A marvelously illustrated look at bats from around the world The only mammals capable of flight, bats are found on every major continent on the planet. They perform crucial roles in the ecosystems they inhabit, from consuming insect pests over agricultural crops and forests to pollinating night-flowering plants, dispersing seeds in tropical biomes, and recycling nutrients and creating natural fertilizer. Many of the world’s 1,400 species are threatened or endangered due to habitat destruction, climate change, and persecution arising from harmful myths. This beautifully illustrated guide demystifies these fascinating creatures, blending the latest science with fact-filled profiles of representative species, from the tiny bumblebee bat to the imposing giant golden crowned flying fox. A must for bat lovers everywhere, Bats of the World showcases the extraordinary diversity of this incredible group of animals. <ul><li>Features a wealth of stunning color photos and engaging infographics</li><li>Shares invaluable insights into the anatomy, evolution, and behavior of bats and their cultural and ecological importance</li><li>Profiles bats from every family, detailing their unique features, distribution, numbers, conservation status, and habitat</li><li>Written by leading experts in bat ecology and conservation</li></ul>

State-of-the-art, multidisciplinary guide delivering pathways to net-zero carbon emissions in steel production and circular resource flow through the Bio Steel Cycle Circular Steel Production introduces the concept of the Bio Steel Cycle, exploring several innovative research directions in the field of carbon avoidance, utilization, and sequestration of carbon emissions in steel manufacturing. Carbon emission avoidance and reduction processes and projects are investigated in great detail within the workings of the Bio Steel Cycle model, covering technologies such as Geomimetic, GrInHy2.0, H2Future, HYBRIT, ULCOWIN, DAC, CEPS, COREX, MIDREX, TGRBF, HISARNA, Everest, ReclaMet, Athos, HDR/HDRI, and many others. The circular flow of various resources as one of the key elements of the Bio Steel Cycle are explained in detail, with approximately 50 different methods summarized, along with skill sets required for effective implementation of these methods. Most of the green steel projects within the EU and beyond which are currently underway are also commented upon. The opportunities for green steel (by country) are discussed in some detail, as well as the nationally determined contributions, the effects of implemented policy and decarbonisation efforts. Written by a team of experts with many years of industry experience, Circular Steel Production provides in-depth coverage of topics including: <ul> <li>Raw materials including iron ore, coal, and lime, and blast furnace, oxygen furnace, and electric arc furnace operation and the level of CO2 emissions along the production pathway for each resource required for the steelmaking process</li> <li>Anaerobic digestion, sewage treatment, and geothermal units, CO2 avoidance, capture, and utilisation mechanisms, and renewable energy technology utilization</li> <li>Wind, solar, and hydro power, biogas, biomass, and hydrogen, and the opportunities of greater energy independence via sustainable steel production</li> <li>The future of green steel in various countries including the UK, the USA, Brazil, and India</li> <li>Ideal timeline of possible adoption of the Bio Steel Cycle model and strategy in the realms of politics, investments, and infrastructure</li> </ul> Circular Steel Production is an essential forward-thinking reference on the subject for professionals in the steel and manufacturing industries, academia, materials scientists, environmental chemists, engineers and engineering students, and metallurgists.

Pathways to Net-Zero Carbon Emissions

Circular Steel Production

A landmark practical guide from the twenty-first-century pioneer in economics. Experimental economics--generating and interpreting data to understand human decisions, motivations, and outcomes--is today all but synonymous with economics as a discipline. The advantages of the experimental method for understanding causal effects make it the gold standard for an increasingly empirical field. But until now the discipline has lacked comprehensive and definitive guidance for how to optimally design and conduct economic experiments. For more than 30 years, John A. List has been at the forefront of using experiments to advance economic knowledge, expanding the domain of economic experiments from the lab to the real-world. Experimental Economics is his A-to-Z compendium for students and researchers on the ground floor of designing, conducting, analyzing, and interpreting data that they generate. List seeks not only to guide readers on how to develop and implement their experimental projects--everything from design to administrative and ethical considerations--but to help them avoid all the mistakes he's made in his career, too. Experimental Economics codifies its author's refined approach to the design, execution, and analysis of laboratory and field experiments. It is a milestone work poised to become the definitive reference for the next century of economics (and economists).

Die Erzählung schildert die tragische und gleichermaßen groteske Geschichte des Schweizers Stephan Hugentobler alias Steve Huge, der als erster Mensch den Mars betrat und als Mordverdächtiger auf abenteuerliche und nie ganz geklärte Weise auf die Erde zurückkehrte. Es ist die Geschichte eines Menschen, der auf ungewöhnliche Weise sterben wollte und daran scheiterte.
Im Buch zeichnet der Autor nach, wie es dazu kam und wie alles endete.

Earth was destroyed on June 12, 2180. Lieutenant Selene Genji watched it happen. And only she can prevent it.&nbsp; Thrown forty years into the past, into a time before the Universal War began, Genji can only guess what to do to&nbsp;change the events that led to the death of all humanity. She has no way of knowing&nbsp;the long-term impacts of her actions&nbsp;and must depend on her instincts.&nbsp; But many of the people Genji is&nbsp;trying to save want her dead. Her creation was an experiment: a fusing of human and alien DNA. To them, she’s&nbsp;a monster who can’t&nbsp;be trusted, a tool of the aliens who have just made first contact.&nbsp; Fortunately, she has an unshakable ally in Lieutenant Kayl Owen, who has risked everything to help her mission.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A wonderful book' - Tristan Gooley, author of How To Read A Tree 'Unique and thrilling' - Ben Rawlance, author of The Treeline 'A celebration of the oak as nature's masterpiece' - Daniel Lewis, author of Twelve Trees 'A glorious, revelatory tale of a tree that enlarges our world' - Patrick Barkham, author of The Butterfly Isles The enchanting biography of an ancient tree. For over two centuries, as rulers have risen and fallen and wars have raged, one majestic oak tree has lived out an epic drama. From germination in 1780 to adapting to the changing climate of the modern age, its struggles and triumphs took place far from human eyes. That is, until one day a young man named Laurent Tillon came across it, and a decades-long relationship began ... In this dazzling book, biodiversity expert Tillon narrates the story of the tree he calls Quercus. Evoking the richness which is all around us, he reveals that Quercus is embedded in a network of ever-shifting relationships, from close alliances between plants and animals to battles between insects, birds and fungi. A book of ecology unlike any other, Being An Oak offers a tree-eyed view of life on earth. Translated by the award-winning translator Jessica Moore.
