Platform Politics
The ‘sharing economy’, powered by companies like Airbnb, Uber and Deliveroo, promised to revolutionize the way we work and live. But what changes have come about, and why? This book shows how platform capitalism is not only shaped by business decisions, but is a result of struggles involving social movements, consumer politics and state interventions. It focuses in particular on the controversial tactics used by platform giants to avoid regulation. Drawing on cutting-edge research and analysis, the book provides a critical overview of the struggles around platforms, examines platform power, and reflects on the different possible futures of the platform economy.
Microscopic Properties and Processes in Minerals
One of the major developments in Earth Sciences in general, and mineralogy in particular, has been the growth of our understanding of the microscopic behaviour of the complex materials that make up the Earth. This has been made possible by advances in our ability to probe minerals at the atomic level, over a large range of pressure and temperature conditions. New experimental techniques include the use of scanning probe microscopies to investigate mineral surfaces, as well as the use of neutron scattering, nuclear spectroscopies and synchrotron radiation to investigate the bonding and structure of minerals. In addition, there have been major developments in computational methods so that it i...
Recent Advances in the Science and Technology of Zeolites and Related Materials
Recent Advances in Science and Technology of Zeolites and Related Materials is a collection of oral and poster communications, presented during the 14th International Zeolite Conference (IZC). The conference was hosted by the Catalysis Society of South Africa. In the tradition of the IZC series, this Conference provides a forum for the presentation of new knowledge in the science and technology of zeolites and related materials. Papers presented cover a wide range of topics that include synthesis, structure determination, characterisation, modelling, and catalysis. This highly visual book is a must for readers looking to stay up-to-date on zeolite science. * This three-part volume provides valuable information on zeolites and related materials* Includes papers that cover topics such as structure determination, modelling and separation processes* Contains new and exciting developments in the field
Theoretical Aspects of Heterogeneous Catalysis
Heterogeneous catalysis is a fascinating and complex subject of utmost importance in the present day. Its immense technological and economical importance and the inherent complexity of the catalytic phenomena have stimulated theoretical and experimental studies by a broad spectrum of scientists, including chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, and material scientists. Computational and theoretical techniques are now having a major impact in this field. This book aims to illustrate and discuss the subject of heterogeneous catalysis and to show the current capabilities of the theoretical and computational methods for studying the various steps (diffusion, adsorption, chemical reaction) of h...

Modena Racing Memories
In the 1950s and early 1960s, Modena was the center of Italy's sports car and Grand Prix universe. There, engineers and artisans crafted cars for Ferrari, Maserati, OSCA, ATS, and others, every day bringing an unending parade of new surprises to the famous Modena Autodrome for resting. As a young man, Graham Gauld traveled to the northern Italian villa several times, striking up relationships with famous drivers, engineers, and designers who granted him and his camera unprecedented access to their facilities. The result is this remarkable history which documents the fall of Italian carmakers from Grand Prix eminence, and their subsequent rise to dominance in international GT racing. All of the photos are from Gauld's private collection and are seen together here for the first time. Populated with fantastic cars, motorsport luminaries, and the author's rarefied memories, this splendid photo history is sure to interest all fans of vintage racing and classic Italian machinery.
Tourism Policy-Making in the Context of Contested Wicked Problems
This volume offers insights into pathways towards tourism sustainability, analysing current problem-solving capabilities and competences of governments to deal with specific tourism policy issues (or wicked problems) such as the climate emergency, tourism mobility, indigenous disadvantages, the COVID-19 pandemic, or the P2P economy.
Natural Mineral Materials
This book presents natural minerals used as inorganic materials, and inorganic materials exchanging cations or anions in natural minerals for other ions not found in nature. In addition, composites such as natural mineral materials that interact with organic molecules or polymers are introduced according to how they are used. Readers can refer to this volume as a guidebook to search for specific inorganic materials, and, if they wish, can consult any part of it at random. The book will be especially helpful and of interest to both scientists and engineers.
Life in a Troubled Land
Life in a Troubled Land journeys to the Adriatic coastal country of Albania as seen through the eyes of a son as he returns to his parents' villages many years after their departure. Through the eyes of George Stamos, author Angelo Kaltsos presents true accounts by the people living in the most isolated country in Europe tales gathered after Albania became a democracy following the death of its dictator. He chronicles the hardships and difficulties they faced living under this totalitarian regime and how their lives improved after becoming part of the outside world. In this Historical novel, George experiences life in the new Albania. War broke out in May of 1912 when Greece, Serbia, Montene...
