Book Meeting the energy challenge

Download or read book Meeting the energy challenge written by Great Britain: Department of Trade and Industry and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-05-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two main energy challenges: tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions; and ensuring clean and affordable energy as the country becomes increasingly dependent on imported fuel. These challenges have to be met against the backdrop of rising fossil fuel prices; slower than anticipated liberalisation of the EU energy markets; heightened awareness of the risk arising from remaining oil and gas reserves being concentrated in a few geographical regions; and a need for substantial new investment in power stations, the electricity grid and gas infrastructure. This White Paper sets out the Governments international and domestic strategy to address these challenges and ways to implement the Energy Review of 2006 and the 2006 Pre-Budget Report. There is a separate consultation document on nuclear power.

Book Experiencing war as the  enemy other

Download or read book Experiencing war as the enemy other written by Wendy Ugolini and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy’s declaration of war on Britain in June 1940 had devastating consequences for Italian immigrant families living in Scotland signalling their traumatic construction as the ‘enemy other’. Through an analysis of personal testimonies and previously unpublished archival material, this book takes a case study of a long-established immigrant group and explores how notions of belonging and citizenship are undermined at a time of war. Overall, this book considers how wartime events affected the construction or Italian identity in Britain. It makes a groundbreaking and original contribution to the social and cultural history of Britain during World War Two as well as the wider literature on war, memory and ethnicity. It will appeal to scholars and students of British and Scottish cultural and social history and the history of World War II.

  • Author : David Worthington
  • Publisher : Springer
  • Release : 2017-10-17
  • ISBN : 3319640909
  • Pages : 319 pages

Download or read book The New Coastal History written by David Worthington and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a pathway for the New Coastal History. Our littorals are all too often the setting for climate change and the political, refugee and migration crises that blight our age. Yet historians have continued, in large part, to ignore the space between the sea and the land. Through a range of conceptual and thematic chapters, this book remedies that. Scotland, a country where one is never more than fifty miles from saltwater, provides a platform as regards the majority of chapters, in accounting for and supporting the clusters of scholarship that have begun to gather around the coast. The book presents a new approach that is distinct from both terrestrial and maritime history, and which helps bring environmental history to the shore. Its cross-disciplinary perspectives will be of appeal to scholars and students in those fields, as well as in the environmental humanities, coastal archaeology, human geography and anthropology.

Book Coal Country

Download or read book Coal Country written by Ewan Gibbs and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flooding and subsequent closure of Scotland's last deep coal mine in 2002 brought a centuries long saga to an end. Villages and towns across the densely populated Central Belt owe their existence to coal mining's expansion during the nineteenth century and its maturation in the twentieth. Colliery closures and job losses were not just experienced in economic terms: they had profound implications for what it meant to be a worker, a Scot and a resident of an industrial settlement. Coal Country presents the first book-length account of deindustrialization in the Scottish coalfields. It draws on archival research using records from UK government, the nationalized coal industry and trade unions, as well as the words and memories of former miners, their wives and children that were collected in an extensive oral history project. Deindustrialization progressed as a slow but powerful march across the second half of the twentieth century. In this book, big changes in cultural identities are explained as the outcome of long-term economic developments. The oral testimonies bring to life transformations in gender relations and distinct generational workplaces experiences. This book argues that major alterations to the politics of class and nationhood have their origins in deindustrialization. The adverse effects of UK government policy, and centralization in the nationalized coal industry, encouraged miners and their trade union to voice their grievances in the language of Scottish national sovereignty. These efforts established a distinctive Scottish national coalfield community and laid the foundations for a devolved Scottish Parliament. Coal Country explains the deep roots of economic changes and their political reverberations, which continue to be felt as we debate another major change in energy sources during the 2020s.

Book Crazy Sorrow

  • Author : Susan L. Bowes
  • Publisher : Polestar Press
  • Release : 1996
  • ISBN : 9781896095196
  • Pages : 468 pages

Download or read book Crazy Sorrow written by Susan L. Bowes and published by Polestar Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crazy Sorrow is a story about prejudice and the tragic consequences of cowardice, a cautionary tale about how a moment of weakness and indecision can lead to a lifetime of misery. Crazy Sorrow is a psychological mystery and a love story, a character study revealing the human need to move beyond "the twisted reach of crazy sorrow". Reminiscent of the most powerful Southern writing, Bowes characters are eccentric, colourful outcasts populating a powerful period in our imaginations -- the late 1950s and early '60s. The setting is Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley -- a sleepy town nestled among the hawthorns and flowering black locusts, where "nothing much happens and no one much matters". Beyond the genial warmth and beauty, however, beyond the orchards and meadows and rugged, treeless coastline, is a complex society in which terrible things are happening. Fast-paced and evocative, Crazy Sorrow is a stunning premiere novel.
