Download or read book Counter shock written by Duccio Basosi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oil price collapse of 1985-6 had momentous global consequences: non-fossil energy sources quickly became uncompetitive, the previous talk of an OPEC 'imperium' was turned upside-down, the Soviet Union lost a large portion of its external revenues, and many Third World producers saw their foreign debts peak. Compared to the much-debated 1973 `oil shock', the `countershock' has not received the same degree of attention, even though its legacy has shaped the present-day energy scenario. This volume is the first to put the oil `counter-shock' of the mid-1980s into historical perspective. Featuring some of the most knowledgeable experts in the field, Counter-Shock offers a balanced approach between the global picture and local study cases. In particular, it highlights the crucial interaction between the oil counter-shock and the political `counterrevolution' against state intervention in economic management, put forward by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in the same period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first in an energy trilogy, stems from the need to reconcile, in a single structured writing, the different relationships that energy has to society, politics, economics, the environment and technology by presenting a wide-ranging panorama both in the analysis of each individual energy source and in the examination of global and local players. Free of ideological bias, it is characterized as a picture of the current situation to understand the future evolution of energy and society and to confront the inherent theme of complexity.

Download or read book The Hydrogen Revolution written by Marco Alverà and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Financial Times Best Book of 2021 An energy expert shows why hydrogen can fight climate change and become the fuel of the future We’re constantly told that our planet is in crisis; that to save it, we must stop traveling, stop eating meat, even stop having children. But in The Hydrogen Revolution, Marco Alverà argues that we don’t need to upend our lives. We just need a new kind of fuel: hydrogen. From transportation and infrastructure to heating and electricity, hydrogen could eliminate fossil fuels, boost economic growth, and encourage global action on climate change. It could also solve the most bedeviling aspects of today’s renewable energy—from transporting and storing wind and solar energy and their vulnerability to weather changes to the inefficiency and limited utility of heavy, short-lasting batteries. The Hydrogen Revolution isn’t just a manifesto for a powerful new technology. It’s a hopeful reminder that despite the gloomy headlines about the fate of our planet, there’s still an opportunity to turn things around.

Download or read book New Energies written by Stephen G. Gross and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 250 years, energy transitions have occurred repeatedly—the rise of coal in the nineteenth century, the explosion of oil in the twentieth century, the nuclear utopianism of the 1950s and 1960s. These transitions have been as revolutionary as any political or economic upheaval, and they required changes in infrastructure and behavior. Yet new energies never wholly replace old ones. This volume historicizes energy production and consumption while demonstrating how energy use has reshaped everything from social life and economic organization to political governance. It foregrounds the importance of energy for big historical questions about capitalism, democracy, inequality, the environment, and identity, and it argues that energy systems themselves merit attention as key agents of historical change. Given the urgency of climate change, and the central position that energy plays in causing and potentially solving global warming, this volume engages history as a discipline in the debate over what may be most monumental energy transition of all time: the shift away from fossil fuels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anno 2099. Gli archeologi, che operano sull'Isola di Pasqua da parecchi anni, cercano di svelare il mistero, un oggetto sacro che gli indigeni isolani identificano con questo termine ed intendono nascondere al resto del mondo. Ora la CIA ha spinto i possessori dell'isola, i cileni, a cedere questo possedimento oltremare agli Stati Uniti perche intende mettere in atto un piano molto losco e oscuro. Per quale motivo la nazione piA' potente del globo e cosi interessata ad un'isola cosi piccola ed insignificante? Intanto si intravede anche una svolta nelle indagini degli archeologi, che sembrano essere ormai sulla pista giusta per scoprire il mistero dell'Isola di Pasqua ma la loro avventura sara lunga e tortuosa, piena di insidie.
Download or read book I segreti del campo elettromagnetico mentale written by Carlo Mele and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In questa sua nuova opera, dal tono eminentemente scientifico, l'autore si adopera per rivisitare la mente nei termini di un campo d'energia, un campo elettromagnetico perfettamente assimilabile ai molti che si osservano nel mondo fisico. Tutte le facoltà della mente superiore, comprese quelle comunemente note come "poteri paranormali", vengono qui inquadrate in termini di uno specifico campo d'energia, peraltro sviluppabile attraverso una opportuna pratica mentale. La globale evoluzione della coscienza dell'uomo, nota anche come "illuminazione", può essere raggiunta attraverso una costante pratica di Autosviluppo d'Energia, lavoro mentale che può degnamente sostituire oggi il più antico concetto di "meditazione". La pratica dell'Autosviluppo è ciò che sortisce la piena emersione di talenti nuovi e di una nuova identità del Sé, favorendo la propria autorealizzazione, o pieno successo di vita.
Download or read book Shakespeare Manipulated written by Susan Young and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The resulting production was, technically and artistically, a tour de force, and the critical response was very favorable. The complexity of the stage effects and the marionette was such that the production, once dismantled, is unlikely to be re-staged. There existed no detailed written record of the production, so the writer's account has made good this lack by means of interviews with members of the company and a search of their archives and press reviews.
