traces the profound ecological, cultural, and nutritional wisdom embedded in traditional food practices that have sustained human communities across diverse environments for millennia. Organized into four thematic sections, the book covers theoretical foundations of sociobiology and Indigenous knowledge, detailed case studies on iconic crops and foraging systems across Africa, the Americas, Oceania, and Asia, and functional insights into nutrition, medicine, and food symbolism. It further addresses contemporary issues of diaspora adaptation, intellectual property, bioprospecting, and policy frameworks affecting Indigenous food sovereignty.Drawing on anthropology, ecology, nutrition science, law, and Indigenous scholarship, Ogwu's work highlights both the resilience and vulnerability of Indigenous food systems in the face of globalization, climate change, and historical injustice. The book closes with a call for revitalizing Indigenous food systems as powerful pathways toward ecological sustainability, cultural renewal, and food justice. This timely and authoritative text offers vital guidance for academics, policymakers, activists, and anyone engaged in the intersections of food, environment, and cultural survival.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Understand hydrogen as an energy resource and its potential as a dynamic solution for a carbon-neutral economy Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be used to store, move, and deliver energy produced from other sources. It has the potential for high energy efficiency, significant environmental and social benefits, and economic competitiveness. Traditional energy resources will not be able to meet the growing energy demand, despite the advances in energy management and energy conservation-understanding how hydrogen energy can solve this problem is crucial. Hydrogen Energy: Principles and Applications provides the information needed by energy resource planners, scientists, engineers, and government officials to make informed energy-related decisions. Divided into three parts, the book opens with an introduction to various energy issues, sources, and regulations, including the basics of thermodynamics and fuel cells. The second part addresses the practical aspects of hydrogen energy, such as availability, distribution, extraction, processing, purification, transportation, transmission, and storage. The final section details the economics, energy-environmental interactions, and ethical and political considerations of the development and use of hydrogen energy, including discussion of investment and business contacts, energy option analysis and optimization, and future prospects. Covering the fundamentals of hydrogen energy with a thorough and accessible approach, the book: Equips readers with a well-rounded working knowledge of hydrogen energyCovers the latest technological advances, economic considerations, and the role hydrogen plays in a renewable energy economyOffers a pragmatic, real-world perspective rather than focusing on theoretical issuesContains nearly 50 illustrative examples ranging from elementary thermodynamic calculations to optimization applications using linear programming Hydrogen Energy: Principles and Applications is a must-read for those working in the energy industry, particularly environmental engineering and science professionals, as well as government officials, policymakers, instructors, and trainers involved in energy-related fields. …
