The Immersion Method for Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation: Applications for Sustainability comprehensively explores the synergy between microbiology and engineering, focusing on MICP and its applications in material improvement and environmental remediation. Highlighting the immersion method, the book elucidates MICP's ability to enhance mechanical properties uniformly throughout treated materials, offering a sustainable alternative for various engineering challenges. Emphasizing its applications in civil engineering and environmental management, the book showcases MICP's efficacy in ground improvement, crack repair, and soil stabilization, alongside its potential for mitigating environmental contamination.Examines the potential to create environmentally sustainable and resilient construction materials.Discusses various applications of MICP across critical areas of civil engineering and environmental management, including ground improvement, crack repair, and remediation of contaminated environments.Provides a detailed examination of MICP-treated materials’ long-term durability and performance under various environmental conditions.

This book presents a groundbreaking critique of neo-liberal interpretations of global agricultural development, challenging dominant narratives with nuanced analyses rooted in historical and theoretical frameworks.

This book is a collection of eight chapters that examine new media and contemporary Chinese politics based on an analysis of twelve major microblog entries from 2011 to 2012, most of which are still relevant to the present day and the new age of WeChat.It explores how the new media both informs and deforms the ideology. It also discusses how today’s mass migration and the “de-regionalization” of floating populations around the globe, and the accompanying urbanization, the rapid disappearance of rural communities, and the reconstruction of urban-rural relations, as well as the rise in refugee flows and terrorism are all leading to new, large-scale social unrest worldwide.
