Download or read book Life on a Small Planet written by Peter James Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Born in the East End of London in the 1930s, Peter Ellis's ancestors included costermongers, boot and shoe repairers and fish porters. Growing up throughout World War Two, he witnessed the aerial dogfights in the Battle of Britain and the nightly flights of enemy bombers heading for London. At the end of schooling a chance encounter led Peter into an apprenticeship in electronics and high vacuum technology, beginning a lifelong interest in science and engineering which led him into work developing scientific instruments for a series of American weather satellites. This in turn led to the award of a PhD in applied physics and periods of work in the USA at the time of the first Moon landings. Peter and his family later migrated to New Zealand, where he eventually became the director of DSIR's Division of Information Technology, followed by a period in Australia as head of one of BHP's research groups in their Melbourne Laboratories. This is the personal story of an applied scientist's engagement with some of the groundbreaking technologies of the twentieth century, starting with electronics in the radio valve era and moving on to digital technology and the design of instruments for use aboard Earth-orbiting spacecraft. Throughout this account the author emphasises the whole process of learning and then the application of knowledge and experience in industry, state sector and university contexts, including the development of constructive working relationships with colleagues in six different countries. Humorous and memorable anecdotes pepper the narrative, and many events are illustrated with pictures taken at the time. Peter and his wife Kathy now live a quiet life in retirement in Waikanae, New Zealand."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet written by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living on a damaged planet challenges who we are and where we live. This timely anthology calls on twenty eminent humanists and scientists to revitalize curiosity, observation, and transdisciplinary conversation about life on earth. As human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies livability, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet puts forward a bold proposal: entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick descriptions offer urgent “arts of living.” Included are essays by scholars in anthropology, ecology, science studies, art, literature, and bioinformatics who posit critical and creative tools for collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene. The essays are organized around two key figures that also serve as the publication’s two openings: Ghosts, or landscapes haunted by the violences of modernity; and Monsters, or interspecies and intraspecies sociality. Ghosts and Monsters are tentacular, windy, and arboreal arts that invite readers to encounter ants, lichen, rocks, electrons, flying foxes, salmon, chestnut trees, mud volcanoes, border zones, graves, radioactive waste—in short, the wonders and terrors of an unintended epoch.

Download or read book Oikos God s Big Word for a Small Planet written by Andrew Francis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How you spend your time and money controls what happens on this planet . . . Planet Earth and its people are in danger. We face ongoing economic and ecological crises. These will deepen unless all of God's people begin to act as one global community. Natural resources are diminishing and the economic world order is changing. We cannot go on living as though we can call up another planet. Change is needed now and this book addresses that. The biblical vision of the world as oikos, meaning household, is God's challenge to all people about the way we live now--and in the future. Oikos affirms the need for reconciliation and peace between faiths and nations and should determine our economic practices and how we care for the planet. In this timely and challenging book is a renewed call to follow the Maker's instructions. Whether it is 9/11, Chernobyl, or the 2008 financial crash, that call for change is repeating itself. This book not only explains why we need to change but also provides practical advocacy of how you can help to achieve it.
Download or read book Cities For A Small Planet written by Richard Rogers and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing else damages the earth's environment more than our cities. As the world's population has grown, our cities have burgeoned, and their impact on the environment worsened. Meanwhile, from the isolated, gated communities within Houston and Los Angeles, to the millions of residents of Bombay living in squalor, the city has failed to serve its ideal functions as the cradle of civilization, the engine of culture, and the inspiration for community and citizenship. In Cities for a Small Planet, Sir Richard Rogers, one of the world's leading architects and the designer of the Pompidou Center in Paris, demonstrates how future cities could provide the springboard for restoring humanity's harmony with its environment. Rogers outlines the disastrous impact cities have had and will continue to have on our world, from waste-saturated Tokyo Bay, to the massive plumes of pollution caused by London's traffic, to the depleted water resources of Mexico City. He traces these problems to the underlying social and cultural values that create them -- unchecked commercial zeal, selfish individualism, and a lack of community. Bringing to bear concepts such as that of "open-minded" space -- places within cities that serve multiple functions such as markets, parks, and sidewalk cafes -- he explains how urban design can be used to give citizens a sense of shared experience. The city built with comfortable and safe public space can bring diverse groups together and breed a sense of tolerance, awareness, identity, and mutual respect. He calls for a new theoretical shift in the way cities do business and interact with the environment, arguing that many products come to market and are sold without figuring their social or environmental cost. Rogers goes on to describe the city of the future: one that is sustainable within its own environment; that can make a positive impact on its surroundings; that encourages communication among its citizens; that is compact and focused around neighborhoods; and that is beautiful, a city whose buildings and spaces spark the creative potential of its inhabitants. As our population grows larger, our planet grows smaller. Cities for a Small Planet is a passionate and eloquent blueprint for the cities we must create in response, cities that provide for the needs of both their residents and the earth on which they live.
