• Sommario/riassunto: The Hmong first arrived in Australia in 1975 from war-torn Laos, settling in Australia as a small population of under 2,000. In Australia, as in other resettlement countries, the Hmong have been active in founding local and national associations, and there is alarm about the younger generation's loss of traditional cultural heritage. The Australian Hmong is a small community, but a dynamic and rapidly changing one. This collection of interdisciplinary papers-ranging across anthropology and linguistics, musicology, material culture, gender issues and sociology-gives the general reader an introduction to this fascinating and relatively unknown community as well as an understanding of the wide range of issues that research on the Hmong in Australia has covered to date. Both editors have extensive experience ; of Hmong populations in Asia and bring this experience to bear on a project that deals solely with the Hmong in an Australian context. The contributors to the book represent virtually all the serious researchers who have devoted their attentions to the Hmong in Australia.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book reports on the results of a 6-year international collaboration between four universities such as the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), the Universidad de Chile, the Universidad Austral de Chile and the Universidad de Concepcion (Chile) on the topic of Eco-Industrial Development, i.e. on how industry can learn from ecosystems in order to increase its sustainability. On the one hand, this book presents the findings of the projects run by the network of researchers from Chile and Germany, including chapters on renewable energy production, circular economy, sustainable agriculture, and social and environmental impact assessment, among others. On the other hand, it highlights the importance of international academic collaboration in order to achieve sustainable transformations in industry, while also providing insights into the particular challenges and opportunities of eco-industrial development in Chile. All in all, this book provides both academics and professionals with a timely snapshot on principles and ; best practices for industrial sustainability and sustainable development.
