  • Author : Mark Nuttall

  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 9788791563867
  • Pages : 223 pages

Download or read book Pipeline Dreams written by Mark Nuttall and published by International Work Group for Indegenous Aff. This book was released on 2010 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the Arctic as one of the world's last energy frontiers is increasing. The indigenous peoples of the circumpolar North have long been involved in struggles to make sense of, adapt to, and negotiate the impacts and consequences of resource development, but they have also been involved in struggles to gain some measure of control over development as well as to benefit from it. With a focus on the North American Arctic, Pipeline Dreams discusses how dreams of extracting resource wealth have been significant in influencing and shaping relations between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, as well as for the opening up of northern frontier regions to economic development. Pipeline Dreams looks at the emergence of the circumpolar North as an imagined hydrocarbon province and, through a detailed discussion of plans to explore for oil and gas and to build pipelines across the Arctic and Subarctic lands, it discusses a number of case studies from Canada and Alaska, as well as from other circumpolar regions, which illustrate some of the diverse perspectives, interests and concerns of indigenous peoples. The book considers and reflects upon the idea of the Arctic as a resource frontier and the concerns expressed by a variety of groups and commentators over the social and environmental impacts of oil and gas development, as well as the opportunities that oil and gas activities may bring to both the long-term viability of indigenous and local communities, and to the sustainability of indigenous and local livelihoods, cultures, and societies.

Book Proceedings of the Sixteenth World Petroleum Congress

Download or read book Proceedings of the Sixteenth World Petroleum Congress written by Institute of Petroleum and published by . This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of the new century, we can look at our modern high tech industry and see that oil has gone from a few oil seeps to the single most important raw material traded in the world, in volume and in value, in just over 100 years. The commercial history of the oil industry has been relatively short and dramatic. Where will we be heading in the next 100 years? It would be brave to predict 10 years from now, let alone 100. 100 years ago who could have predicted space travel, a man on the moon, the television, the computer, the internet? The list is endless. The 16th World Petroleum Congress serves as a forum for scientists, technical personnel, economists and management in the oil industry. The trends and outlook integral to the future success of the industry are the focus of discussions, forums and presentations throughout the Congress. The presentations explore international business opportunities, exchange ideas on global issues, and provide the latest information on technology, business management and industry developments. The 16th Congress theme is Petroleum for Global Development: Networking People, Business and Technology to Create Value. closing ceremonies, the plenary papers, review and forecast papers, technical forum papers and all of the posters and interactive technology presentations. The first volume will contain all the ceremonies and plenary speeches, the Review Forecast Papers and a full index for the complete Proceedings. The other four volumes will contain all the technical presentations split into distinct groups; upstream; downstream; natural gas, petrochemicals and transportation; business management. As well as containing all of the papers, the Proceedings will include a forum review written by the chair of each, plus details of the question and answer sessions.

Book excerpt: There are no more reespected voices in the environmental movement than these authors, true counselors on the direction of twenty-first-century business. With hundreds of thousands of books sold worldwide, they have set the agenda for rational, ecologically sound industrial development. In this inspiring book they define a superior & sustainable form of capitalism based on a system that radically raises the productivity of nature's dwindling resources. Natural Capitalism shows how cutting-edge businesses are increasing their earnings, boosting growth, reducing costs, enhancing competitiveness, & restoring the earth by harnessing a new design mentality. The authors offer dozens of examples of businesses that are making fourfold or even tenfold gains in efficiency, from self-heating & self-cooling buildings to 200-miles-per-gallon cars, while ensuring that workers aren't downsized out of their jobs. This practical blueprint shows how making resources more productive will create the next industrial revolution

Book Geologic Carbon Sequestration

Download or read book Geologic Carbon Sequestration written by V. Vishal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exclusive compilation written by eminent experts from more than ten countries, outlines the processes and methods for geologic sequestration in different sinks. It discusses and highlights the details of individual storage types, including recent advances in the science and technology of carbon storage. The topic is of immense interest to geoscientists, reservoir engineers, environmentalists and researchers from the scientific and industrial communities working on the methodologies for carbon dioxide storage. Increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are often held responsible for the rising temperature of the globe. Geologic sequestration prevents atmospheric release of the waste greenhouse gases by storing them underground for geologically significant periods of time. The book addresses the need for an understanding of carbon reservoir characteristics and behavior. Other book volumes on carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) attempt to cover the entire process of CCUS, but the topic of geologic sequestration is not discussed in detail. This book focuses on the recent trends and up-to-date information on different storage rock types, ranging from deep saline aquifers to coal to basaltic formations.

Book The Community Resilience Reader

Download or read book The Community Resilience Reader written by Daniel Lerch and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National and global efforts have failed to stop climate change, transition from fossil fuels, and reduce inequality. We must now confront these and other increasingly complex problems by building resilience at the community level. The Community Resilience Reader combines a fresh look at the challenges humanity faces in the 21st century, the essential tools of resilience science, and the wisdom of activists, scholars, and analysts working on the ground to present a new vision for creating resilience. It shows that resilience is a process, not a goal; how it requires learning to adapt but also preparing to transform; and that it starts and ends with the people living in a community. From Post Carbon Institute, the producers of the award-winning The Post Carbon Reader, The Community Resilience Reader is a valuable resource for community leaders, college students, and concerned citizens.

Book Canada s Relationship with Inuit

Download or read book Canada s Relationship with Inuit written by Sarah Bonesteel and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inuit have lived in Canada's north since time immemorial. The Canadian government's administration of Inuit affairs, however, has been generally shorter and is less well understood than the federal government's relations with First Nations and Métis. We hope to correct some of this knowledge imbalance by providing an overview of the federal government's Inuit policy and program development from first contact to 2006. Topics that are covered by this book include the 1939 Re Eskimo decision that gave Canada constitutional responsibility for Inuit, post World War II acculturation and defence projects, law and justice, sovereignty and relocations, the E-number identification system, Inuit political organizations, comprehensive claim agreements, housing, healthcare, education, economic development, self-government, the environment and urban issues. In order to develop meaningful forward-looking policy, it is essential to understand what has come before and how we got to where we are. We believe that this book will be a valuable contribution to a growing body of knowledge about Canada-Inuit relations, and will be an indispensable resource to all students of federal Inuit and northern policy development.
