Singh analyses the influence of Xi's 'Chinese Dream' on China's
foreign relations and security postures. Xi Jinping's rise has led
to a paradigm shift in many aspects of China's domestic and
international politics. A key element of this has been the
ideological vision shorthanded as the 'Chinese Dream', combining
elements of nationalism, Confucian ideology, and economic
expansionism. Singh evaluates the various changes in China's
nominally communist ideology in the post-Mao era, with an emphasis
on the implications for China's economic and security relations
with other countries. He particularly focusses on China's approach
to South Asia and the Indian Ocean Region, key elements of China's
strategy. An insightful guide to understanding the direction of
China's foreign and security policy, and especially its impact on
India-China relations.

Environmental change is affecting the world's agricultural
productivity. This is coupled with an increase in population:
according to the United Nations Department for Economic and Social
Affairs, the global population is estimated to reach 9.7 billion by
2050. Therefore, the current situation requires that we develop
climate-smart technologies to improve crop productivity to sustain
the ever-rising global population. Current-day farmers are
introducing a considerable amount of agrochemicals to enhance crop
productivity. Indiscriminate agrochemical application has altered
not only the soil's physic-chemical and biological properties but
also affected human health through food chain contamination.
Cyanobacteria, under these changing environmental conditions, may
help to resolve the problem significantly without changing the
natural soil properties. In spite of their well-known stress
tolerance potential, most of the cyanobacterial stress management
and signaling pathways are yet to be fully characterized.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore cyanobacterial
metabolism under stress as well as their regulatory pathways to
exploit them for sustainable agriculture. In recent decades, the
application of cyanobacteria has attracted scientists because of
uniqueness, better adaptability, and synthetic products. Diverse
cyanobacterial communities with the ability to fix atmospheric
nitrogen, together with their photosynthetic properties, have
demonstrated their application under field conditions. Several
cyanobacterial species have thus been exploited to enhance soil
fertility, mitigate biotic and abiotic stress, and contamination
management. Cyanobacterial Lifestyle and its Applications in
Biotechnology has been designed to discuss different aspects of
cyanobacterial physiology with the aim of helping to provide a
better understanding of advanced cyanobacterial molecular biology
and their metabolism to uncover the potential of cyanobacteria in
the tailoring of stress smart crops for sustainable agriculture.
Chapters include valuable information about the role of
cyanobacteria in the evolution of life, cyanobacterial
photosynthesis, stress-tolerant cyanobacterium, biological nitrogen
fixation, circadian rhythms, genetics and molecular biology of
abiotic stress responses.
Expanding Horizon of Cyanobacterial Biology discusses the different
aspects of cyanobacteria cyanobacterial application, providing a
better understanding of cyanobacterial metabolism. Chapters deal
with cyanobacteria applications and explore how to exploit
cyanobacterial metabolism for industrial applications. Sections
cover cyanobacterial applications for the production of
nanoparticles, cyanobacterial diversity, and the characterization
of different assemblages such as cyanolichens and cyanobacterial
endophytes, along with their ecological, morphological and
physiological aspects. In addition, bioactive compounds and their
applications are explored. Increasing attention has been paid by
scientists across the globe to Cyanobacteria as they are ubiquitous
microbes and, undoubtedly, an important organism in terms of carbon
as well as nitrogen fixation. However, the research on these
organisms is limited in terms of their diversity and distribution
across the globe.

Land and Labour in Indian Agriculture: Discourses on Growth and
Equity presents empirically grounded analytical essays on principal
concerns of the agrarian question in India. It brings together
important contributions from eminent experts focusing on
agricultural and rural development, land and labour, and
policymaking. Looking at agricultural development as a means of
improving the quality of life in rural areas, the essays capture
shifts not only in policymaking but also in ground realities and
explain why the rural crisis persists in India. The editor's
introductions put in perspective the essays on the evolution of the
agrarian discourse, policy deliberations, and performance and
trends in rural development. The series 'Social Change in
Contemporary India' brings together key texts published in the
prestigious journal Social Change, from 1971 till present times.
These writings, most of which are considered canonical, address
important issues in health, education, poverty and agriculture with
special focus on disadvantaged groups. These writings will help
readers identify key points in the history of policymaking in India
and major discourses and debates and their impact.
