Unconventional Oilseeds and New Oil Sources: Chemistry and Analysis
is presented in three parts, with each section dedicated to
different types of oil sources. Part One deals with plants
(vegetable, herbs, shrubs), such as Hibiscus, Mexican Poppy,
Cucumber, Squashes, Sesame, etc. Part Two presents unconventional

and Catunaregam nilotica), and Part Three deals with new oils found
in insects, as in the water melon bug and sorghum bug. This book
will be of interest to researchers in oilseed production, research
and development personnel, food scientists, plant breeders, product
development personnel, and government agency personnel involved in
the production, transportation, distribution, and processing of
oilseeds.
In this compelling companion to New York Times bestseller Amal
Unbound, Omar contends with being treated like a second-class
citizen when he gets a scholarship to an elite boarding school.
When Omar gets a scholarship to the prestigious Ghalib Academy,
it’s a game changer. It will give him, the son of a servant, a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a better future—and his whole
village is cheering him on. Omar can’t wait to dive into his
classes, play soccer, and sign up for astronomy club—but those
hopes are dashed when he learns first-year scholarship students
can’t join clubs or teams; instead, they must earn their keep by
doing chores. Even worse, it turns out the school deliberately
“weeds out” scholarship kids by requiring them to get grades
that are nearly impossible. Omar is devastated to find such odds
stacked against him, but the injustice of it all motivates him to
try to do something else that seems impossible: change a rigged
system.

Higher education has been a source of opportunity and achievement
for migrants and refugees around the world. It has provided them
with the tools and knowledge to pursue careers and build lives in
their new communities, but it has also made them targets for
discrimination. Colleges and universities are often ill-equipped to
address the unique educational needs of their diverse student
populations, and many times, the very institution that was meant to
be a safe haven for them becomes their greatest barrier to success.
Today, we are witnessing a crisis of higher education for migrants
and refugees. Global Perspectives on the Difficulties and
Opportunities Faced by Migrant and Refugee Students in Higher
Education focuses on the formal and informal educational
opportunities that are available to migrant students, as well as
the barriers that prevent them from fully accessing these
opportunities. The book also discusses how the experiences of
migrant and refugee students in higher education have evolved and
the impact that this evolution has had on their educational
experiences. Finally, the book considers the ways in which higher
education institutions have responded to the educational needs of
migrant and refugee students and the role that the education
industry has played in this response both formally and informally.
Covering key topics such as immigration, educational needs, and
displaced students, this premier reference source is ideal for
administrators, policymakers, scholars, researchers, academicians,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
