"Natural Resources and Society: Understanding the Complex Relationship Between Humans and the Environment" is a study of the dynamic interplay between humans and the natural world. The book explores the complex relationship between human societies and the environment, examining how human actions can both impact and be influenced by natural resources.

The book covers a broad range of topics, including the history of human resource use, the role of natural resources in economic development, and the environmental impacts of resource extraction and consumption. It also considers the...

This book gathers a large amount of recent research results on this topic to better understand the static creep micro–macro fracture mechanics in brittle solids (e.g., glass, ceramic, concrete, ice, and rock). To be precise, this is about to explore the effects of the external factors of stress paths, water content, seepage pressure, dynamic disturbance, thermal treated temperature, and the internal factors of crack angle, size, recovery, and nucleation coalescence on the static creep fracture mechanical properties in brittle solids. This book provides important theoretical support in...

The textbook book discusses the basics required to understand various application of solar energy. It covers basic mathematical tools required to analyze any solar thermal (ST), photo-voltaic (PV), and photo-voltaic thermal (PVT) system. The book provides a platform for undergraduate, postgraduate, researchers, and entrepreneurs to optimize the basic parameters for best performance of any system based on solar energy. The book includes about 500 examples that the reader can use to better understand the subject.
