Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests cover thirty-one percent of the world’s land surface, provide habitats for animals, livelihoods for humans, and generate household income in rural areas of developing countries. They also supply other essential amenities, for instance, they filter water, control water runoff, protect soil erosion, regulate climate, store nutrients, and facilitate countless non-timber forest products (NTFPs). The main NTFPs comprise herbs, grasses, climbers, shrubs, and trees used for food, fodder, fuel, beverages, medicine, animals, birds and fish for food, fur, and feathers, as well as their products, like honey, lac, silk, and paper. At present, these products play an important role in the daily life and well-being of millions of people worldwide. Hence the forest and its products are very valuable and often NTFPs are considered as the ‘potential pillars of sustainable forestry’. NTFPs items like food, herbal drugs, forage, fuel-wood, fountain, fibre, bamboo, rattans, leaves, barks, resins, and gums have been continuously used and exploited by humans. Wild edible foods are rich in terms of vitamins, protein, fat, sugars, and minerals. Additionally, some NTFPs are used as important raw materials for pharmaceutical industries. Numerous industry-based NTFPs are now being exported in considerable quantities by developing countries. Accordingly, this sector facilitates employment opportunities in remote rural areas. So, these developments also highlight the role of NTFPs in poverty alleviation in different regions of the world. This book provides a wide spectrum of information on NTFPs, including important references. We hope that the compendium of chapters in this book will be very useful as a reference book for graduate and postgraduate students and researchers in various disciplines of forestry, botany, medical botany, economic botany, ecology, agroforestry, and biology. Additionally, this book should be useful for scientists, experts, and consultants associated with the forestry sector.

Book excerpt: Welcome to "Mastering the Building Envelope: A Comprehensive Guide to Designing for Energy Efficiency and Thermal Comfort." This book is a culmination of years of experience, research, and innovation in the field of sustainable architecture and construction. The building envelope, often overlooked or underestimated, plays a critical role in the performance of a structure. It serves as the interface between the interior and exterior environments, influencing energy consumption, occupant comfort, and overall building sustainability. As our society increasingly prioritizes environmental stewardship and energy conservation, the importance of optimizing the building envelope has never been greater. In this book, we aim to provide architects, engineers, builders, and students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices involved in designing and constructing high-performance building envelopes. From selecting appropriate materials to implementing advanced energy-efficient technologies, each chapter delves into essential concepts and practical strategies to achieve optimal results. Throughout these pages, you will find: Detailed explanations of building envelope components, including walls, roofs, windows, and doors, with a focus on their role in energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Insights into passive and active design strategies aimed at reducing energy consumption and enhancing occupant well-being. Guidance on assessing performance and compliance with energy codes and standards, as well as tools and resources for evaluation. Case studies highlighting successful projects from around the world, showcasing innovative approaches and lessons learned. Discussions on emerging trends and future directions in building envelope design, including net-zero energy buildings and climate resilience. Our goal is not only to inform but also to inspire. By embracing the principles outlined in this book, you have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the built environment, creating spaces that are not only environmentally responsible but also comfortable, healthy, and enjoyable for occupants. We hope that "Mastering the Building Envelope" serves as a valuable resource in your journey toward sustainable design and construction. Together, let us strive to create buildings that not only stand the test of time but also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast-growing and local to some of the poorest communities in the tropics and subtropics, bamboo holds huge potential for climate change mitigation, innovative construction and job creation, but the material is rarely used for more than simple construction and household use. Modern Engineered Bamboo Structures collects the papers presented at the third International Conference on Modern Bamboo Structures (ICBS2018, Beijing, China, 25-27 June 2018). The overarching theme of the book is ‘Enhancing Cooperation for Green Development through Bamboo’s Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals’. The contributions focus on how to realize bamboo’s huge potential in a number of areas: sustainable commodity production, disaster-resilient construction, poverty alleviation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, land restoration and biodiversity protection. Modern Engineered Bamboo Structures recognizes bamboo’s various benefits, and aims at ministers, policymakers and representatives from research institutes, development organizations, NGOs or UN bodies and the private sector.
