This book argues that it was about freedom to trade, Britain's demands for diplomatic equality, and French demands for religious freedom in China. Both countries agreed that their armies, which repeatedly prevailed over Chinese ones that were numerically superior, would stay out of Beijing itself, but were infuriated by China's imprisonment, torture and death of British, French and Indian negotiators. At the same time, the British and French also helped the empire to battle rebels and to pocket port and harbour dues. They steered carefully between their political and trading demands, and navigated the danger that undue stress would make China's fragile government and empire fall apart. If it did, there would be no one to make any kind of agreement with; much of East Asia would be in chaos and Russian power would soon expand. Battle for Beijing, 1858-1860 offers fresh insights into the reasons behind the actions and strategies of British authorities, both at home and in China, and the British and French military commanders. It goes against the widely accepted views surrounding the Franco-British conflict, proposing a bold new argument and perspective. . 606 $aChina$xHistory 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606

a single voice, research and development progress in emerging metamaterials and derived functional metadevices. Coverage includes electromagnetic, optical, acoustic, thermal, and mechanical metamaterials and related metadevices. Metamaterials are artificially engineered composites with designed properties beyond those attainable in nature and with applications in all aspects of materials science. From spatially tailored dielectrics to tunable, dynamic materials properties and unique nonlinear behavior, metamaterial systems have demonstrated tremendous flexibility and functionality in electromagnetic, optical, acoustic, thermal, and mechanical engineering. Furthermore, the field of metamaterials has been extended from the mere pursuit of various exotic properties towards the realization of practical devices, leading to the concepts of dynamically-reconfigurable metadevices and functional metasurfaces. The book explores the fundamental physics, design, and engineering aspects, as well as the full array of state-of-the-art applications to electronics, telecommunications, antennas, and energy harvesting. Future challenges and potential in regard to design, modeling and fabrication are also addressed. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Materials Science,$x0933-033X ;$v262 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronics$xMaterials 606 $aElectronic circuits 606 $aAcoustics 606 $aEnergy harvesting 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 606 $aCircuits and Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24068 606 $aElectronic Circuits and Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010 606 $aAcoustics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21069 606 $aEnergy Harvesting$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/117000 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronics$xMaterials. 615 0$aElectronic circuits. 615 0$aAcoustics. 615 0$aEnergy harvesting. 615 14$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 615 24$aCircuits and Systems. 615 24$aElectronic Circuits and Devices. 615 24$aAcoustics. 615 24$aEnergy Harvesting. 676 $a620.11295 676 $a620.11297 700 $aTong$b Xingcun Colin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063324 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298586103321 996 $aFunctional Metamaterials and Metadevices$92531790 997 $aUNINA
