Modularization A practical, hands-on guide to offsite preassembly, beginning with the project as just a concept gleam in the CEO’s eye and winding all the way through implementation at the construction site.

And along with that change, comes the need to understand the implementation requirements and project mindset adjustments that impact and influence all aspects of the modular project. To accomplish this, the book provides a complete (from beginning to end) identification and evaluation of the differences that make a modular project unique, starting with the very basics in terms of definitions and setting the groundwork of expectations by identifyin...

The Routledge Handbook of International Criminology brings together the latest thinking and findings from a diverse group of both senior and promising young scholars from around the globe. This collaborative project articulates a new way of thinking about criminology that extends existing perspectives in understanding crime and social control across borders, jurisdictions, and cultures, and facilitates the development of an overarching framework that is truly international. The book is divided into three parts, in which three distinct yet overlapping types of crime are analyzed: international crime, transnational crime, and national crime. Each of these perspectives is then articulated throu...
现代工业设计具有产业高附加值及优良文化传播媒介的特性,对市场经济发展有巨大推动和引导作用,其发展已被越来越多的发达国家政府作为战略国策,并将其快速发展视为经济集约化高速增长的关键要素和推进系列国家科技创新发展战略的重要环节。工业设计被赋予了为经济持续赋能、升级传统制造业的新任务。我国工业设计经过数十年发展,在浙江、广东等东南沿海发达地区已初具规模,受到各级政府广泛重视,并作为独立产业被纳入各地市政策规划中。本课题组根据工业设计产业实际发展现状,从区域经济、制造业融合等角度对工业设计产业进行量化分析研究,紧紧围绕我国产业生态,因地制宜提出相应的政策建议,大力发展工业设计产业,驱动我国创新发展,加速从“中国制造”到“中国创造”的转变。
A group of Koreans are making their way across a disease-ravaged landscape—but to what end? To the Warm Horizon shows how in a post-apocalyptic world, humans will still seek purpose, kinship, and even intimacy. Focusing on two young women, Jina and Dori, who find love against all odds, Choi Jin-young creates a dystopia where people are trying to find direction after having their worlds turned upside down.

Drawing on the Pakistan Earthquake Reconstruction and Recovery Project (PERRP), this volume explores the sociocultural side of post-disaster infrastructure reconstruction. As the latter is often fraught with delays and even abandonment—one cause being ineffective interactions between construction and local people—PERRP used anthropological and participatory approaches. Along with strong construction management, such approaches led to the rebuilding being completed on time. As disasters are increasing in number and intensity, so too will be the need for reconstruction, for which PERRP has lessons to offer.
