Book excerpt: Verso la transizione energetica … il nuovo libro di Guerino Mangiamele Tra transizione ed emergenza energetica. PREPARARSI AL FUTURO - Una riflessione sullo “stato dell’arte” delle fonti di energia rinnovabile, sulle difficoltà di reperirle e su come sia necessario, da parte di ciascuno, adottare una maggiore “sobrietà energetica” senza rinunciare alle comodità acquisite. La disponibilità limitata delle risorse energetiche deve per forza portarci verso un uso più attento e sostenibile. La prospettiva non deve essere quella di ridurre il nostro benessere, ma di incrementare anche quello della maggioranza della popolazione mondiale. In questa pubblicazione si è cercato di chiarire, tra l’altro, come l’innovazione tecnologica possa portare a risultati tali da consentirci di ridurre i consumi energetici pur continuando nella nostra crescita economica. Proprio la ricerca di soluzioni a più basso consumo, anzi, può sostenere la competitività del paese e rilanciare la nostra economia, spesso impegnata nel cercare di difendersi sul piano dei prezzi nei confronti dei paesi emergenti. E' un progetto che nasce con l’intento divulgativo di illustrare, con un linguaggio chiaro e comprensibile, alle nuove generazioni e a quanti si avvicinano al tema dell’energia, le possibili soluzioni e le tecnologie alternative al gas e al petrolio, cercando di non trascurare gli scenari futuri legati alle auto elettriche, alla gestione delle smart city, al nucleare di quarta generazione o all’idrogeno verde. Ipotizzando, nel contempo, i tempi e i modi necessari per arrivare ad un reale sfruttamento delle risorse, nonché valutandone i pro e i contro di ciascuna tecnologia energetica, come ad esempio nel caso del fotovoltaico, dove si cerca di chiarire alcuni aspetti che, a volte, creano confusione e falso ottimismo. I vari capitoli, volutamente sintetici, riportano dei QR-Code con link ad approfondimenti e aggiornamenti in grado di fornire al lettore ulteriori strumenti per un’opinione fondata su numeri e dati. Perché risparmiare energia e ridurre gli sprechi si può, e in fin dei conti vinciamo tutti . “Noi spendiamo di meno, spende di meno il Paese, importiamo meno gas dall’estero e inquiniamo di meno.” Alcune considerazioni…. : A causa dello "stand-by elettrico", ogni famiglia spende non meno di 100 euro all’anno. Ciascuna abitazione, per consumi elettrici e riscaldamento, immette in atmosfera ogni anno, 9 tonnellate di Anidride Carbonica. Se tutti sostituissimo le lampade tradizionali con lampadine a led, potremmo evitare di acquistare dall'estero 600 milioni di metricubi di gas metano.
Download or read book Crisi o transizione energetica written by Stefano Fantacone and published by Diarkos. This book was released on 2022-11-16 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con l’uscita dalla pandemia, la strategia europea per la sostenibilità ha iniziato a confrontarsi con la scarsità di fonti energetiche tradizionali e con l’assenza di quelle tecnologie che permetterebbero di completare il passaggio alle fonti naturali. A questi fattori si aggiunge ora l’acuta crisi geopolitica provocata dal conflitto in Ucraina. La dipendenza europea dalle forniture di gas naturale dalla Russia obbliga a ripensare in tutta fretta le modalità di copertura del fabbisogno energetico. Le possibilità di diversificare le importazioni di energia sono tuttavia esigue e le prospettive di incorrere in una scarsità nelle forniture stanno rapidamente aumentando. I fattori geopolitici potrebbero in breve tempo divenire preminenti, qualora proprio la riconfigurazione dei mercati dell’energia rinsaldasse l’asse fra Russia e Cina, accentuando la preminenza dell’Asia nelle produzioni manifatturiere. Il conflitto ucraino accentua dunque il conflitto energetico latente, ponendo forse termine al processo di globalizzazione dei mercati. Eventualità che potrebbe trovare l’Europa del tutto impreparata.

Download or read book Marxism and Historiography written by Paolo Favilli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eminent Italian historian Giovanni Levi once notably remarked that “no one is a Marxist anymore,” pointing to a paradox in Italian cultural history. While what is called "Marxism" was supposedly hegemonic over Italian culture, and especially history writing, for decades in the postwar period, it then seems to have suddenly disappeared. This study questions such a vision of a monolithic and hegemonic Marxism. It starts from the most effective anecdote to all ideologising narratives—that is, research into the texts themselves. It sees the Marxist historiography of the post-1945 period as a "history in the making," in which references to Marxian theory were a fundamental factor driving historiographical innovation. This allows the book to bring to light a highly original experience in the development of historiography, based on the long Italian tradition of reflection on historical knowledge.

Download or read book The Party s Over written by Richard Heinberg and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is about to run out of cheap oil and change dramatically. Within the next few years, global production will peak. Thereafter, even if industrial societies begin to switch to alternative energy sources, they will have less net energy each year to do all the work essential to the survival of complex societies. We are entering a new era, as different from the industrial era as the latter was from medieval times. In The Party's Over , Richard Heinberg places this momentous transition in historical context, showing how industrialism arose from the harnessing of fossil fuels, how competition to control access to oil shaped the geopolitics of the 20th century, and how contention for dwindling energy resources in the 21st century will lead to resource wars in the Middle East, Central Asia, and South America. He describes the likely impacts of oil depletion, and all of the energy alternatives. Predicting chaos unless the U.S. -- the world's foremost oil consumer -- is willing to join with other countries to implement a global program of resource conservation and sharing, he also recommends a "managed collapse" that might make way for a slower-paced, low-energy, sustainable society in the future. More readable than other accounts of this issue, with fuller discussion of the context, social implications, and recommendations for personal, community, national, and global action, Heinberg's updated book is a riveting wake-up call for humankind as the oil era winds down, and a critical tool for understanding and influencing current U.S. foreign policy.

Download or read book The Ecological History of European Forests written by K. J. Kirby and published by C A B International. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest is the natural vegetation of most of Europe. Although the majority has been destroyed by human activity over the centuries, a considerable amount remains and has been managed to varying degrees and for a wide variety of reasons. This has resulted in a large number of natural and semi-natural landscapes and habitat types over the region and a high diversity of plant and animal communities adapted to them. The growing interest in natural history and the environment in recent years has resulted in a greater demand for information on the complex ecological history of European forest. This book is unique in providing wide ranging and detailed case studies on specific aspects, including grazing, management practices and conservation and overviews, from recognized authorities, of the latest research on the ecological history of forests and woodland in Europe. It consists of selected papers given at an international conference of forest historians organized in association with the British Ecological Society and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations at Nottingham University in September 1996. Contributions come from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Turkey. This book is essential reading for ecologists, conservationists, landscape historians, foresters and geographers. It will also be of interest to advanced students in these areas.
Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.
Download or read book Italy in the International System from D tente to the End of the Cold War written by Antonio Varsori and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection offers a new approach to the study of Italy’s foreign policy from the 1960s to the end of the Cold War, highlighting its complex and sometimes ambiguous goals, due to the intricacies of its internal system and delicate position in the fault line of the East-West and North-South divides. According to received opinion, during the Cold War era Italy was more an object rather than a factor in active foreign policy, limiting itself to paying lip service to the Western alliance and the European integration process, without any pretension to exerting a substantial international influence. Eleven contributions by leading Italian historians reappraise Italy’s international role, addressing three complex and intertwined issues, namely, the country’s political-diplomatic dimension; the economic factors affecting Rome’s international stance; and Italy’s role in new approaches to the international system and the influence of political parties’ cultures in the nation’s foreign policy.
