Kai and Masao, once enemies, are now condemned to the sea by the Tide Dragons Sacrifice. If Hotaru, the new emperor, is unable to summon the Tide Dragons of Ebb and Flood at the Autumn Moon Festival, he will forfeit the right to rule Cipangu. The two Sacrifices face a desperate race against time to free themselves from this ancient curse before Hotaru binds them with forbidden magic to obey his will - forever. Sakami, Kai's lover, has become a kitsune, a fox spirit. She is determined to do all in her power to save him - but is Hotaru, aided by his treacherous shikigami, Kurika, just too formidable an opponent to overcome?Mythology, JapaneseGenerated by AIFantasy fictionGenerated by AIMythology, JapaneseFantasy fictionAsh Sarah1400538BOOK9910153615703321Emperor of the Fireflies4181765UNINA03881nam 22005775 450 991073146940332120251009080506.0981-9910-55-210.1007/978-981-99-1055-7(MiAaPQ)EBC30590885(Au-PeEL)EBL30590885(DE-He213)978-981-99-1055-7(CKB)26872284300041(EXLCZ)992687228430004120230608d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTransport Efficiency and Safety in China /by Pengjun Zhao, Liangen Zeng1st ed. 2023.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (xiv, 354 pages) illustrations (chiefly color)Population, Regional Development and Transport,2662-4621Print version: Zhao, Pengjun Transport Efficiency and Safety in China Singapore : Springer,c2023 9789819910540 Chapter 1.

Transport Safety -- Summary.This book is the first comprehensive analysis of transport efficiency in China. It presents a series of rigorous empirical analysis for the operation and environmental efficiencies of major transport sectors, including highway, railway, civil aviation, and waterway. It also evaluates transport safety of China. The book innovatively employs a DEA model based on Epsilon measures (EBM) to evaluate transport efficiency and an EBM DEA model with undesirable outputs to calculate transport environmental efficiency. The factors of transport efficiency are quantitatively studied, including economic growth, social transition, and technology changes. Also, China's policies aimed at improving transportation efficiency are evaluated. The theoretical analyses and discussions would enhance our existing knowledge of the changes and determinants of transport system’s efficiency in a context of rapid urbanization, industrialization, and marketization in China. The findings ofthe existing policy evaluation would bring fresh evidences for transport policy performances to both scholars and politicians. In particular, it shows policymakers the experiences or lessons of how to create an efficient transport system in order to save energy use, reduce GHGs emissions, and improve social security. This book is of great interest to scholars interested in sustainable transport, regional planning and development, environmental policy and is relevant to China and other developing countries. .Population, Regional Development and Transport,2662-4621TransportationSustainabilityGeographyTransportation EconomicsSustainabilityRegional GeographyTransportation.Sustainability.Geography.Transportation Economics.Sustainability.Regional Geography.388.049Zhao Pengjun1975-1378585Zeng Liangen1369181MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910731469403321Transport efficiency and safety in China3594315UNINA
