Environmental Science/Climate Change & Mitigation
The increasing environmental crises caused by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and population growth have pushed the planet’s ecosystems to critical tipping points. Human-caused pollution of the air, water, and soil threatens not only biodiversity but also human health, food security, and economic stability. Traditional environmental remediation methods, such as physical, chemical, and biological techniques, have provided some relief, but they are frequently inefficient, costly, and unsustainable. This new book, Nano-Enabled Environmental Remediation Strategies, explores how nanotechnology’s unique capabilities provide innovative solutions to these persistent environmental challenges.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
