Sinopsis

Carbon Capture offers a comprehensive exploration of materials designed to capture and store carbon dioxide, a critical strategy for climate change mitigation and improving air quality. The book bridges the gap between scientific research and practical applications, examining the chemistry and physics of these innovative materials. It also addresses the significant engineering challenges involved in scaling up carbon capture technologies. One intriguing aspect is the book's exploration of direct air capture, a method of removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere, offering a potential solution to legacy emissions. The book also delves into the economic and environmental implications of widespread carbon capture, analyzing policy frameworks and potential risks. Structured in three main sections, it begins with the fundamental science behind carbon capture materials, then explores the engineering aspects of different capture technologies (pre-combustion, post-combustion, and direct air capture), and finally evaluates the broader impacts. By integrating perspectives from chemistry, environmental science, chemical engineering, economics, and policy, Carbon Capture provides a balanced view of the potential and limitations of this technology. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the hurdles to deployment and the true potential of carbon capture to combat climate change.

Undammed - Freeing Rivers and...

Tara Lohan

Free-flowing rivers in the United States are an endangered species. With more than 500,000 dams in place, we've dammed and diverted almost every major river, straightening curves and blocking passage for fish and other aquatic animals, pushing many to the brink. Now a heartening new movement is helping to demolish harmful or obsolete structures and restore new life to rivers and the communities that depend on them. In doing so, it offers a pathway to undoing environmental harm to nature—and to ourselves.In Undammed, environmental journalist Tara Lohan takes a clear-eyed look at the unexpected benefits of dam removal after centuries of dam-building. In helping to restore rivers, she argues, we're protecting our own communities by improving water quality, enhancing public safety, and boosting fish populations that feed people and restore rights for Native American Tribes. In Europe, where river barriers occur almost every half-mile, the US movement is spurring a rival effort to restore natural flow to rivers degraded by obstructions.Undammed is an inspirational look at our changing relationship with the natural world, showing the cascade of benefits that come when we no longer turn our backs on rivers. And in helping to restore rivers, we're helping ourselves.

Everest - The West Ridge

Thomas Hornbein, Jon Krakauer

In 1963, Jim Whittaker became the first American to summit Everest via the South Col route. Roughly two weeks after Whittaker's achievement, Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld, fellow American mountaineers on the same expedition, became the first climbers ever to summit the world's highest peak via the dangerous and forbidding West Ridge—a route on which only a handful of climbers have since succeeded. 
 
 
 
This special fiftieth anniversary edition reintroduces the adventure in a larger format by members of the expedition, including leader Norman G. Dyhrenfurth and team doctor Jim Lester. In addition to a new foreword by Jon Krakauer, this volume also features a new preface by Hornbein along with a series of prefaces he wrote for earlier editions, including the original from 1965.
