Beschreibung

Dams of China explores the extensive construction of dams in China, examining both the technological achievements and the resulting environmental and social impacts. It highlights significant projects like the Three Gorges Dam, detailing their engineering and operational characteristics. The book argues that while dams offer benefits such as energy production and flood control, their environmental and social costs often go underestimated. Notably, satellite imagery analysis is used to assess reservoir sedimentation and erosion showcasing the book's data-driven approach. The book systematically progresses from the history of dam construction in China to detailed case studies of major dams. It delves into a rigorous environmental impact assessment using ecological data and hydrological studies, followed by a comprehensive analysis of social impacts, including effects on local communities and cultural heritage. Ultimately, Dams of China proposes strategies for sustainable water resource management, balancing development with environmental protection and social equity, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, engineers, and environmental scientists.

    What is life? For generations, scientists have struggled to make sense of this fundamental question, for life really does look like magic: even a humble bacterium accomplishes things so dazzling that no human engineer can match it. Huge advances in molecular biology over the past few decades have served only to deepen the mystery. 
     
     
     
    In this penetrating and wide-ranging book, world-renowned physicist and science communicator Paul Davies searches for answers in a field so new and fast-moving that it lacks a name; it is a domain where biology, computing, logic, chemistry, quantum physics, and nanotechnology intersect. At the heart of these diverse fields, Davies explains, is the concept of information: a quantity which has the power to unify biology with physics, transform technology and medicine, and force us to fundamentally reconsider what it means to be alive—even illuminating the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe. 
     
     
     
    The Demon in the Machine journeys across an astounding landscape of cutting-edge science. Weaving together cancer and consciousness, two-headed worms and bird navigation, Davies reveals how biological organisms garner and process information to conjure order out of chaos, opening a window onto the secret of life itself.

    Energy powers every aspect of modern life. From the moment we wake up and turn on the lights to the devices we use, the transportation we rely on, and the industries that fuel our economies, energy consumption is deeply embedded in our daily existence. However, few of us stop to consider the true cost of our energy habits—both visible and hidden. While energy provides convenience and economic growth, it also carries significant environmental, social, and economic consequences that often go unnoticed.  
    One of the most overlooked aspects of energy consumption is its environmental impact. The majority of the world's energy still comes from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Burning these fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which contribute to climate change. Rising global temperatures lead to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems. Additionally, extracting and transporting fossil fuels result in deforestation, oil spills, and water contamination, all of which further degrade the planet.  
    Beyond environmental concerns, energy consumption has a direct impact on human health. Air pollution from power plants, vehicle emissions, and industrial activities causes respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and premature deaths. Communities near coal mines or oil refineries suffer from higher rates of illness due to exposure to toxic chemicals. In developing countries, millions still rely on wood, charcoal, or kerosene for cooking and heating, leading to indoor air pollution that is responsible for millions of deaths each year.

    Diet is key to understanding the past, present, and future of our species. Much of human evolutionary success can be attributed to our ability to consume and preserve a wide range of foods. Technological advances changed the types of foods we eat. With this consideration, How Technological Advances Change Human Food weaves together various themes, starting with human evolution, moving on to methods of food preservation, and continuing with the evolution of cooking methods. Issues relating to sustainability are also reported, including green food processing, vertical farming, and edible insect farming. There is a close link between what we eat and the development of our gut microbiota; thus, this book covers the evolution and adaptation of microbiota. 
     
    Key Features:
