Sinopse

Energy Storing Walls explores innovative building materials designed to conserve energy. It highlights how smart materials, like phase change materials (PCMs) and thermochemical materials (TCMs), can store and release energy, reducing reliance on traditional heating and cooling systems. These materials offer a proactive approach to temperature management, going beyond typical thermal insulation methods. The book argues that widespread adoption of these technologies is crucial for achieving significant reductions in building energy consumption and promoting sustainable architecture.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental principles and material types. It then focuses on practical integration into building design, covering material selection and construction techniques. Case studies demonstrate real-world effectiveness in diverse climates. By focusing specifically on integrating energy-storing materials into wall construction, the book offers a unique, systems-thinking approach, considering interactions between the building envelope, HVAC systems, and occupant behavior to help architects, engineers, and building designers make informed decisions.

As Charles Darwin suggested more than a century ago, the differences between animals and humans are of degree and not of kind. Not long ago, ethologists denied that animals had emotions or true intelligence. Now, we know that rats laugh when tickled, magpies mourn as they cover the departed with greenery, female whales travel thousands of miles for annual reunions with their gal pals, seals navigate by the stars, bears hum when happy, and crows slide down snowy rooftops for fun. 
 
In engaging text, photographs, and infographics, Inside Animal Hearts and Minds showcases fascinating and heart-warming examples of animal emotion and cognition that will foster wonder and empathy. Learn about an orangutan who does “macramé”, monkeys that understand the concept of money, and rats that choose friendship over food. Even language, math, and logic are no longer exclusive to humans. Prairie dogs have their own complex vocabularies to describe human intruders, parrots name their chicks, sea lions appear capable of deductive thinking akin to a 10-year-old child’s, and bears, lemurs, parrots, and other animals demonstrate numerical cognition. 
 
In a world where a growing body of scientific research is closing the gap between the human and nonhuman, Inside Animal Hearts and Minds invites us to change the way we view animals, the world, and our place in it.

"Providing a post-COP26 perspective on the climate emergency, Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant's Guide acknowledges that it is now practically impossible to keep this side of the 1.5°C dangerous climate-change guardrail. The upshot is that we can no longer dodge the arrival of a disastrous, all-pervasive climate breakdown that will come as a hammer blow to global society and economy. Bill McGuire, Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards, explains the science behind the climate crisis, painting a blunt but authentic picture of the sort of world our children will grow old in, and our grandchildren grow up in, a world that we catch only glimpses of in today's blistering heatwaves, calamitous wildfires, and ruinous floods and droughts. Bleak though it is, the picture is one we must all face up to, if only to spur genuine action—even at this late stage—to stop a harrowing future from becoming a truly cataclysmic one."
