‘Homegardens’ are integrated tree–crop–animal production systems, often established on small parcels of land surrounding homesteads, and primarily found in tropical environments. This multi-authored volume contains peer-reviewed chapters from the world’s leading researchers and professionals in this topic. It summarizes the current state of knowledge on homegarden systems, with a view to using this knowledge as a basis for improving both homegardens and other similar multistrata agroforestry systems.

Continuing the tradition of International Dyke Conference, this book is largely based on contributions from the IDC7 but also includes some chapters by invitation. It focuses on mafic dyke swarms and related associations: e.g. links with sills, kimberlites, syenites, carbonatites, and volcanics, discussing the following themes: (i) regional maps/reviews of dyke swarms and related units, (ii) the role of giant dyke swarms in the reconstruction of supercontinents/paleocontinents, (iii) mapping of dykes using remote sensing techniques, (iv) geochronology of dyke swarms, (v) petrology, geochemistry and petrogenesis of dykes, (vi) emplacement mechanism of dykes, (vii) dyke swarms and planetary bodies, and (viii) links to mineralization and resources.

The aim of this book is to give an overview of the most important aspects of physiological and biochemical basis for metal toxicity and tolerance in plants.

The rapid growth of technological developments on the internet has led many companies to adapt their businesses to the digital ecosystem and implement new methods and techniques to improve the users’ experiences and their analytical strategies. Moreover, in the past few years, the digital ecosystem has been chosen as the main channel used by consumers for the purchase of goods and services. As a result, digital marketing and online advertising have become the main strategies used by companies in their marketing actions. Advertising can be designed and shown considering users’ interests based on what they visit or where they go. That implies that the user experience is improved as long as they receive personalized adverts focused on what they were curious or concerned about. Thus, techniques such as artificial intelligence (AI), data mining, or business intelligence have allowed companies to act accordingly in real-time without user perception. Big Data Marketing Strategies for Superior Customer Experience compiles and studies the major practices and case studies of big data marketing in recent years. In this digital era, this book can be used as a sourcebook on study cases focused on digital marketing strategies as well as the identification of new technologies that will help the development of initiatives and practices focused on marketing and data sciences. Covering topics such as customer satisfaction, collective intelligence, and sentiment analysis, this premier reference source is an essential resource for students and educators of higher education, marketers, innovators, business leaders and managers, entrepreneurs, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
