  Nuclear Revolution - Powering...

  “Jack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of America’s great conservative thinkers.” — William Martin, Former Deputy Energy Secretary; Chair, Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee
  		 
  Skyrocketing energy prices are placing downward pressure on economic growth throughout the world. There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years. Some would impose energy rationing―or in other words, slow human progress. But with nearly 46 percent of the world’s population living on less than $5.50 per day, slowing human progress is unacceptable. The only solution is more energy and lots of it.
  		 
  Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades.
  		 
  Skeptics say that nuclear energy is too expensive and threatens the world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons material and radioactive waste. Proponents say that nuclear power needs and deserves the support of the state and the taxpayer, cradle to grave. The time has come, Spencer argues, to think big nuclear energy and pull it out of the time capsule that pop culture, environmental activists, lobbyists, peaceniks, and policymakers are all too content to leave nuclear in.
  		 
  Spencer writes that while the government-industry partnership that defined the early years of America’s commercial nuclear rise was essential to the nation’s security, reluctance to modernize that relationship has prevented the American nuclear industry from reaching its full potential. In its place, Spencer offers an alternative that shatters how we think about nuclear energy policy and realigns the responsibilities of government and industry with the incentives that will drive America to success.
  		 
  Nuclear Revolution describes why government intervention in the nuclear industry is a problem, how to move from the status quo to something new, and why such reforms will kick off an era of nuclear entrepreneurship and innovation. Over 70 years ago, nuclear energy entered the scene with great promise. Now more than ever, the world needs that promise delivered, and America can lead the way.

  Empiricism - Knowledge Through...

  Empiricism, as a philosophical doctrine, asserts that knowledge is primarily derived from sensory experience. This perspective contrasts sharply with rationalism, which emphasizes reason and innate knowledge. Empiricism has shaped our understanding of the world and influenced numerous fields, from the natural sciences to ethics and epistemology. The essence of empiricism lies in the conviction that the mind begins as a "blank slate" (tabula rasa) and that experience, rather than pre-existing ideas or concepts, forms the foundation of all knowledge. 
  At the heart of empiricist thought is the belief that all human knowledge starts with perception. We acquire information about the world through our senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—which provide the raw data from which we form concepts and beliefs. For empiricists, knowledge is not something we discover internally, but something we gather from external reality. This view stands in contrast to the rationalist emphasis on a priori knowledge, which is independent of experience and accessible only through reason. 
  Empiricism's roots can be traced back to ancient philosophy, with early proponents like Aristotle, who argued that all knowledge comes from sensory observation. However, the modern development of empiricism is largely credited to three major figures: John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume. Locke introduced the idea of the mind as a tabula rasa, arguing that individuals are born without innate ideas and that all knowledge comes from experience. Berkeley took this further by suggesting that even the existence of the external world depends on perception, encapsulating the notion that "to be is to be perceived." Hume, the most radical empiricist of the three, questioned the very basis of causality and inductive reasoning, asserting that our beliefs in cause-and-effect relationships were not rationally justified but arose from habitual experience.

  First published in 2012, Borders: A Very Short Introduction began with the premise that "we live in a very bordered world." The intervening decade has witnessed a flurry of events and developments that continue to highlight the centrality of borders in contemporary domestic and international affairs, as well as the interstices between the two, including sudden surges in migrant and refugees flows; renewed emphasis on traditional border security and wall construction; growing tensions concerning maritime sovereignty; rapid advances in cybersecurity, surveillance, and biometrics; expanded detention and deportation infrastructures; proliferation of transborder organizations; revived populist and nationalist sentiments; and protectionist and integrationist trade practices, to name some prominent examples from recent headlines. 
   
   
   
  This revised edition accounts for recent developments including Brexit, the 2015 migration crisis across Europe, efforts to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico, growing isolationist and nativist sentiments, demands for indigenous homelands, transnational protest movements, Russian cross-border incursions, and insurgencies and rebellions across much of North Africa and Southwest Asia.
