The conference was held from December 19-20, 2024, in Chennai, India, and was organized by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chennai Institute of Technology. ICAAMT 2024 provided a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas and knowledge, fostering collaboration and driving forward the frontiers of additive manufacturing.

ADVANCES IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES

The global market in money – housed in the offshore ‘shadow’ banking system – holds $217 trillion in financial assets and operates beyond the reach of any nation’s taxman. Asset managers, private equity firms, and pension and sovereign wealth funds scoop up the world’s savings for investment and manage them as they choose, unaccountable to politicians or the citizens who elect them. In this brilliant, accessible and incisive introduction to the murky world of glo­balized finance, Ann Pettifor links the activities of remote mobile financial markets to both the cost-of-living and climate crises. In an insane global casino, bankers are gambling with our future. When we foot the bill, no one but a few economists understands what has happened. The result is volatile, unpre­dictable and uncontrollable speculation in global commodities, pension, energy, and housing. Pettifor argues that societies and gov­ernments can take back control of the global financial system. We have done it before and can do it again. Indeed, it is imperative that we do so if we are to manage the twin threats of climate breakdown and biosphere collapse.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Economic incentives intended to catalyze environmentally responsible behavior have assumed a central role in confronting climate change, food insecurity, and natural resource degradation. Notwithstanding their promise, many programs underperform owing to methodological gaps, limited transparency, and insufficient regulatory oversight. Carbon Incentives, Plans, and Policies in Agriculture undertakes a critical appraisal of these constraints and advances evidence¿based propositions for strengthening carbon credit mechanisms across agricultural systems and value chains. The volume assembles a globally diverse authorship to synthesize emergent strategies and forward trajectories in carbon financing and monetization, green accounting, ecological and environmental economics, and carbon credit trading, while situating these within the broader sustainability imperatives of agroecosystems. Distinctive emphasis is placed on measurement and methodological rigor, including quantification protocols, MRV frameworks, and domain¿specific estimation approaches for soils, croplands, grasslands, and agroforestry, together with field-level interventions (e.g., energy and water use efficiency, best management practices, and green manuring) and technological enablement (notably, AI-supported assessment). Integrating scientific, policy, and economic perspectives, this book furnishes a conceptual and operational foundation for scholars, researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers seeking to design effective, transparent, and equitable governance and planning protocols for a low¿carbon agricultural transition.

'[A] page-turner of a book' -- Financial Times 'Breathtaking' -- Jon Lee Anderson 'A magnificent, earth-shaking achievement' -- Andrew Harding 'Vital' -- Sally Hayden 'Powerful, gripping and rigorously researched' -- Jason Burke 'The most astonishing piece of investigative journalism I have ever read' -- Reader review On March 24, 2021, in the remote north of Mozambique, 500 ISIS militants attacked the small, paradise beach town of Palma - strategically unimportant but for vast offshore gas fields that had attracted $50 billion in foreign investment, including over £1 billion from the British government. As the Islamists surged through town beheading civilians, a group of men, women and children - including 80 gas plant construction workers - barricaded themselves inside a hotel to await rescue. An oil and gas compound defended by attack helicopters and 1,000 soldiers was just minutes away. But help never came. Five years on, Alex Perry's spell-binding, meticulous reconstruction unearths a hidden and unprecedented fiasco. Woven into his account is a search for the truth about how energy companies really make their vast profits. His investigation takes him around the world, from Europe to the US, and back to Africa again, as he tracks down the roughnecks, mercenaries, billionaires, and corporate spooks who can shed light on our most essential industry. As the revelations build and the lies multiply, Perry finds himself drawn into a legal drama, and an exploding political scandal. Propulsive, prophetic, and arriving at a time when energy companies imperil the planet, Blood Will Flow delivers a morality tale for the global economy, and an inspiring quest for justice.

RSA Series in Transdisciplinary Rhetoric

An investigation into one of the largest and most lucrative mineral mining companies in the world, Rio Tinto, Extraction Politics reveals how the company constructs a presence in the places it operates and shapes meanings and orientations toward the environment. Taking readers on a "rhetorical pilgrimage" across the American Southwest, Nicholas Paliewicz shows how Rio Tinto creates adaptable corporate identities. From Ronald Reagan's frontiersman advertisements for the Borax Mine in California to the pioneer Mormon persona at Bingham Canyon Mine in Salt Lake City and the folksy, paternalistic perspective toward the San Carlos Apache at the proposed mine at Oak Flat, Arizona, the company appropriates local history to embed itself as a valued member of the public--without having to settle in those ecological communities and bear the costs of extraction. This does not occur without resistance, however. Paliewicz also shows how activists use these same tactics to expose Rio Tinto as an exploitative, colonialist polluter.In an era of surging demand for dwindling supplies of minerals and metals, this book previews what the future of extractivism may look like. Extraction Politics will appeal to scholars and students of environmental communication and activist politics as well as general readers interested in the climate crisis.

'Bojan Pancevski verbindet investigativen Spürsinn mit geopolitischem Weitblick und beleuchtet nicht nur, wie die Nord-Stream-Pipelines zerstört wurden, sondern auch, warum sie für Europas Energieversorgung, Sicherheit und politische Zukunft von so großer Bedeutung sind. Ein echter Pageturner.' -Peter Frankopan, Autor des SPIEGEL-Bestsellers 'Licht aus dem Osten'Basierend auf langjähriger Recherche und dem Zugang zu Saboteuren und Vermittlern, deren Vorgesetzten sowie hochrangigen Geheimdienstvertretern wie den Chefs von CIA und BND rekonstruiert der preisgekrönte Wall-Street-Journal-Autor erstmals die gesamte Geheimoperation, ihre politischen Hintergründe und ihre Auswirkungen.Für diesen geopolitischen Thriller aus dem wirklichen Leben hat der Pulitzer-Finalist über drei Jahre hinweg mit ukrainischen Attentätern, russischen Geheimdienstgenerälen, US-Masterspionen und deutschen Chefermittlern gesprochen. Er interviewte Staats- und Regierungschefs sowie Topbeamte, die im Schatten ihren Einfluss ausüben.Er verfolgte die Spur bis ins Kanzleramt, ins Weiße Haus, in den Kreml und hinter die Stahlbetonwände des 'Aquariums', wie der Sitz der berüchtigten GRU genannt wird.Schließlich verbrachte er mehrere Monate in der Ukraine, wo er etwa ein Dutzend Mitglieder einer Eliteeinheit aus Spezialkommandos und Geheimdienstlern kennenlernte. Gemeinsam mit einer kleinen Gruppe ziviler Tiefseetaucher planten und führten sie die Nord-Stream-Sprengung durch.Die komplexe Verschwörung wurde dank einer simplen deutschen Radarfalle und einer handelsüblichen Gesichtserkennungssoftware aufgedeckt.Dieses Buch erzählt erstmals die kinoreifen Geschichten der Täter und Ermittler. Zusammen ergibt sich daraus ein geopolitischer Thriller, ein Spiel mit schwindelerregend hohen Einsätzen.Wie der Zuschauer eines Pokerspiels mit hohem Einsatz hatte der Autor das seltene Privileg, beiden Seiten über die Schulter und in die Karten schauen zu können, bevor sie diese ausspielten.Eine hochexplosive Geschichte über Himmelfahrtskommandos, wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeiten, Souveränitätsverletzungen, menschlichen Wagemut und politische Verantwortung - und über den Moment, in dem der Krieg Deutschland erreicht 'So gewagt und fesselnd wie die Sabotage selbst, überzeugt das Buch in seinen Details durch faktenreiche Präzision.' -Ivan Krastev, Politologe und Autor von Das Licht, das erlosch 'Mit dem scharfen Blick eines Journalisten für Details und dem Gespür eines Filmregisseurs für Tempo erzählt Bojan Pancevski eine Geschichte, die man nicht aus der Hand legen will.' -Fiona Hill, ehemalige Russlandberaterin im Nationalen Sicherheitsrat der USA
