Book excerpt: • New York Times bestseller • The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world “At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming “There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” —David Roberts, Vox “This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.” —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.
Download or read book The Westinghouse Automatic Brake Classic Reprint written by Westinghouse Air-Brake Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Westinghouse Automatic Brake The automatic action of the brake is due to the construction of the triple valve. The primary parts of which are a piston and a slide-valve. A redue tion of pressure in the brake-pipe causes the excess of pressure in the aux iliary reservoir to force the piston of the triple valve down. Moving the slide-valve so as to allow the air in the auxiliary reservoir to pass directly into the brake-cylinder and apply the brakes. When the pressure in the brake-pipe is again increased above that in the auxiliary reservoir. The piston is forced up. Moving the slitleovalve to its former position. Opening communication from the brake-pipe to the auxiliary reservoir, and permitting the air in the brake-cylinder to escape, thus releasing the brakes. Thus it will be seen that any radar/ion a] pressure in {be brake-pipe app/11's (lu bmérs, which is the essential feature of the automatic brake. If the engineer wishes to apply the brakes, he moves the handle of the engi neer's brake-valve to the right, which first closes a valve retaining the pressure in the main reservoir. And then permits a portion of the air in the brake-pipe to escape. To release the brakes. He turns the handle to its former position, which allows the air in the main reservoir to flow into the brake. Pipe. Restoring the pressure and releasing the brakes. A valve. Called the conductor's valve. Is placed in each car. With a cord running the length of the car. And any of the train-men. By pulling this cord, can open the valve, which allows the air to escape from the brake-pipe. Should the train break in two, the air in the brake-pipe escapes, and the brakes are applied to both sections of the train; and should a hose or pipe burst. The brakes are also automatically applied.
