The book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of
phytochemicals as efficient cancer therapeutics. Over the last few
decades there has been a paradigm shift from conventional cancer
therapeutic approaches to alternative and complementary medicinal
approaches especially using phytoconstituents from natural
products. As such, the book provides an in-depth understanding of
phytochemicals targeting diverse signaling pathways involved in
cancer along with the evaluation of the cancer modulatory effects
of phytochemicals. It also highlights the potential modulatory
effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the
cancer-associated cellular pathways and their interactions with the
phytochemicals. Further, it analyzes the drug delivery methods,
bioavailability of active components of botanicals, and toxicity of
phytochemicals. Lastly, the book elucidates the 3D cell culture and
animal models systems to analyze the beneficial effects of
phytochemicals in cancer.

This book turns critical feminist scrutiny on national climate
policies in India and examines what transition might really mean
for marginalized groups in the country. A vision of ‘just
transitions’ is increasingly being used by activists and groups
to ensure that pathways towards sustainable futures are equitable
and inclusive. Exploring this concept, this volume provides a
feminist study of what it would take to ensure just transitions in
India where gender, in relation to its intersecting dimensions of
power, is at the center of analysis. With case studies on climate
mitigation and adaptation from different parts of India, the book
brings together academics, practitioners and policy- has relevance
far beyond India’s borders, as India’s attempt to deal with its
diverse population makes it a key litmus test for countries seeking
to transition against a backdrop of inequality both in the global
North and South. This volume will be of great interest to students
and scholars of climate policy, gender studies, sustainable
development and development studies more broadly.

This book provides an overview of the ecological indicators of
landscape dynamics in the context of geographical landscape
integration. Landscape dynamics depicts every change that occurs in
the physical, biological, and cognitive assets of a landscape. To
understand and interpret the complex physical, biological, and
cognitive phenomena of landscapes, it is necessary to operate
conceptually and practically on a broad range of spatial and
temporal scales. Rapid land use changes have become a concern to
environmentalists and planners because of their impacts on the
natural ecosystem, which further determines socioeconomic dynamics.
In this regard, the book discusses case studies that share new
insights into how landscape patterns and processes impact small
creatures, and how small creatures in turn influence landscape
structure and composition. In turn, the relevant aspects of land
use and land cover dynamics are covered, and the multi-faceted
relationship between the substrata and ecological community is
highlighted. The book is unique in its focus on the application of
spatial informatics such as automatic building extraction from
high-resolution imagery; a soil resource inventory for meeting the
challenges of land degradation; hydrological modeling; the temporal
variation analysis of glacier area and the identification and
mapping of glacial lakes; morphometric analysis of river basins;
and the monitoring and modeling of urban sprawl, among other
features.
This book intends to bring together and integrate the subject
matter of water quality. The book covers aspects of water related
to climate change, emerging aspects of engineering sciences,
bio-geochemical sciences, hydro geochemistry, river management and
morphology, social sciences, and public policy. The book covers the
role of disruptive innovations in water management, policy
formation and impact mitigation strategies. The book includes lab
results as well as case studies. It provides recommendations and

Emerging Aquatic Contaminants: One Health Framework for Risk
Assessment and Remediation in the Post COVID-19 Anthropocene
highlights various sources and pathways of emerging contamination,
including their distribution, occurrence, and fate in the aquatic
environment. The book provides detailed insight into emerging
contaminants' mass flow and behavior in various spheres of the
subsurface environment. Possible treatment strategies, including
bioremediation and natural attenuation, are discussed. Ecotoxicity,
relative environmental risk, human health risk, and current
policies, guidelines, and regulations on emerging contaminants are
analyzed. This book serves as a pillar for future studies, with the
aim of bio-physical remediation and natural attenuation of biotic
and abiotic pollution.
