    To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
    It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
    But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

    The Mission
    This book explores how coatings contribute to global sustainability goals, going beyond performance optimisation to include life cycle assessment, emission categorisation, and the principles of circular economy. By linking chemical formulation, process engineering, and environmental responsibility, the book aims to redefine the role of coatings as active contributors to climate protection rather than passive materials of consumption.
    The Audience
    As a guide serves "Sustainability of Coatings" for formulation chemists, process engineers, R&D specialists, and decision-makers responsible for environmental strategies. Whether from academia or industry, readers will find both conceptual frameworks and practical methodologies for quantifying, comparing, and improving the ecological performance of coating systems – from raw material selection to end-of-life considerations.
    The Value
    Offering a holistic view of the coatings life cycle, the book bridges scientific knowledge and industrial practice. It empowers readers to apply life cycle analysis, understand emission scopes, and design coatings with lower carbon footprints while maintaining functional and aesthetic quality. Through detailed discussions on various coating types – solvent-based, water-borne, powder, and radiation-curable – it delivers actionable insights into how sustainability can align with efficiency and innovation.
    Teasertext:
    Sustainability is becoming a defining principle in coating technology. Sustainability of Coatings provides a clear and comprehensive overview of how ecological and carbon footprints shape the future of surface protection and design. From life cycle assessment and emission scopes to practical strategies for sustainable formulation and process optimization, this book connects environmental science with industrial application. A must-read for chemists, engineers, and decision-makers seeking to combine performance, efficiency, and climate responsibility in modern coating systems.

    In May 2018 NASA called a press conference to announce the successful test-run of their tiny nuclear reactor KRUSTY (Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology). This revolutionary technology, which runs on heat alone, may have profound consequences for the future of mankind, enabling us to maintain permanent bases on the Moon, on Mars, and other planets, and eventually power a starship. On earth too it could have enormous benefits as a new way to generate power at a time when climate change is threatening our very existence. 
     
     
     
    This book is the amazing story behind this invention, which began with Robert Stirling's original designs for a heat exchange engine in 1816. An invention truly ahead of its time, the practical application of the Stirling Engine has taxed the minds of scientists and inventors for almost 200 years. Only now is it possible for its full potential to be realized. Phillip Hills weaves science and history together to tell the story of one of the most exciting scientific developments the world has ever seen.
