Human Trafficking: Global History and Perspectives argues that, far from being a recent development, human trafficking is rooted in the history of the human condition and has only been amplified by globalization. Using a multidisciplinary approach that traces the historical roots of human trafficking in global history, the chapters explore case studies from different parts of the world to show that human trafficking is not only a global phenomenon but a localized enigma. The contributors contend that the causes, and thus, the solutions, are rooted in local and regional social, cultural, political, and economic conditions of victims. The case studies include global, regional, and local examples to analyze the complex causes and effects of human trafficking as well as the legal ramifications.

The search for alternative energy sources is un avoidable for the fact that fossil fuels which remains the world's energy sources are depleting at a faster rate and at the same time causing ecological and environmental problems. Biogas could therefore be an alternative that provides energy security and environmental sustainability. The success of any Biogas plant lies solemnly on the adopted design methodology and for this reason many failures were reported from Biogas plants due to poor design. In this book, a good design criteria is highlighted and effects of seeding and temperature being important kinetic parameters affecting the production of Biogas, were checked and determined using cow dung. Temperature is an important parameter that keeps a Biogas plant as economical as possible while seeding on the other hand initiates the anaerobic digestion within a short period of time.
