    Abstract: The Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh has witnessed important changes linked to its geo-strategic importance, the rapid development of means of communication with other parts of India, socio-economic transformation processes and the effects of climate change. The sixteen chapters document these key changes, ranging from melting glaciers and extreme weather events to the exponential increase in infrastructure, tourist and military activities. The book examines the impact these changes are having on the environment and on the socio-economics and identity of Ladakhi communities. The book also attempts to evaluate the likely direction of future changes, identify some of the main environmental challenges faced by Ladakh in the 21st century, and provide perspectives for sustainable development of the high mountain region.

Sensory evaluation of hemp textiles by consumers as a prospective market research method for new textile products.
    Abstract: This contributed volume discusses how consumer awareness of textile sustainability can lead to a more sustainable textile supply chain. From the initial purchase of a textile to its care and longevity, consumer behaviors are at the core of consumption associated with the textile industry. Making consumers aware of the environmental impacts of the clothing products they buy help them to choose the best alternative which has the lowers footprints and also enable them to help the entire textile sector to become sustainable. In addition, making them aware of environmental footprints of textile products from cradle to grave, make them aware of how best they can take care of their products during use and disposal phases and how they can help to preserve the planet with their earnest efforts to reduce the environmental impacts in their boundary, i.e. the use and disposal phases.

    Details
    Keywords: Sustainability. ; Water. ; Hydrology. ; Mining engineering. ; Sustainability. ; Water. ; Mining and Exploration.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Materials Used -- Chapter 3. Methodology -- Chapter 4. Results and Discussion. .
    Abstract: This book provides accurate and integrated information about land resources especially with the accelerated progress of information technology to help Egypt and similar countries to achieve the country sustainable development goals in the field of agriculture and natural resources. The Egyptian National sustainable development plans mainly aim to conserve the arable lands in the Nile Delta and the Nile Valley, in addition to the oases and desert fringes. Moreover, increasing land productivity is a vital national goal for filling the food gap. Consequently, providing accurate and integrated information about land natural resources using the recent technologies such as satellite data/images and geoinformatics techniques. Such information would be a base for planning, decision making and research needs all over the world due to the importance of Egypt as the biggest and leading country in the MENA regions. The book provides land natural resources database as a platform, upon which additional thematic information can be added in the future to serve multi approached sustainable development. The book highlights the usage of digital information in monitoring urban planning and encroachment, in addition to soil and land capability classification. Moreover, networks of irrigation/drainages, railways, and utilities are added for a wide management range. Various available information systems were employed to initiate the targeted land resources database (e.g., ArcGIS, ERDAS IMAGINE and ENVI). Data of previous soil survey projects were the basis for the created digital database including High Dam Soil Survey, Soil map of Egypt and Land Master Plane. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was elaborated using SRTM space images, in addition to spot heights and contour lines derived from the topographic maps (scale 1:50,000) produced by the Egyptian Survey Authority (ESA). The resulted thematic layers were incorporated in the created GIS land resources database. The book is a unique and a great source of information and knowledge for all researchers around the globe particularly for MENA regions. Researchers, graduate students, the policy planners and decision making will find this book very useful for them. are most people who could benefit from the book. We believe the book will be an added value to the existing information and knowledge.

    Keywords: Sustainability. ; Aesthetics. ; Building materials. ; Graphic arts. ; Sustainability. ; Aesthetics. ; Building Materials. ; Graphic Design.
    Description / Table of Contents: The basalt fiber -- The production of basalt fiber -- Uses and fields of application -- Sustainability -- The italian scenario -- Ethics + Aesthetics -- Research paths -- The texture -- The volume -- The light -- Proposals.
    Abstract: This book presents a design research on the basalt fiber, a natural mineral material with important characteristics, and investigates the material's properties, production techniques, and most common uses, while also delving into aspects yet to be improved. The work presents a part of original research in between art and design, in which concepts, prototypes, and ideas are proposed, aimed at the enhancement of basalt fiber also from an esthetic point of view and not only from a performance one. By working on its perceived qualities and creative and formal potential, it is possible to support and extend the use of this material in many areas of design, including product, exhibit, cultural industries, and fashion. Considering that environmental regulations are increasingly stringent, the use of basalt fiber may in some cases be more advantageous than other popular technical fibers, both because of its own performance characteristics and specifically because of its inherent sustainability.

    Abstract: The book presents a rich collection of research studies on the theory and practice of corporate integrated reporting (IR) in South Asia. South Asia is emerging to compete in the world marketplace and one of fast economically growing regions to contribute to the global economy. As the region’s economic development accelerates, balancing economic and environmental development appears as a key sustainability challenge for governments, investors, consumers, and local communities. Companies in South Asian region are therefore increasingly challenged to reduce their environmental impacts and to contribute to sustainable development. This book includes valuable contributions of advanced research, concepts, applications, developments, and case studies on corporate IR and sustainability accounting in South Asia and the roles of different professional accounting bodies to strength corporate sustainability and build capacity in the South Asian region.
