Geofuels: Energy and the Earth.

Author:
Publisher: Cambridge University Press.
Date of publ.:
Details: cm.15x23, pp.VIII,362, brossura con copertina figurata a colori.

Abstract: Our energy use and its consequences (including climate change) motivate some of the most contentious and complex public debates of our time. Although these issues are often cast in terms of renewable versus non-renewable energy, in reality both depend on finite Earth resources. The evolution of the Earth itself therefore offers a uniquely illuminating perspective from which to evaluate alternative pathways toward energy and environmental sustainability. Geofuels: Energy and the Earth systematically develops this perspective using informal, nontechnical language laced with humor. It is well suited to a broad readership, ranging from beginning university students to lifelong learners who are interested in how the Earth's past will influence their own future. It also provides simplified explanations of controversial topics, such as energy return on energy investment, peak oil, and fracking. The focus throughout is on building a sound physical understanding of how natural resources constrain our use of energy.

New York, DC Comics 2004, cm.17x26, pp.128, paperback. In the best tradition of Batman: Year One and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Gotham Central continues the 'film noir' makeover of the Batman mythology! Be it Mister Freeze or Firebug, in Gotham City, there's a whole new class of criminal that needs a new calibre of crime fighter. And while Batman gets all the glory, the cops on the streets continue dealing with the usual run-of-the-mill human misery. But what happens when the streams cross, when a dead girl and the return of a super-arsonist are linked? This is NYPD Blue as comics, gritty and raw, with no capes or utility belts - just gut instinct, blind fear and selfless couragel It's business as usual at Gotham Central...
