Sinopse

Energy Shifts delves into the complex transition from coal to renewable energy in the United States, examining the political negotiations, environmental consequences, and energy economics at play. It highlights how the shift impacts everything from climate change mitigation to economic development. The book reveals how technological advancements in renewable energy, coupled with growing awareness of coal's environmental toll, are reshaping the energy landscape. A key argument is that moving away from coal is not just an environmental issue but a political one, influenced by vested interests and policy decisions.

The book begins by establishing the historical context of coal's dominance and its subsequent decline due to environmental regulations, such as impacts following the Clean Air Act. It then progresses to analyze the drivers behind renewable energy adoption, like government policies promoting sustainable energy and market forces. Through statistical data, policy analyses, and case studies, Energy Shifts offers a nuanced understanding of this transition.

Ultimately, Energy Shifts provides an assessment of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, offering policy recommendations for a sustainable energy future. It emphasizes the interplay between policy and technology, moving beyond simplistic narratives to highlight the critical role of government policies in shaping the energy transition. This approach makes the book valuable for policymakers, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the future of energy.

Nudges from Grandfather -...

Chris Kavelin

In 1938 the German Reich inflicted a wave of violent, all night attacks on several Jewish communities (Kristallnacht). Far away in Australia, William Cooper, a distinguished Elder of the Yorta Yorta Nation, led a little-known march to the German Consulate to deliver his protest regarding the violation of those human rights. 
How contemporary Jewish and Aboriginal communities re-connected with that protest is but one chapter in a book recounting true stories of many miraculous chains of events. 
Each chapter has its own story, each story its own theme, but common throughout are lessons on the reality of spiritual technologies: following steps of prayerful, contemplative action; acting with ceaseless energy; working mindfully with ancestors; and expressing gratitude for the emerging blessings. 
We are each connected with the spiritual realm. Some may call spiritual forces ancestors, others angels or still others, the names of forms of divine power in their traditions. Whatever their names, these forces work intimately with us when we seek to be of service to others. When asked to perform an act of service beyond one’s abilities or education, there are those in the next world who can make suggestions.

Taking Privacy Seriously - How...

James B. Rule

A STEP-BY-STEP PROGRAM TO CREATE A MORE PRIVATE AND EGALITARIAN DIGITAL WORLD 
 
Taking Privacy Seriously offers both a hard-hitting assessment of the origins of today’s privacy-eroding practices and a robust road map for creating individual authority over our personal data. James B. Rule proposes eleven key reforms in the control and use of personal information—including far-reaching new rights for individuals and meaningful responsibilities for data-keeping organizations—all aimed at redressing the balance of power between ordinary citizens and data hungry corporate and government institutions. 
 
What a privacy-deprived America needs most is not less technology, Rule argues, but profound political realignment. His proposed reforms include the creation of websites that publicly document what organizations are holding what forms of personal data; the establishment of a right for citizens to withdraw from personal data systems not required by law; and the institution of a universal property right over commercial exploitation of data on oneself—so that no organization could profit from the use or sale of such data without permission. Succinct and compelling, Taking Privacy Seriously explains how we can refashion information technologies so that they serve human needs, not the other way around. 
 
“This book is direct, impatient (in the best way possible), and urgent. It doesn’t waste time summarizing all the things we already know about privacy in theUnited States, but instead asks, What is to be done? We need a book like this.”—David Murakami Wood, Professor, Department of Criminology, University of Ottawa

The Marauders - Standing Up to...

Patrick Strickland

This real-life Western tells the story of how citizens in a small Arizona border town stood up to anti-immigrant militias and vigilantes. 
 
 
 
The Marauders uncovers the riveting nonfiction saga of far-right militias terrorizing the border towns of southern Arizona. In one of the towns profiled, Arivaca, rogue militia members killed a man and his nine-year-old daughter in 2009. In response, the residents organized and spent two years trying to push  the new militias out through boycotts and by urging local businesses to  ban  them. The militias and vigilante groups again raised the stakes, spreading Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories alleging that town residents were complicit in child sex trafficking, prompting fears of vigilante violence. 
 
  
 
The Marauders flips the standard formula most often applied to stories about immigration and the far right. Too often those stories are told from the perspective of the ones committing the violence. While Strickland doesn't shy away from exploring those dark themes, the far right are not the protagonists of the book. Rather, the people targeted by hate groups, and the individuals who rose up to stop them in their tracks, are the heroes of this dramatic story.
