Along the coast of the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, there are numerous remains linked to the manufacture of purple dyes. This study focuses on the site of Torregarcía (Almería, Spain), located in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, a protected coastal area of particular ecological interest. Torregarcía was initially excavated during 1980s and was identified as a Roman salting factory where the complementary activity of dyeing was also practised. Despite its importance, it has gone unnoticed in the historiography of the last three decades and has never been the subject of dedicated scientific publication. The investigations presented in this book have been carried out using non-invasive prospecting techniques, such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and have revealed the importance of the exploitation of purple dye as the main site activity. More complex installations associated with the excavated structures and a large shell pit are also described. Alongside these, other buildings and shells have also been documented along the coastline of this site. All of this forms what we call the "purple landscape" in the southeast of the peninsular coast, which allows the Natural Park to show archaeological heritage beyond any excavations carried out to date.

Contamination in the environment is a major concern because of the harmful effects on ecosystems and human health, and dyes are increasingly common industry-contributed pollutants. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the primary, secondary, and tertiary wastewater treatment systems that are in use across the globe. Covering the latest research in water purification techniques, the book contains analysis of photocatalysis and the mechanisms involved, findings of an in-depth investigation into different dyes, their preparation and the threats they pose, and concludes with discussion of the chemistry of green biopolymers and their doping impact with metal, metal oxides, and metal sulfide nanomaterials. The book will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of materials science, nanoscience and nanotechnology for environmental remediation.

"Travel back in time to learn about the artistry on perhaps the world's most iconic traditional garment - the kimono. Experience the rich and vibrant history of this simple yet sophisticated garment and the skill, tradition, symbolism, and art it represents through over 600 images. Displayed on over 100 full-page color images are supreme examples of the kimono, representing the best from the world's private and museum collections. These kimonos were created during arguably its greatest artistic peak, in the period 1905 through 1950, when great Japanese aesthetic traditions were in dynamic conversation with avant-garde art from the West." -- Page 4 of cover.
