All coastal areas are facing a growing range of stresses and shocks, the scale of which now poses threats to the resilience of both human and environmental coastal systems. Responsible agencies are seeking better ways of managing the causes and consequences of the environmental change process in coastal zones. This volume discusses the basic principles underpinning a more integrated approach to coastal management and highlights the obstacles that may be met in practice in both developed and developing countries. Successful strategies will have to encompass all the elements of management, from planning and design through financing and implementation, as highlighted in this book.

This book includes basic knowledge and understanding on the characteristics of aerosols over the continent and oceanic regions, their composition, residence times, sinks and size distributions, and their effects in the radiative transfer and climate of Earth.

The impact of globalization has made students to cross the boundaries to pursue their dreams in the field of education. During their journey of education, most of them come across a number of challenges. Intercultural communication difficulty is one of them. In this book, an effort has been made to study about the intercultural communication difficulties faced by international students in India and also to examine the factors responsible for these problems. The present study is purely based on the primary data. Pearson Correlation Analysis, Independent Samples T-Test, Multiple Response Analysis etc. are applied to analyze the data. Statistical calculations and computations are done through SPSS statistical package. With the help of the study, the institutes and universities will not only be able to understand the kind of difficulties these foreign students are facing but also the reasons of the same. And hence they may frame the strategies to eradicate these problems which will surely increase the satisfaction level of the students and they will spread a positive word-of-mouth communication regarding the services of the institute in their respective countries.
