Some businesses engage in "greenwashing" or "shared washing," creating a misleading eco-friendly image to deceive consumers into thinking their services are environmentally friendly. As people become more aware of their environmental impact, scrutiny of these deceptive practices in the shared economy has increased. This phenomenon skews public perception, making companies seem more environmentally conscious than they actually are.Eco Illusions: Unmasking Greenwashing in the Sha...

Cyber security is a key focus in the modern world as more private information is stored and saved online.

This book contains current knowledge and the most recent developments in the field of halophyte biology, ecology, and potential uses. Halophytes are characterised as plants that can survive and complete their life cycle in highly saline environments. This book explores the adaptive mechanisms and special features of halophytes that allow them to grow in environments that are unsuitable for conventional crops and considers their role as a source of food, fuel, fodder, fibre, essential oils,...

This book describes the hydrogen fuel generation from water via photoelectrochemical process. It elaborates the theory and fundamental concepts of photoelectrochemistry to understand the photoelectrochemical process for water splitting to generate hydrogen fuel. The book further deliberates about the hydrogen as a futuristic chemical fuel to store solar energy in the form of chemical bonds and also as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. The book establishes the need for hydrogen fuel ...
