<p><i>Cannabis Analysis: Methods and Techniques for a Growing Industry</i> focuses on the need for the scientific, therapeutic and economic expansion of the cannabis industry and the accurate analysis of composition and contaminants. While there is an extensive body of scientific work focused on analytical methodologies for cannabinoid compounds, the bulk of the literature is devoted to forensics and analysis for law enforcement purposes. This marks the first analytical book to address these challenges that uses a focused and scientific approach. A sheer lack of uniformity in the industry poses risks and challenges for patients, growers and state agencies tasked with overseeing cannabis laws.</p> <p>Written by academics and professionals whose work focuses on cannabis and its properties, this book serves as the reference standard for analytical methods in the cannabis industry. </p>

<p><i>Ensuring Global Food Safety: Exploring Global Harmonization, Second Edition, </i> examines the policies and practices of food law which remain top contributors to food waste. This fully revised and updated edition offers a rational and multifaceted approach to the science-based issue of "what is safe for consumption?" and how creating a globally acceptable framework of microbiological, toxicological and nutritional standards can contribute to the alleviation of hunger and food insecurity in the world. Currently, many laws and regulations are so stringent that healthy food is destroyed based on scientifically incorrect information upon which laws and regulations are based.</p> <p>This book illuminates these issues, offering guidelines for moving toward a scientifically sound approach to food safety regulation that can also improve food security without putting consumers at risk.</p>
