The dictionary is based throughout on corpus research for both English and Chinese, providing up-to-date evidence on real language.

The Normative Foundations of International Climate Adaptation Finance (Elements in Earth System Governance)
Billions of dollars are annually transferred to poor nations to help them adapt to the effects of climate change. This Element examines how the discourses on adaptation finance of many developing country negotiators, environmental groups, development charities, academics and international bureaucrats have renewed a specific vision of aid, that of an aid intended to respond to international injustices and to fuel a regular transfer of resources between rich and poor countries. By reviewing manifestations of this normative vision of aid in key contemporary debates on adaptation finance, the author shows how these discourses have contributed to the significant financial mobilisation of developed countries towards adaptation in the Global South. But there remains a stark contrast between the many expectations associated with these discourses and today’s adaptation finance landscape.Read more

Motor Racing’s Strangest Races: Extraordinary but true stories from over a century of motor racing
Since 1894, when motor racing’s colourful history began with a bang (and a banger!), drivers, racers and lunatics alike have done many stupid and bizarre things all in the name of motor sport.
Author Geoff Tibballs has gathered together this absorbing collection of stories from over a century of motor racing around the world, including the Frenchman who drove 25 miles in reverse, the Grand Prix in which the leading drivers were so far ahead that they stopped for a meal in the pits, the Le Mans 24-hour race won by a car patched up with chewing gum, and the driver who drank six bottles of champagne – virtually one per pit-stop – on the way to winning the Indianapolis 500. The stories in this book are bizarre, fascinating, hilarious, and, most importantly, true.
Revised, redesigned and updated for a new generation of petrolheads, this book contains enough extraordinary-but-true tales to drive anyone around the bend.

THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP: 1973 – 2020: A walk through the anecdotes, drivers and champion cars to re-live the passion for this sport
UPDATED TO THE COMPLETED 2022 SEASON!!!!!
DO YOU WANT TO TRAVEL IN TIME FROM 1973 TO 2022 AT THE SPEED OF A WORLD RALLY CAR AND ENJOY THE HISTORY OF THE MAXIMUM RALLY COMPETITION?
The world rally championship is the most complete motorsport competition: ice, snow, mud, asphalt, sand… No surface can resist a WRC car and for this reason its drivers are the most complete in the automobile scene.
We enjoy their street cars adapted for competition, their skidding, their spectacular jumps, their driving on the edge of forests and cliffs, seeking to start that second from the timer that differentiates success from failure while raising clouds of snow, dust or sand.
But above all, the WRC is its history. Let’s face it, there is no race we see without bringing back memories of his glorious past. You don’t enjoy this sport so much without knowing its route, its history, the greatness of its legendary cars and drivers that come back to our minds every time the engines roar.
In this book you can take a pleasant walk through its history in the form of simple keys to remember those wonderful years, or discover them if you are new to this sport to really know what that means.
• The origin of the World Rally Championship and its first winner
• The dominance of the Lancia Stratos in the early years and the glory of Munari
• The rise of the FIAT 131 Abarth to the detriment of Lancia development
• Björn Waldegard, the first official drivers’ championship champion
• The inclusion of 4-wheel drive and the German dominance of Opel and Audi
• The push and entry on the scene of Peugeot
• The tragedies of 1986 and the end of Group B

The top-selling auto repair guide–400,000 copies sold–now extensively reorganized and updated

A complete reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information directly after each automotive system overview, making it much easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. She’s also revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start.
Deanna Sclar (Long Beach, CA), an acclaimed auto repair expert and consumer advocate, has contributed to the Los Angeles Times and has been interviewed on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, and other television programs.

Superstox and Stock Cars: The Golden Years
The golden years of oval racing were arguably the 1970s when the sport went though its’ most rapid development and enjoyed its biggest following. The stock car formula had evolved considerably from the original version launched in 1954. Contstant development and modification over the years meant that the cars looked nothing like the original road going versions and so the Spedeworth promotion renamed their main class ‘Superstox’ and introduced a new formula closer to the original idea bearing the original name of stock cars.
Whilst hot rod racing provided a pure form of motor racing with no contact between cars allowed it was the Superstox and stock car formulae that continued to provide the ‘crash and bash’ that many race fans flocked to see. Although essentially an amatuer sport both the Superstox and stock cars contested international championships and test matches which were attended by huge crowds.
Superstox and stock cars have evolved even further since the 1970s, but captured here in over 200 photographs are the cars, drivers and the circuits from those golden years of racing.
