Understanding Metabolic Diseases
A silent epidemic of metabolic diseases—including diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease—impacts millions. These conditions disrupt the body’s energy processing, leading to severe health consequences. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is key to combatting this silent threat.
The Mystery of Ball Lightning Revealed
This book explores a new phenomenon: self-confined circulating light. It explains the paradox of ball lightning and microworld anomalies, and shows how nuclear energy can be extracted from ordinary water. Based on over 80 published scientific articles.
This book shows that behavioural finance began not in the 1980s, but over 300 years ago. It offers the first comprehensive assessment of Joseph de la Vega’s Confusion of Confusions (1688), demonstrating it is the true precursor to modern behavioural finance.
Frederick Reinhardt arrived as US Ambassador to Vietnam during a critical time. He repaired the fragile relationship with Ngo Dinh Diem, restoring trust while overseeing pivotal events like the removal of the French, a new constitution, and Vietnam’s first national election.
This volume engages with how the idea of the human features in African societies and scholarship. Contributors are concerned with the urgent imperative of rescuing what it means to be humane in a world being pushed towards a dystopic future by climate change and fundamentalism.
Explore magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as powerful adsorbents for purifying water. This book provides an in-depth overview of MNP synthesis, properties, and applications in removing heavy metals and organic pollutants, enhancing water quality for environmental and human health.
This book explores the enduring myth of Antigone and her timeless power of resistance. It shows how subjectivity is forged in crisis, tracing the myth to its reconstruction in Kamila Shamsie’s work, where Antigone is reborn as Aneeka, a modern Muslim British woman.
This volume promotes innovation in research methodologies for science, mathematics, health, and environmental education. Chapters present new methods to address global challenges like climate change, exploring queer theory, AI, arts-based studies, and socioscientific approaches.
This book helps researchers select the right predictive model. It explains and compares traditional and data-driven models from a statistical viewpoint, with illustrations in R. Learn to handle model assumptions, outliers, and overfitting.
Zoonoses and Public Health
This book follows the One Health approach to zoonotic diseases, focusing on the main parasites transmitted from animals to humans. With contributions from renowned researchers, it covers key aspects like epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control.
A discussion on the changing nature of South Africa’s higher education sector, covering challenges like low enrollment and high dropout rates that rob the country of economic potential. A welcome addition for policy-makers and scholars.
Glycoscience
This book presents compact data in glycoscience, a developing field linking biology, chemistry, and medicine. It covers the structure, biosynthesis, and biological roles of carbohydrates, highlighting their connection to cancer, hereditary disorders, and other human diseases.
International scholars share diverse perspectives on discourse, translation studies, and education. This volume will enrich the reader’s worldview and provide a plethora of creative ideas for anyone interested in philology, literary translation, and university-level teaching.
Quining and Unquining Qualia
This book challenges the claim that qualia—our subjective sensations—are illusions. It proposes that qualia are essential aspects of consciousness that lie beyond science’s reach, and are what distinguish human experience from artificial intelligence.
Faith in Higher Education
This book examines the church-founded model of higher education as a promising solution to current challenges, especially in developing countries. Case studies reveal this model emphasises student wellbeing over profit and delivers relevant courses over easily marketed subjects.
Applications of Nuclear Materials
