This first-of-its-kind, two-volume primer is addressed to meet the needs of the rapidly growing number of Chinese language students who were raised in the United States in Chinese-speaking homes and can speak the language but who cannot read or write it. The book's lessons and exercises build upon the cultural knowledge of these "advanced beginners" in order to facilitate full language acquisition. As a culture-based primer, this text takes an unusual and innovative approach, with lessons organized around readings on Chinese history, culture, geography, literature, folktales and mythology, customs, and cuisine. The focus, therefore, is not on sentence grammar, but rather on reading strategies and on "discourse grammar," a new, more authentic approach to the study of languages.

3D Printed Concrete: Curing Regimes, Environmental Stressors, and Sustainable Performance offers a concise and practical synthesis of emerging innovations in 3D printed concrete, covering its thermal degradation, early-age strength prediction, CO2 curing, and recycled material utilization. The book provides a fundamental understanding of the material and its manufacturing process, as well as insight into optimizing 3D printed concrete for sustainability and durability under real world conditions. Uniquely focusing on the integration of mechanical performance, environmental exposure, and carbon reduction strategies, readers will come away with a better understanding of the physical and chemical mechanisms affecting printed concrete under heat and moisture exposure, the ability to implement maturity models and predictive tools for early-age strength and printing schedule control, and the knowledge to apply CO2 curing and recycled fine aggregates in order to reduce emissions and enhance structural performance. Materials and mix-design requirements and the effects of printing parameters on quality are each covered as well.Provides a concise, practical synthesis of 3D printed concrete, covering its thermal degradation, early-age strength prediction, CO2 curing, and recycled material utilizationPresents simplified maturity models and regression-based strength prediction equations for application in design, quality control, and digital construction workflowsCovers mechanics-based insight into environmental effects, including high-temperature degradation, anisotropic behavior, and moisture temperature coupled strength developmentOutlines sustainability-driven design solutions, such as approaches for using CO2 curing and pretreated recycled fine aggregates to enhance strength and reduce the carbon footprint
