Traduzione di C.V.Letizia. Milano, Adelphi 2000, cm.15x23, pp.214, brossura soprac.fig.a col. Coll.Fabula. Sir Hugo Coal non è mai stato un filantropo. Anche quando non vegetava sulla sedia a rotelle, aveva la tendenza a considerare gli esseri umani meno comprensibili ed eleganti dell'enorme scheletro di sauro che andava pazientemente ricostruendo. Ma quello che vede ora, nella sua villa, nei rari momenti in cui i suoi familiari non lo costringono a fissare una parete, gli piace anche meno. E' chiaro che Fledge, l'ambiguo maggiordomo, sta ordendo una sua trama assai sinistra. Di quella trama la moglie, la figlia e sir Hugo stesso, fanno più o meno consapevolmente parte.

Cambridge University Press 2015, cm.15x23, pp.VIII,362, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. 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.
