Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 34: Date Palm for Food, Medicine and the Environment
暫譯: 可持續農業評論 34：棗椰樹的食用、醫療與環境價值

本書是來自跨學科科學領域專家的卓越貢獻，包含全面、深入且最新的研究與評論。它描述了棗樹在食品、醫藥和環境領域的應用。棗樹是最古老的栽培樹木之一，其果實在全球已經成為數百年的飲食主食。棗肉含有膳食纖維和易於消化的糖類（70%），主要是葡萄糖、蔗糖和果糖。它們還含有對我們身體重要的維生素，如生物素、硫胺素、核黃素、抗壞血酸和葉酸。棗樹果實在民間療法中被用於治療各種傳染病、癌症和免疫調節活性。棗核和棗樹葉是自由且豐富的生物質。因此，將農業生物質廢料轉化為活性碳，用於飲用水淨化、廢水處理、染料處理以及從水溶液中去除金屬離子，將為農產品增值，提供解決環境問題的方案，同時降低廢物處理的成本。

He obtained his M.Sc and Ph.D Degree in Analytical chemistry from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India in 2002 and 2007, respectively. He has vast research experience in the multidisciplinary fields of Analytical Chemistry, Materials Chemistry and Environmental Science. He hold^5000 citations with a Google Scholar H-Index of >44. He has successfully run several research projects funded by National plan for Science and Technology (NPST) and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He is the editor/editorial member of several reputed Journals like Scientific Report (Nature); Process Safety & Environmental Protection (Elsevier); Journal of Water Process Engineering (Elsevier) and International Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health (MDPI). He is also the associate editor for Environmental Chemistry Letters (Springer) and Nanotechnology for Environmental Engineering Journal (Springer). He has been awarded by the Scientist of the year award-2015 from National Environmental Science Academy, Delhi, India and Almarai Award-2017, Saudi Arabia.

Eric Lichtfouse, PhD, born in 1960, is an environmental chemist working at the University of Aix-Marseille, France. He has invented carbon-13 dating, a method allowing to measure the relative age and turnover of molecular organic compounds occurring in different temporal pools of any complex media. He is teaching scientific writing and communication, and has published the book Scientific Writing for Impact Factors, which includes a new tool - the Micro-Article - to identify the novelty of research results. He is founder and Chief Editor of scientific journals and series in environmental chemistry and agriculture. He got the Analytical Chemistry Prize by the French Chemical Society, the Grand Prize of the Universities of Nancy and Metz, and a Journal Citation Award by the Essential Indicators.

穆·納烏沙德博士目前擔任沙烏地阿拉伯利雅德國王沙烏德大學（KSU）科學學院化學系的副教授。他於2002年和2007年分別在印度阿里格爾穆斯林大學獲得分析化學的碩士和博士學位。他在分析化學、材料化學和環境科學等多學科領域擁有豐富的研究經驗。他的引用次數超過5000次，Google Scholar H-Index 超過44。他成功執行了多個由沙烏地阿拉伯國家科學與技術計畫（NPST）和阿卜杜勒阿齊茲國王科學與技術城（KACST）資助的研究項目。他是多本知名期刊的編輯或編輯委員會成員，如《Scientific Report》（Nature）、《Process Safety & Environmental Protection》（Elsevier）、《Journal of Water Process Engineering》（Elsevier）和《International Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health》（MDPI）。他也是《Environmental Chemistry Letters》（Springer）和《Nanotechnology for Environmental Engineering Journal》（Springer）的副編輯。他曾獲得2015年印度德里國家環境科學學院的年度科學家獎和2017年沙烏地阿拉伯的Almarai獎。

埃里克·利赫特福斯，博士，生於1960年，是在法國艾克斯-馬賽大學工作的環境化學家。他發明了碳-13定年法，這是一種可以測量任何複雜介質中不同時間池中分子有機化合物的相對年齡和周轉的方法。他教授科學寫作和溝通，並出版了《Scientific Writing for Impact Factors》一書，其中包括一種新工具——微文章（Micro-Article），用於識別研究結果的新穎性。他是環境化學和農業領域科學期刊及系列的創始人和主編。他曾獲得法國化學學會的分析化學獎、南錫和梅斯大學的特別獎，以及Essential Indicators的期刊引用獎。
