Carbon Offset Debate

Sinopse

Carbon Offset Debate delves into the complexities of carbon offset programs, questioning their effectiveness as genuine climate change mitigation tools versus potential diversions. The book explores the history of carbon markets from the Kyoto Protocol onward, examining the economic principles, such as supply and demand for carbon credits, and regulatory frameworks that govern them. A key focus is on whether carbon accounting methodologies are robust enough to ensure real emissions reductions, and if offset projects deliver promised benefits without harming local communities. For instance, reforestation projects, while seemingly beneficial, must guarantee permanence to truly offset emissions.

 
The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts such as additionality, permanence, and leakage, then critically examining carbon credit calculation methodologies and governance structures. Socio-economic impacts on local communities are investigated, including land rights and benefit-sharing.

 
The book provides case studies and analysis of carbon market data, offering recommendations for policymakers and businesses. Ultimately, Carbon Offset Debate aims to provide a balanced perspective on contentious issues, helping readers navigate the carbon markets and make informed decisions about climate action and sustainability strategies.

Every Storm Runs Out of Rain -...

Amy Moudy Comeau

A week-by-week account of the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of a different kind of health care front line worker—a marketing leader—at one of the nation’s and world’s leading health care systems.  
"This candid collection of daily emails from a health industry insider offers a unique glimpse at the daily realities of working during Covid. From pandemic fatigue to staycations and Thanksgivings on Zoom, these stories will take you back to a time you might want to forget. Despite the understandable urge to leave the pandemic behind, Comeau proves that sometimes looking back can not only be therapeutic ... it might offer exactly the perspective we all need to continue to move forward too."  
- Rohit Bhargava, WSJ Bestselling Author of Non-Obvious Thinking + Non-Obvious Megatrends 
During the early stages of coronavirus, Amy Moudy Comeau, MBA, an award-winning and acclaimed marketing executive, began writing weekly emails to her Emory Healthcare marketing team every Friday, as a form of encouragement and support to get them through eight weeks of shelter-in-place, which turned into a three-year pandemic. 
Amy’s Friday emails became a weekly tradition, providing support and even levity during this transformational time. Years later, these time-stamped entries, along with present-day commentary from the author giving insight and hindsight reflections on the pandemic, leadership, self-care and marketing, provide a unique snapshot back into those “unprecedented” days of the pandemic.  
Every Storm Runs Out of Rain gives insightful lessons on leadership and resilience, and finding the silver lining in the middle of a crisis.

The Software Engineer's...

Gergely Orosz

In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance.
By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions.
This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more.
This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers.
We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally.
Praise for the book
“From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path
"Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify

Mathematical and Computational...

Mark Hedges

Physics is the language of the universe, and mathematics is the foundation upon which it is built. From the fundamental equations that describe motion and energy to the advanced techniques used in modern physics research, mathematical methods are essential for understanding and predicting physical phenomena. Mathematical physics provides the rigorous framework needed to express the laws of nature, while computational methods enable scientists to solve complex equations, simulate physical systems, and analyze vast amounts of data. 
In this collection, we explore the essential mathematical techniques used by physicists, including calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and group theory. We also delve into computational physics, where numerical simulations and algorithmic problem-solving play a crucial role in advancing scientific discovery. Whether modeling the behavior of quantum systems, simulating planetary motion, or analyzing chaotic systems, the fusion of mathematics and computation provides the tools necessary to push the boundaries of our understanding. This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to grasp the powerful techniques that drive modern physics.
