Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering
Microplastics and Nanoplastics: Occurrence, Environmental Impacts and Treatment Processes comprehensively illustrates the microplastics and nanoplastics pollution in different waters, wastewaters and terrestrial environment, and the possibilities of their removal/degradation. It provides a through and exhaustive discussion of the ongoing research and future perspectives of micro/nanoplastics, their interaction with other chemicals, the advanced degradation technologies and their impacts on the ecosystem. Micro- and nano-plastic pollution is an important topic in academia and industry and is gaining considerable attention in the society due to the concerns related to plastics. In addition to ...
Architectures of Hurry—Mobilities, Cities and Modernity
‘Hurry’ is an intrinsic component of modernity. It exists not only in tandem with modern constructions of mobility, speed, rhythm, and time–space compression, but also with infrastructures, technologies, practices, and emotions associated with the experience of the ‘mobilizing modern’. ‘Hurry’ is not simply speed. It may result in congestion, slowing-down, or inaction in the face of over-stimulus. Speeding-up is often competitive: faster traffic on better roads made it harder for pedestrians to cross, or for horse-drawn vehicles and cyclists to share the carriageway with motorized vehicles. Focusing on the cultural and material manifestations of ‘hurry’, the book’s contri...
The Colourful Life of an Engineer
Life in the early days in Canada is vividly described by Harry Lott, a 24 year old engineer who arrived in Montreal in 1907 with £10 in his pocket. He worked on construction of bridges, dams, transmission lines and early reinforced concrete buildings in five Provinces before returning to England in 1914 to join up for WWI. Fascinating stories of life in Montreal and Winnipeg and two years in construction camps in the backwoods include canoeing expeditions and moose hunts and are interspersed with historical background and engineering details.
