Certification emerged from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit amidst
great hope that we would finally begin to address the wicked environmental
and social problems facing our globe. Despite a proliferation
of certification schemes in twenty-five industry sectors over more than
twenty years, the environmental and social ills resulting from destructive
and irresponsible exploitation of natural and human resources have
grown still worse.
Beyond Certification reviews the positive aspects of certification, of which
there are many. But more important, it argues that we can no longer afford
to gloss over its failures. It is powerfully clear we need a very different
approach and set of actions to managing wicked problems like deforestation
and exploitation. The book offers one alternative model, based on Values,
Transparency, Transformation and Verification, and shares stories of how
farsighted people in very large corporations in a number of industries have
adopted this model to manage natural resources far more responsibly
while also benefitting local communities. Part of the power of this model
is that the companies work in partnership with an extensive network of
NGOs, local communities, suppliers, and other stakeholders to effect
needed change.
Beyond Certification does not claim that this VT-TV model is the only
solution. Rather, it serves to show how new and seemingly radical
thinking can resonate so strongly with many people and companies
that it catalyzes positive change. It makes the case for our continuing to invest more thought and proactive energy to develop still other
approaches to grappling with the serious issues confronting us all,
before it is too late.

In the last few decades, research on the elaboration by palladium-catalytic processes of C-C bonds or the activation of C–H bonds has increased considerably. Yet there is still room for much improvement in terms of selectivity, or enantioselectivity, via the development of new ligands or the study of the catalytic effect of other metals to carry out the same chemical transformations. In addition, the attention paid to environmentally friendly methods in terms of the quantities of catalysts, ligands, and solvents is currently indispensable. The Mizoroki-Heck reaction is one of these important catalytic methods which generates C-C bonds in organic synthesis and is also possible by C-H activation. This book, titled “Catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck Reaction or C-H activation” focuses on new advances in the formation of C-C bonds or new C-H activation methods. It contains original research papers and short reviews on the synthesis of biologically active compounds using these catalytic processes, the identification of new catalysts, of new conditions allowing selectivity or enantioselectivity, the activity and stability of catalyst under turnover conditions, and all improvements in catalytic processes.

This book, a collection of 12 original contributions and 4 reviews, provides a selection of the most recent advances in the preparation, characterization, and applications of polymeric nanocomposites comprising nanoparticles. The concept of nanoparticle-reinforced polymers came about three decades ago, following the outstanding discovery of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. One of the main ideas behind this approach is to improve the matrix mechanical performance. The nanoparticles exhibit higher specific surface area, surface energy, and density compared to microparticles and, hence, lower nanofiller concentrations are needed to attain properties comparable to, or even better than, those obtained by conventional microfiller loadings, which facilitates processing and minimizes the increase in composite weight. The addition of nanoparticles into different polymer matrices opens up an important research area in the field of composite materials. Moreover, many different types of inorganic nanoparticles, such as quantum dots, metal oxides, and ceramic and metallic nanoparticles, have been incorporated into polymers for their application in a wide range of fields, ranging from medicine to photovoltaics, packaging, and structural applications.
