Over the last decade the notion of threshold concepts has proved influential around the world as a powerful means of exploring and discussing the key points of transformation that students experience in their higher education courses and the troublesome knowledge that these often present. Threshold concepts provoke in the learner a state of liminality in which transformation takes place, requiring the integration of new understanding and the letting go of previous learning stances. Insights gained by learners as they cross thresholds can be exhilarating but might also be unsettling,...

Green Composites: Waste-based Materials for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition presents exciting new developments on waste-based composites. New, additional, or replacement chapters focus on these elements, reflecting on developments over the past ten years. Authors of existing chapters have brought these themes into their work wherever possible, and case study chapters that connect materials engineering to the topic's social context are included in this revised edition.

Professor Baillie believes that the new 'green' is the "what and who" composites are being designed for,...
