Book Description
In the face of escalating environmental challenges such as climate change, air and water pollution, and natural disasters, traditional approaches to understanding and addressing these issues have yet to be proven sufficient. Academic scholars are compelled to seek innovative solutions that marry digital intelligence and natural ecosystems. Reshaping Environmental Science Through Machine Learning and IoT serves as a comprehensive exploration into the transformative potential of Machine Learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to address critical environmental challenges. The book establishes a robust foundation in ML and IoT, explaining their relevance to environmental science. As the narrative unfolds, it delves into diverse applications, providing theoretical insights alongside practical knowledge. From interpreting weather patterns to predicting air and water quality, the book navigates through the intricate web of environmental complexities. Notably, it unveils approaches to disaster management, waste sorting, and climate change monitoring, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between digital intelligence and natural ecosystems. This book is ideal for audiences from students and researchers to data scientists and disaster management professionals with a nuanced understanding of IoT, ML, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Book Description
This open access book is dedicated to exploring methods and charting the course for enhancing engineering education in and beyond 2023. It delves into the idea that education, coupled with social connections, is indispensable for a more profound comprehension of the world and the creation of an improved quality of life. The book serves as a conduit for incorporating complex problem-solving into engineering education across various formats. It offers a structured approach for tackling complex issues, comparing an array of techniques for managing complexity within the realm of engineering education. Moreover, the book scrutinizes several complex case studies derived from the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, it explores intricate problem-solving and curriculum change case studies specific to engineering education from Harvard University, the University of Technology Sydney, and Aalborg University.

Book Description
Educators have a key pedagogical role in promoting early years outdoor play in natural environments. Active outdoor play involving risk-taking has been linked to positive effects on social health and behaviour, and encourages physical activity and motor skill development. At the same time, it has been recognised that opportunities for children to experience outdoor learning have been reduced in recent decades due to the impacts of technology, urbanisation and social change. This book brings together renowned authors, with research and professional experience in a range of disciplines, to provide a comprehensive guide to developing positive and engaging outdoor learning environments in the early years. Part 1 looks at pedagogy and outdoor environments, and considers the value of risk-taking and developing a young child's appreciation of the natural world. Part 2 examines the key principles involved in the design and planning of these spaces, such as applying the relevant equipment standards and regulations. Part 3 explores how educators can develop an understanding of children's own perspectives on outdoor spaces, including promoting agency and recognising the importance of private playspaces. Part 4 examines different cultural perspectives on outdoor play, including Indigenous approaches, while Part 5 considers the range of experiences possible beyond purposefully-designed spaces, from visiting nature reserves to exploring urban environments. 'A much needed and comprehensive resource for pre-service teachers and educators of young children that encompasses philosophies, theories, pedagogy and practice for purposeful engagement of children in all kinds of outdoor spaces in Australia.' - Dr Kumara Ward, Director of Academic Program: Early Childhood Education, Western Sydney University 'This seminal work will provide a shared language and framework for educators, policy developers, community builders and researchers in exploring the justifications for engaging children in well considered outdoor learning places and spaces.' - Leanne Grogan, School of Education, Outdoor and Environmental Studies, La Trobe University.

Book Description
Ecological Public Health demonstrates that although public health medicine is useful and honourable, a radical rethink is required and is, indeed, starting to emerge. It aims to revitalize thinking about public health in terms of ecology, and calls for a concerted combined effort from existing disciplines to bring about reform.
