The anaerobic process is considered to be a sustainable technology
for organic waste treatment mainly due to its lower energy
consumption and production of residual solids coupled with the
prospect of energy recovery from the biogas generated. However, the
anaerobic process cannot be seen as providing the 'complete'
solution as its treated effluents would typically not meet the
desired discharge limits in terms of residual carbon, nutrients and
pathogens. This has given impetus to subsequent post treatment in
order to meet the environmental legislations and protect the
receiving water bodies and environment. This book discusses
anaerobic treatment from the perspective of organic wastes and
wastewaters (municipal and industrial) followed by various
post-treatment options for anaerobic effluent polishing and
resource recovery. Coverage will also be from the perspective of
future trends and thoughts on anaerobic technologies being able to
support meeting the increasingly stringent disposal standards. The
resource recovery angle is particularly interesting as this can
arguably help achieve the circular economy. It is intended the
information can be used to identify appropriate solutions for
anaerobic effluent treatment and possible alternative approaches to
the commonly applied post-treatment techniques. The succeeding
discussion is intended to lead on to identification of
opportunities for further research and development. This book can
be used as a standard reference book and textbook in universities
for Master and Doctoral students. The academic community relevant
to the subject, namely faculty, researchers, scientists, and
practicing engineers, will find the book both informative and as a
useful source of successful case studies.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

marketing discipline both in academia and the professional
industry. The Handbook of Research on Contemporary Consumerism is
an essential reference source that provides an in-depth
understanding on the various aspects and issues of consumerism and
reveals the critical success factors and conceptual and theoretical
frameworks of these concepts from recent contexts and perspectives.
Additionally, it examines the impact of identity on marketing and
branding from the consumerist perspective, discusses consumerism as
a source of innovation and product development, and provides
insights on consumerism and profitability. Featuring research on
topics such as circular economy, digital marketing, and social
media, this book is ideally designed for practitioners, managers,
marketers, academic researchers, and students.
The modern era of business has prompted an increased focus on the

Consumerism in Business and Marketing: Concepts and Practices
features research on diverse topics on consumerism in the global
marketplace, focusing on the ways in which businesses can improve
their relationships with customers as well as analyse and influence

< p=""> This highly informative and carefully presented book
focuses on the fields of ergonomics/human factors and discusses the
future of the community vis-a-vis health problems, productivity,
aging, etc. Ergonomic intercession must be seen in light of its
effect on productivity because ergonomic solutions will improve
productivity as the reduction of environmental stressors, awkward
postures and efforts lead to a reduction in task execution time.
The book provides promising evidence that the field of ergonomics
continues to thrive and develop deeper insights into how work
environments, products and systems can be developed to meet needs,
demands and limitations of humans and how they can support
productivity improvements. Some of the themes covered are
anthropometry and workplace design, biomechanics and modelling in
ergonomics, cognitive and environmental ergonomics, ergonomic
intervention and productivity, ergonomics in transport, mining,
agriculture and forestry, health systems, work physiology and
sports ergonomics, etc. This book is beneficial to academicians,
policymakers and the industry alike. ^

Speeches In The United States And Canada, May And June, 1950, By
The Prime Minister Of Pakistan. With An Appendix.
This book offers fresh and exciting new directions of inquiry into
the highly contentious issue of conflict resolution in South Asia.
By shifting its gaze from a politics of division mired in
ethno-nationalisms into a healing and restorative focus, the author
moves the dialogue forward into the realm of community, healing,
and shared governance. The book analyzes the major constitutional
and political missteps that have led to the current situation of
violence and distrust in countries such as India and Pakistan,
keeping the focus on Jammu and Kashmir. This monograph will appeal
to a wide range of audiences including academics, researchers,
graduate students interested in South Asian politics, development,
trauma studies, and peace and conflict studies.
Since 1989, religious fundamentalism and exclusionary
nationalism in Jammu and Kashmir have generated political and
social turmoil and eroded the ethos and culture of Kashmir. These
forces are responsible for the silencing of dissenters, economic
deprivation, lack of infrastructure, mass displacements, political
anarchy, and the repression of women. Women in Kashmir constantly
grapple with both the devastating effects of Indian occupation and
Pakistani infiltration and their own complicated histories. Nyla
Ali Khan, the granddaughter of the first Prime Minister of Jammu
and Kashmir, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, gives an insider's analysis
of the effects of nationalist, militant, and religious discourses
and praxes on a gender-based hierarchy. This cross-disciplinary
project shows the attempted relegation of Kashmiri women to the
archives of memory and reveals the women's powerful and persistent
endeavors to rise from the ashes of immolated identities.
