twenty-fifth installment in the James Bond film series. Since the release of Dr. No in 1962, the cinematic James Bond has expedited the transformation of Ian Fleming's literary creation into an icon of western popular culture that has captivated audiences across the globe by transcending barriers of ideology, nation, empire, gender, race, ethnicity, and generation. The Cultural Life of James Bond: Specters of 007 untangles the seemingly perpetual allure of the Bond phenomenon by looking at the non-canonical texts and contexts that encompass the cultural life of James Bond. Chronicling the evolution of the British secret agent over half a century of political, social, and cultural permutations, the fifteen chapters examine the Bond-brand beyond the film series and across media platforms while understanding these ancillary texts and contexts as sites of negotiation with the Eon franchise. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents a detailed study of the thermal consolidation behavior of saturated clay from experimental and theoretical aspects, analyzes the thermal consolidation response of saturated clay under the influence of different drainage conditions, confining pressures, temperature paths, and over-consolidation ratios, and carries out theoretical modelling of thermal consolidation based on thermoelasticity theory. The study of thermodynamic properties of clayey soils under temperature load has a wide range of applications in the fields of geothermal resource development, thermal energy storage, and nuclear waste disposal. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the thermal consolidation properties of saturated clay through systematic experimental studies and meticulous theoretical modelling. The relevant experimental results and theoretical analysis methods can provide valuable references for the study of soil thermal properties. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in related fields such as geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, soil science, as well as design engineers. |
