Environmental remote sensing plays a critical role in observing key hydrological components such as precipitation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration and total water storage on a global scale. As water security is one of the most critical issues in the world, satellite remote sensing techniques are of particular importance for emerging regions which have inadequate in-situ gauge observations. This book reviews multiple remote sensing observations, the application of remote sensing in hydrological modeling, data assimilation and hydrological capacity building in emerging regions.

This book focuses on the National College Entrance Exam (NCEE), an important measurement of education quality in China, from both education economics and education policy perspectives.

Misunderstanding of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has tremendously jeopardized the application and popularization of TCM. This book illustrated the evidence of effective practice of TCM, shedding light on the development of therapeutic methods of now so-called "incurable disease."
