Sinopse

Hydropower Essentials explores the multifaceted world of hydropower, a critical renewable energy source that balances sustainable development with environmental considerations. The book delves into the engineering aspects of dams and turbines and examines hydropower's role in the global energy landscape. While hydropower offers a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, the text emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of its environmental consequences, such as reservoir emissions, which can contribute to greenhouse gases, and the effects on aquatic ecosystems.

 
The book systematically progresses from the basic principles of hydropower, including the conversion of potential and kinetic energy, to a detailed examination of various hydropower technologies like pumped storage and run-of-river systems. It uniquely integrates environmental impact assessments with technological overviews, addressing controversies like community displacement and ecosystem alteration head-on.

 
By exploring emerging trends such as small-scale hydropower and advanced turbine designs, Hydropower Essentials provides a balanced view of hydropower's present and future, making it valuable for anyone interested in sustainable energy solutions.

    Reduce energy costs and combat climate change with ISO 50001
    ISO 50001:2018, the international standard for energy management, provides a framework for organisations – both large and small – to manage and reduce their energy usage and associated costs. Implementing an effective EnMS (energy management system) that complies with ISO 50001 ensures that an organisation can:
    
    - Meet legal and contractual energy compliance requirements;
    - Save money by managing energy more efficiently;
    - Reduce its carbon footprint;
    - Increase energy security; and
    - Demonstrate a commitment to improved energy performance.
    With energy security concerns rising and climate change an existential threat, consumers are increasingly aware of sustainability issues.
    ISO 50001 – A strategic guide to establishing an energy management system provides a practical but strategic overview for leadership teams of what an EnMS is and how implementing one can bring added value to an organisation. It:
    
    - Explains how ISO 50001:2018 (which is based on ISO's Annex SL) differs from the previous version of the Standard;
    - Provides readers with a greater understanding of what energy management is and how taking a risk-based approach can save money and improve brand reputation; and
    - Covers how ISO 50001 can be implemented and how the EnMS can be integrated with other management systems, such as an ISO 14001 EMS (environmental management system).

  • The Fourth History of Man - cover

    The Fourth History of Man

    MD John Bershof

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Fourth History of Man continues with virus infections where The Third History of Man left off hashing-out those specks of genetic schmutz, covering the R-naught of those naughty infectious scoundrels. Some big hitters will be considered, from polio and the famous celebrities that had it, through fifty shades of hepatitis, rabies and the hair of the dog, and the monkey business of HIV and AIDS. Leaving viruses, we’ll delve into a study of parasites, including the parasite of all parasites, Sigourney Weaver’s alien. Opening up a can-of-worms we’ll launch a nerd rumble: who would win between Weaver’s Alien and Schwarzenegger’s Predator. Other topics include the sociology of a social death preceding the actual death, the sociology of sexual cannibalism, and the sociology of colors, not just of yellow fever, but of other emotions under the rainbow, hopefully not making you feel positively blue. On the science side we’ll flip the script on the infamous Krebs cycle fleeced of the boring jargon that usually flows from the lecture hall and our road will scrutinize nuclear bombs, nuclear footballs and weapons of mass destruction, the secret of Ondine’s curse, and lessons in global warming.

    Infinity of Worlds An - Cosmic...

    In the beginning was the Big Bang: an unimaginably hot fire almost fourteen billion years ago in which the first elements were forged. The physical theory of the hot nascent universe—the Big Bang—was one of the most consequential developments in twentieth-century science. And yet it leaves many questions unanswered: Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? In An Infinity of Worlds, physicist Will Kinney explains a more recent theory that may hold the answers to these questions and even explain the ultimate origins of the universe: cosmic inflation, before the primordial fire of the Big Bang. 
     
     
      
    Kinney argues that cosmic inflation is a transformational idea in cosmology, changing our picture of the basic structure of the cosmos and raising unavoidable questions about what we mean by a scientific theory. He explains that inflation is a remarkable unification of inner space and outer space, in which the physics of the very large (the cosmos) meets the physics of the very small (elementary particles and fields), closing in a full circle at the first moment of time. 
     
      
      
    Kinney considers the consequences of eternal cosmic inflation. Can we come to terms with the possibility that our entire observable universe is one of infinitely many, forever hidden from our view?
