Fields of Change
This volume contains fifteen papers given at the International Workshop on African Archaeobotany in Groningen in 2003. Several papers deal with the domestication history and related aspects of specific plants, including wheat (Triticum), rice (Oryza), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), fig (Ficus), cotton (Gossypium), silk-cotton (Ceiba pentandra) and baobab (Adansonia digitata). Other contributions discuss the exploitation of woody vegetations, members of the sedge family (Cyperaceae) and the botanical composition of mummy garlands. Three papers present the subfossil plant remains from Egyptian sites: Pharaonic caravan routes through the Theban Desert, Predynastic Adaïma and Napatan to Islamic Qasr Ibrim. The last contribution presents an update inventory of the ancient plant remains present in the Agricultural Museum (Dokki, Cairo). The book covers a wide range of countries and includes Namibia, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Mauritania, Canary Isles, Libya and Egypt.

Conservation Strategies Used to Maintain the Biodiversity, this book talks about the conservation strategies used to maintain biodiversity at the genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. It is a small initiative to create awareness in society of the causes of biodiversity loss and the cautions and strategies required. Many strategies are primarily highlighted in this book, including tree plantation, aesthetic value, ex-situ, and in-situ conservation, manufacturing of eco-friendly products, the role of sacred groves in biodiversity conservation, control of invasive species, and sustainable utilization of environmental resources.
High-performance Sustainable Materials and Structures
This book underscores the idea of harnessing the sustainable designs and materials in nature and integrating them into the field of engineering to design innovative materials and structures with multifunctional properties targeting defense, automotive, aerospace, electronics, nuclear, healthcare, energy, sports, packaging, etc. to offer improved safety, reliability, performance, durability, sustainability, and functionality. The concept of sustainability involves the understanding of how nature has evolved solutions to various challenges over millions of years and applying these principles to design innovative materials and structures with multifunctional properties. This book provides a thorough examination of the methods and techniques used in developing sustainable materials and structures, highlighting their potential for multifunctional applications. The book delves into the expansion of our understanding in this field, which is accompanied by novel synthesis and processing methods. These methods and techniques incorporate sustainable strategies, to create innovative materials and systems to offer a wide range of properties and functions, making them highly attractive for various applications in different fields of advanced technology. In addition, these materials and structures can be tailored to have specific properties and functions, such as self-healing capabilities, high strength-to-weight ratios, and enhanced energy absorption which are the prime requirements for the researchers looking for lightweight materials and structures.
