Sinopse

Ice Habitat Designs explores innovative architectural and engineering approaches for constructing sustainable and resilient living spaces in extreme cold environments, such as the Arctic and Antarctica. The book addresses the growing need for such solutions due to climate change's impact on these vulnerable regions. It investigates existing structures, traditional building methods used by indigenous communities, and cutting-edge technologies, arguing for a synergistic approach that balances technological advancement with ecological understanding. Discover how bio-inspired designs, mimicking natural insulation and structural stability found in polar ecosystems, can revolutionize cold climate architecture.

The book's unique value lies in its pragmatic, solutions-focused perspective, integrating Earth Sciences Geography, Sustainable Engineering, and Material Science. It begins by outlining the challenges of inhabiting extreme cold environments, including physiological and environmental hurdles. Later chapters delve into bio-inspired design, analyzing nature's solutions to insulation and stability, and explore advanced materials like aerogels and high-performance composites. It culminates in presenting comprehensive design concepts for self-sustaining habitats, incorporating renewable energy and waste management systems.

Through case studies, detailed analyses of indigenous techniques, and material science data, Ice Habitat Designs offers practical guidance for creating functional and environmentally responsible structures.

What We Know about Climate...

Kerry Emanuel

This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).

This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.

What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
