This book examines the evolution of China’s rural land system through an integrated lens of institutional and behavioural economics. It traces seventy years of reform, from collective farming to market-oriented land transfers, to explain how central policy, local implementation and farmers’ responses interact to shape institutional change. Moving beyond standard accounts focused on property rights and transaction costs, the book introduces a dynamic framework based on Prospect Theory, incorporating cognitive biases, social norms and bounded rationality. Drawing on two large-scale rural household surveys, the book combines empirical analysis with historical case studies to explore how reforms were received, adapted and resisted.This book will benefit researchers, policymakers and graduate students interested in institutional change, land policy or Chinese rural development. It offers new tools to understand policy implementation in environments marked by uncertainty, decentralisation and informal constraints. By highlighting how behavioural factors mediate formal rules, the book provides insights that extend beyond China, informing the design of effective land and property rights reforms globally.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of multimodal and combined techniques used for imaging applications in Chemical Biology, including afterglow luminescence imaging, chemiluminescence imaging, delayed fluorescence imaging, AIE fluorescence imaging, and many more techniques. As well as providing in-depth detail on the application of these techniques, the advantages and disadvantages of each are also discussed. Additionally, Imaging Tools for Chemical Biology also covers the use of chemical probes for tagging biomolecules and therapeutic applications. The current state of the art in biological imaging and future directions for the field are also discussed and evaluated. This book is a valuable resource and ideal for researchers new to the area, as well as experienced chemists interested in developing probes and biologists interested in utilising probes in their research.

This book covers C-Programming focussing on its practical side. Volume 1 deals mainly with basic data structures, algorithms and program statements. An extensive use of figures and examples help to give a clear description of concepts help the reader to gain a systematic understanding of the language.
