This book is the first volume of two volumes on cyclodextrins published in the series Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. The use of thermal analyses for assessing cyclodextrin inclusion complexes is reviewed in chapter 4 by Daniel Hadaruga et al.

This book is the second volume of two volumes on cyclodextrins published in the series Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. Hiroshi Ikeda demonstrates in chapter 5 that chromophore-appended cyclodextrins are effective for chemosensors to detect organic molecules by fluorescence or absorbance changes.

This is the first volume on adsorption using green adsorbents and is written by international contributors who are the leading experts in the adsorption field.

The volume also includes detailed review of green adsorbents for removal of antibiotics, pesticides and endocrine disruptors and the use of pillared interlayered clays as innovative materials for pollutant removal.

This book presents advanced ecological techniques for crop cultivation and the chapters are arranged into four sections, namely general aspects, weeds, fungi, worms and microbes. Natural enemies of insect pests, also known as biological control agents, include predators, parasitoids, pathogens, and competitors.
