Beschreibung

Green Energy Shift explores the transition to a global economy powered by renewable energy, focusing primarily on the rise of solar and wind power as key solutions to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions. The book navigates the technologies, policies, and economic factors driving this energy transition. One intriguing aspect highlighted is the rapid decrease in the costs of solar and wind energy coupled with their increasing efficiency, making them competitive with traditional fossil fuels. The book also draws parallels to past energy transitions, such as the shift from wood to coal, offering valuable lessons for the present.

 
The book argues that a successful shift to green energy involves technology, policy, investment, and societal adaptation. It examines the impact of government regulations, subsidies, and carbon pricing, while also addressing the social and equity dimensions of the energy transition. Green Energy Shift adopts a balanced approach, presenting information in a clear and accessible style. The book progresses logically, introducing the scientific basis for climate change, delving into the technical aspects of solar and wind energy, and then analyzing the policy frameworks essential for accelerating the energy transition towards a decarbonized global economy.

Inclusive Transportation - A...

Veronica O. Davis, Tamika L. Butler

Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
 
 
 
In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
 
 
 
Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

‘Combines the natural history of programmes such as David Attenborough’s Planet Earth with the planetary focus of Brian Cox’s Universe’ Guardian
A beautiful, full colour book to accompany the 5 part BBC TV series telling the most important story of all, the deep history of our own planet.
With the trademark dramatic storytelling techniques of The Planets and The Universe, Andrew Cohen and Chris Packham narrate the biography of the Earth, revealing the most epic moments from its history, from the first seconds of its existence to the arrival of its most incredible inhabitants, us.
But humans take a back seat for this story as the Earth takes centre stage. We’ll witness those moments where our planet’s future hung in the balance in the face of massive bombardments from space, extreme changes in climate, the collision of whole continents and more, and we’ll tell the story of how Earth’s most incredible creations – life and intelligence – are set to have the same lasting impact on Earth’s story as any meteorite or earthquake.
This is the epic 4 billion year story of the place we call home.
Chris Packham's EARTH is a top-tier exploration of the evolution of our planet. This latest contribution to the science genre offers a new perspective, placing Earth and its history at the centre of the narrative.

And No Birds Sang

Farley Mowat

Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm—if non-regulation—clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair. With a naturalist's eyes and ears, Mowat takes in the full dark depths of war—and his moving account of military service, and the friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace. It is one of the most searing and unforgettable World War II memoirs from any Canadian.
