Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Balancing Economic and Environmental Realities addresses the complex interplay between clean energy, environmental sustainability, and economic development. This comprehensive analysis of the three 'E' aspects-energy, environment, and economy-explores how they can collectively foster a resilient and green future. The book thoroughly examines the challenges and opportunities presented by green energy adoption, providing insights into how these practices can be aligned with sustainable development goals. By addressing conflicting interests across various disciplines, the text offers innovative strategies for promoting harmony among these critical areas. From foundational concepts to practical applications, the book covers a wide range of topics essential for understanding the nexus of energy efficiency and sustainability. Readers will find discussions on the interconnections between energy efficiency and consumer behavior, trends in renewable energy adoption, and the impact of development on energy consumption. Additionally, the book highlights the role of digitalization, international alliances, and policy frameworks in advancing sustainable practices. With case studies and actionable recommendations, it equips readers with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of promoting energy efficiency and sustainable development across various sectors. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Balancing Economic and Environmental Realities is an invaluable resource for a diverse audience, including academics, researchers, policymakers and professionals working in the fields of energy policy, economics, environmental science and sustainable development as well as students studying related fields.

Practical Probability and Reliability Methods for Civil and Environmental Engineering sets out useful probabilistic methods and their efficient implementations across civil engineering, including transportation and traffic, hydrosystems, environmental, geotechnical and structural engineering.The book aims to overcome conceptual and implementation hurdles surrounding probability methods for civil and environmental engineers and serves as a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It makes use of Microsoft Excel's versatile constrained optimization Solver tool, using some simple VBA codes, including FORM, SORM, system reliability, importance sampling, direct MCS, and response surface techniques.Solutions can be downloaded free for hands-on appreciation and deeper understanding. PowerPoint slides based on the book are available for adopting course instructors. The book pairs well with the author's Reliability-Based Design in Soil and Rock Engineering (CRC Press, 2021).

Fundamentals and Practice of Nuclear Logging: A Subsurface Measurement Technique delves into the basic physics employed in nuclear measurements. It explores the use of these principles in tool design and interpretation. First used in 1939 to probe the subsurface, nuclear/atomic techniques now play a crucial role in down-hole physics measurements of geological media. This book is a valuable resource for upper division and graduate students, offering insight into the fundamentals and serving as a reference for practitioners. In addition, the book discusses the safety and security challenges associated with radionuclide-based techniques and highlights the research aimed at mitigating these risks through advanced generator-based methods. It emphasizes the dynamic characterization of geological formations and well-bores, providing a range of interpretations unattainable through other subsurface techniques. This comprehensive guide is essential for those seeking to understand the evolving landscape of nuclear logging practices.

Fundamentals and Practice of Nuclear Logging

We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and thrive. This book travels to the far frontiers of the planet, and of human culture and consciousness; to the edges of continents, of evolution, of artistic and political movements, and of life itself: from a rocky precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented; from St Francis, kissing lepers' sores to the giant bird-eating mice of St Kilda. Why do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality - the Government or the dispossessed? And what happens when we live with the knowledge that we're all teetering on the edge of the dark?

The Edges of the World

On the unlikely politics of ‘inner-prepping’

The Revolution Will Be Internalised

Rebecca Solnit offers a thrilling account of the sheer breadth and scale of social, political, scientific, and cultural change over the past three quarters of a century. 
 
In this sequel to her enduring bestseller&nbsp;Hope in the Dark, Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the year 1960. Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability. 
 
The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized. 
 
While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.

Notes on a World Dying and Being Born

The Beginning Comes After the End

Nature wants to heal, and we can help. We know that when Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance? As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work individually but how whole complex ecosystems work to regulate themselves. When we set the right conditions for nature to thrive, each species helps to support the life of every other species. This means not just planting trees, but taking into account the fascinating role of fungi and soil bacteria, as well as the free movement of wild animals. By revealing how the feedback loops that generate sustainable ecosystems give rise to the stars, planets, and life; economic inequality and privilege; and the way we see the world, Nature's Echo shows how we can do our part so that nature can begin the vital process of healing itself.

How Not to Save the World

Routledge Studies in Environmental Communication and Media

This book explores twenty-first century environment-themed advertising with a global reach in relation to three key emerging persuasive themes: governance, morality and transnational rhetoric. Adopting a social semiotic approach, and exploring key examples including Greenpeace's "Everything is NOT Awesome" brandjacking advert, Volkswagen's "Think Blue" campaign and Unilever's "Why Bring a Child Into This World?" advert, Alexander puts forward a number of observations about the ideological character and function of environmental advertising as a new form of transnational persuasion.
