Pembangunan dunia yang begitu pesat telah menyebabkan peningkatan pencemaran alam sekitar, terutamanya pencemaran udara yang telah memberikan pelbagai kesan negatif. Sehubungan ini kawalan pencemaran udara perlu diusahakan dan dipertingkatkan untuk mencegah pembebasan bahan pencemar berbahaya ke dalam atmosfera. Pengetahuan tentang bahan pencemar, konsep metereologi dan isu pencemaran udara dan iklim sejagat semestinya perlu difahami terlebih dahulu, diikuti kaedah pengukuran kadar pembebasan bahan pencemar serta perkembangan teknologi terkini bagi merealisasikan usaha ini. Senario pencemaran udara ini juga perlu dilihat daripada aspek undang-undang dan peraturan kawalan udara. Buku Pengenalan Kepada Pencemaran Udara ini amat sesuai dijadikan rujukan dan panduan para pelajar, jurutera dan mereka yang berminat tentang masalah dan kawalan pencemaran udara. Gaya penyampaian buku yang ringkas namun padat sememangnya menjadi hasrat penulis agar memudahkan pemahaman pembaca. Kes kajian bahan pencemar daripada sektor tenaga, iaitu arang batu turut dibincangkan untuk memberi gambaran sebenar tentang situasi yang berlaku.

Modern medicine has reached a point where the patient is not treated as a biopsychosocial-spiritual being but rather is seen as a virtual identity consisting of laboratory findings and images. More focus is placed on relieving the symptoms instead of curing the disease. Mostly, patients are turned into lifetime medication-dependent individuals. New medicines are needed to overcome the side effects, complications, resistance, and intolerance caused by pharmacological and interventional therapies. In hopes of drug-free and painless alternative treatments with fewer complications, there has been a trend to revisit traditional methods that have been dismissed by modern medicine. Traditional medicine has to be reevaluated with modern scientific methods to complement and integrate with evidence-based modern medicine.

The seventh edition of Models of Teaching is written to be the core of the theory/practice aspect of the K-12 teacher education program. It covers the rationale and research on the major models of teaching and applies the models by using scenarios and examples of instructional materials. Because it deals with the major psychological and philosophical approaches to teaching and schooling, Models of Teaching provides a direct link between educational foundations and student teaching. Therefore, the book can provide substantial support to programs taking a "reflective teaching" or constructivist approach.
