LEY ORGANICA DE MINAS

On the brink of discovering who - or what - lies behind
 her mother's death, Rosie Frost begins a new adventure with a
 murder to solve, revenge on her mind, and more questions than she
 has answers.
 It's a new term at Heverbridge School and Bloodstone Island is
 in turmoil: mutant animals are on the loose, jealous
 classmates want to bring Rosie down, and,
 even worse, there's a black hole to deal with. Below
 the island's surface, an everlasting star is growing in strength
 and it just may end them all.
 Rosie discovers the northside of the island, home to the alluring
 Imperium Palace. But is the palace one of scientific genius or
 deadly menace?
 While she fights to know the truth about her past - and her family's
 ancient ties to Bloodstone - Rosie begins to wonder if the
 price for the truth may be too high. She must discover
 what she's really made of as a fresh danger puts her new home - and
 all that she loves - at risk.
 <ul>
 <li>Written by Spice Girl, songwriter and author
 Geri Halliwell-Horner</li>
 <li>With a thrilling mix of history, mystery, nature, music and adventure,
 this book is a brilliant read for everyone</li>
 <li>Determined and big-hearted, Rosie Frost is a new kind of hero
 for today's young readers</li>
 </ul>
 
 What are readers saying about the international bestseller
 Rosie Frost &amp; the Falcon Queen?
 'A captivating mystery and adventure . . . [that] features
 quick pacing, fun and engaging worldbuilding, and a lead character
 who is easy to root for. Exuberant, action-packed, and warmhearted.'
 Kirkus Reviews
 'Readers will be bursting to visit Bloodstone Island, with
 its rare creatures and old secrets. If an English boarding school
 on an island full of wild, rare animals isn't enough to grab readers,
 Rosie Frost, an empowering new heroine, certainly will.'
 School Library Journal
 'An effervescent fantasy series . . . smart twists rooted
 in real-life history add excitement, and Anne Boleyn's indomitable
 spirit literally and figuratively haunts this lively debut, inspiring
 Rosie and propelling the tale's feminist, eco-preservationist
 message.' Publishers Weekly

Rosie Frost: Ice on Fire

'Methodically exposes, with powerful evidence, how nuclear power is unneeded, uneconomic, unsafe and unreliable'&nbsp;Ralph Nader, co-author of The Menace of Atomic Energy

'Rigorous and comprehensive'&nbsp;Kate Hudson,&nbsp;former General Secretary of&nbsp;CND

'Does a great service in highlighting the nuclear chain reaction and exposing the huge human and environmental costs'&nbsp;Jeremy Corbyn, British politician and Member of Parliament

There is no silver bullet for the climate crisis-but that hasn't stopped people searching. Seizing its chance, the nuclear power industry wants us to believe that theirs is the only technical fix for our deliverance. Unsurprisingly, politicians and the media have been easily swayed. After all, the pro-nuclear PR campaign is richly funded and has an army of lobbyists sowing myths, ultimately influencing public opinion.

No To Nuclear calls the industry's bluff. Blasting aside its claims to be safe and green, Linda Pentz Gunter makes the irresistible case that nuclear power is too slow, too expensive, too dangerous and too connected to the nuclear weapons complex, to serve as a rational energy choice. The book also delves into the lives of Indigenous peoples and marginalised communities, who have been harmed the most by the nuclear sector, and questions whether the way we devalue our environment is costing us the chance of a genuinely just energy transition.

Linda Pentz Gunter founded the US-based non-profit Beyond Nuclear and serves as its international specialist. A journalist for 25 years, working with Reuters, The Times and USA Network, she now writes features for the Morning Star and Capitol Hill Citizen.

Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives, Derails Climate Progress and Provokes War

The Shadow Pony

A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST SUMMER BOOK OF 2024AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR SO FAR FOR 2024LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION, AND THE FT BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDThe trillion-dollar battle for the resources to power our future. Oil and gas defined the twentieth century. Now lithium, copper, cobalt, rare earths and nickel will define the twenty-first. The world is moving towards replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. But building electric vehicles, solar panels, and millions of other devices requires digging more mines. Critical minerals are vital to many sustainable technologies, and the competition for them is intensifying. Nations which aspire to energy independence are ever more intertwined: a hedge fund manager's attempt to revive rare earths mining in California needs Chinese expertise, and international reliance on Africa's mining sector persists despite concern over child labour. Meanwhile, ecological dilemmas abound: a proposed lithium mine in Nevada would help global car manufacturers slash their dependence on fossil fuels, but developing that mine could cause the extinction of a flower found nowhere else on the planet. As investors attempt to predict how the geopolitics of resource extraction will unfold, this is a story of the industry giants, researchers, and policymakers at the forefront of the new energy wars.

Lithium, copper, and the global battle to power our lives

The War Below: AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 ‘TODAY’

Bitcoin - One Answer to Many Questions

Literatur und Ökonomie

Die Klimakrise und die Forderung nach einer nachhaltigen Energiewende prägen die gesellschaftspolitischen Diskussionen. Vor dem Hintergrund gehen die Beiträge aus literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive der Darstellung von Braun- und Steinkohle in der Literatur von 1850 bis zur Gegenwart nach. Angelehnt an die Energy und Environmental Humanities untersuchen sie die Präsentation fossiler Energien in unterschiedlichen Regionen (Ruhrgebiet, Lausitz, Schlesien) sowie in verschiedenen Gattungen wie der Familienzeitschrift "Die Gartenlaube", Reportagen oder Science-Fiction-Literatur. Als Wissensobjekt stößt Kohle Transformationen an, zugleich durchläuft sie selbst Veränderungen. Das zeigt sich in Texten von u.a. Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, Wolfgang Hilbig oder Jules Verne sowie in geologischen, stofflichen und ästhetischen Kohlekontexten. "Fossile Fiktionen" bietet somit einen Einblick in die literarische Auseinandersetzung mit fossilen Energien und deren kultureller Bedeutung.

Kohle als Energiequelle in der Literatur von 1850 bis zur Gegenwart

Fossile Fiktionen

Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals—essential for the decarbonization of our economies—and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global “energy transition”—the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world’s economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs. In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia’s seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress? With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

A Story of War, Technology, and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth

The Elements of Power

In this magisterial book, historian Sunil Amrith twins the stories of environment and Empire, of genocide and eco-cide, of an extraordinary expansion of human freedom and its planetary costs. Drawing on an extraordinarily rich diversity of primary sources, he reckons with the ruins of Portuguese silver mining in Peru, British gold mining in South Africa, and oil extraction in Central Asia. He explores the railroads and highways that brought humans to new terrains of battle against each other and against stubborn nature. Amrith's account of the ways in which the First and Second World Wars involved the massive mobilization not only of men, but of other natural resources from around the globe, provides an essential new way of understanding war as an irreversible reshaping of the planet. So too does this book reveal the reality of migration as consequence of environmental harm.
The imperial, globe-spanning pursuit of profit, joined with new forms of energy and new possibilities of freedom from hunger and discomfort, freedom to move and explore, has brought change to every inch of the Earth. Amrith relates in gorgeous prose, and on the largest canvas, a mind-altering epic-vibrant with stories, characters, and vivid images-in which humanity might find the collective wisdom to save itself.

An Environmental History of the Last 500 Years

The Burning Earth

Kryptowährungen sind weit mehr als ein kurzfristiger Spekulationstrend. Bitcoin, Ethereum und andere digitale Assets haben sich zu einem festen Bestandteil des globalen Finanzsystems entwickelt - mit Eigenschaften, die sie grundlegend von unserem Geld unterscheiden. Dieses Buch zeigt, warum Kryptowährungen als digitales Pendant zu endlichen Rohstoffen wie Gold verstanden werden können und weshalb insbesondere Bitcoin völlig zu Recht zunehmend als "digitales Gold" wahrgenommen wird.

Bitcoin hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren von einem Nischenexperiment zu einer Krypto-Weltleitwährung entwickelt. Seine strikte Begrenzung, seine Dezentralität und seine Unabhängigkeit von staatlicher Geldpolitik machen ihn für immer mehr Privatanleger, Vermögensverwalter und institutionelle Investoren attraktiv. Langfristige Analysen zeigen zudem: Mit wachsendem Anlagehorizont sinkt das Verlustrisiko erheblich - ein zentraler Aspekt für strategisch orientierte Anleger.

Gleichzeitig geraten die strukturellen Schwächen unseres heutigen Geldsystems immer stärker in den Fokus. Geld entsteht durch Kreditvergabe, Stabilität erfordert stetig wachsende Verschuldung. Wer Vermögen schützen will, sollte sich daher nicht ausschließlich auf klassische Finanzstrukturen verlassen.

Im Zentrum dieses Buches stehen die drei entscheidenden Krypto-Erfolgsfaktoren: Technologie, Ökonomie und Regulierung. Im Vorwort bringt Bodo Schäfer diesen Ansatz auf den Punkt: Erfolg entsteht nicht aus Hoffnung oder Angst, sondern aus Verständnis und Struktur. Technologie bildet das Fundament - wer Blockchain, Dezentralität, Wallets und Verwahrung nicht versteht, investiert blind. Ökonomie ist der zweite Pfeiler: Kryptowährungen folgen klaren Anreizsystemen, Marktzyklen und makroökonomischen Zusammenhängen. Regulierung schließlich schafft als dritter Pfeiler den Rahmen, in dem Chancen realistisch bewertet und Risiken kontrolliert werden können.

Der Krypto-Führer verbindet wirtschaftliche Einordnung mit praktischer Orientierung. Sie lernen, Kryptowährungen als eigenständige Anlageklasse zu verstehen, Risiken souverän einzuordnen und fundierte Entscheidungen zu treffen - jenseits von Hype, Angst und kurzfristigen Trends.
