Download or read book Voluntary Carbon Markets written by Ricardo Bayon and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world carbon market is growing at a staggering rate with trading volumes into the tens of billions of dollars and approaching a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. The growth prospects for business are enormous and the potential positive impacts for greenhouse gas emission reductions, climate policy options, renewable energy investment, development projects and efficiency gains are increasingly apparent.A key part of the market in greenhouse gas emissions is the rapidly growing voluntary carbon market driven by companies, organizations and individuals committed to efficiency, profitability and rapid action on climate change. HSBC, Volvo, Avis, Ricoh and American Express are but a few of the many companies now offsetting their greenhouse gas emissions and becoming 'carbon neutral', fuelling an international voluntary carbon market that is growing exponentially. This groundbreaking business book, written in a fast-paced journalistic style, draws together all the key information on international voluntary carbon markets with commentary from leading practitioners and business people. The voluntary market is complex, fragmented and multi-layered, but it is beginning to consolidate around a few guiding practices and business models from which conclusions can be drawn about market direction and opportunities.The book covers all aspects of voluntary carbon markets around the world: what they are, how they work and, most critically, their business potential to help slow climate change. It is the indispensable guide for anyone seeking to understand voluntary carbon markets and capitalize on the opportunities they present for economic and environmental benefit. If you want to be ahead of the curve for the next big thing, you need this book.

Download or read book The Perfect Book written by SAMEH NAGI ABDU FARAG and published by Sameh nagi abdu farag. This book was released on 2015-01-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perfect Book is a scientific-religious book that reveals great unprecedented facts about where Allah was before the beginning of this world, how He began it, and the true theories related to the origin of the universe and the creation of everything. These facts and theories are discussed in a well-organized and logical order that challenges the religious heritage underlying human thought for centuries, to make it easier for the readers to understand the secrets of the earliest days of this universe.One of the most important scientific facts covered in this book is that the first thing created was water, then the Divine Throne, inside which an atomic body was created in a heterogeneous, unstable state that did not allow such orderly and sophisticated patterns of atoms to make chemical reactions or produce chemical elements. Then, that primordial body was parted, and its atoms formed the elements in the heavens and the earth, from which the bodies of creatures were created. Finally, Allah gave souls by breathing or ordering to these bodies to make them living beings.The book contains an illustration of how the universe looked after it was created in 14 days and how it is surrounded by water, above which lies the Divine Throne.The book shows that the ancient Egyptians were the first to discover atoms and the role of carbon in the life of everything. They were skillful at transforming staffs and ropes into activated carbon that could attract dust just as a magnet attracts iron, so the staffs and ropes would look as if turning into moving snakes when thrown on the ground. Prophet Moses brought for them the Message of Torah, which revolved around atoms, the source of everything, to show them that their atomic knowledge was only a reflection of Allah's Power over creation, by ordering Moses' staff to turn into a real snake.The book scientifically differentiates between the human self (soul) and the human Spirit ; clarifies that the human self (soul) has its own senses, and heart; and explains the concepts of death and lesser death, how the Spirit works with the body in the life, and how it works with human self after lesser death.The book discusses how Prophet Solomon could communicate with the jinn, birds, the mountains, and the wind; the Gospel as a Divine Message focused on the soul of living beings and how it is given by Allah; how Prophet Jesus was created with the power to breathe life into a clay bird, with the Permission of Allah.Only this book can tell you about the language used by Prophet Jesus and in which the Gospel was revealed to the Children of Israel, as well as the phases of human life from childhood to elderliness, and the two types of carbon that affect these phases.The book concludes with an assertion that challenges the claim of moon landing: The moon is composed of glassy carbon (a type of carbon that becomes glassy when exposed to a direct source of heat in the absence of elements that can react with it, particularly oxygen and hydrogen). As such, it is impossible for anything to approach or touch the surface of the moon, because the atoms of lunar carbon are excited by the absorbed solar energy, which causes it to send light to the earth. Also, one of its hemispheres is hot and activated, while the other is melted down and hot. As a result, anything that gets near to it will definitely melt down.This book is the translated version of Almastor book By Sameh Nagi Abdu Farag, "Almastor book" (in Arabic) means, The perfect book.
