Emerging Technologies and Materials in Thermal Engineering

Plate Heat Exchanger Enhancement Techniques: in Support of the Energy Transition and a Circular Economy provides fundamental knowledge on the applications of the plate heat exchanger (PHE) and how it can be optimized to make energy conversion more efficient. In addition, it introduces relevant studies that explain the heat transfer mechanism of the PHE, its design, and how developing more compact and evolved heat exchangers contributes to a sustainable, cleaner, and more energy-efficient future. Researchers, scientists, engineers, professionals, and students working in nanotechnology, materials science, and sustainability will find this volume valuable to their work.

Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought

Political and Cultural Conflict Today addresses the fierce animosity splitting factions in Western democracies, with a primary focus on the USA. The author demonstrates that today's societal divisions stem from a collision between the two divergent forms of Modernity that emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries-here called Modernity 1 and Modernity 2.Modernity shattered the God- (or gods-)infused hierarchies that once ordered society, liberating individuals to become responsible for themselves. Modernity 1 expresses this liberation through freedom and individual rights grounded in reason and evidence, mandating collaboration in a world requiring empirical justification. This gave rise to the group structures of democracy and science. However, the very freedom gained through Modernity's destruction of traditional hierarchies also enabled individual beliefs untethered from objective reality; thus Modernity 2 was born. The author argues that the clash between these streams manifests today in the rejection of scientific authority, the resurgence of populist movements, and the deepening cultural divide between elites and populists.Fleming's clearly written, cross-disciplinary analysis aims at defusing the conflict by demonstrating that both sides are parts of Modernity, shaped by the same historical circumstances. It represents a major contribution to sociology, social theory, political science, philosophy, cultural studies, and history, whilst also resonating with general readers seeking to understand contemporary polarization and the tensions intrinsic to modern life.

The Illusion of Choice

Mission Lead Olivia O'Connor and her team from the Artemis Corporation, along with their military liaison, are in the final preparations for an undertaking that will alter the course of human history: a test flight that promises to open up new frontiers in the expanse of the universe. But their journey between dimensions is one they never trained for. Strange voices in the corridors. Long lost faces not forgotten. Strange symbols carved into the hull. And gathering outside the ship, ancient forces beyond reckoning. The crew will need all their skills to survive and uncover the twisted truth behind their mission. Commencing countdown...

Anthem Environment and Sustainability Initiative

This textbook is designed to introduce the reader to important and emerging issues in contemporary environmental law, policy, economics, and science. It explains the roles and interactions of Congress, federal agencies, state governments, and the courts in protecting the environment and public health from pollution. Topics include common law; administrative law; the role of environmental impact assessments and endangered species protection; and the principal legislation and court decisions dealing with greenhouse gas emissions, conventional and toxic air pollution, water pollution, the control of toxic chemicals and hazardous waste, pollution prevention and primary accident prevention, and community right-to-know. The text also explores various alternatives to regulation and concludes with a brief treatise on sustainability. 
The evolving role of science and economics in legislative, regulatory, and judicial decision making is explored. The text analyzes pollution as an economic problem and a failure of markets, discusses the role of technological innovation and the concept of "dynamic" economic equilibrium, and evaluates economic incentives as an alternative or supplement to regulation. The book also provides an introduction to basic legal skills: how to read and understand judicial opinions, regulations, and statutes; how to discover the current state of the law in a specific area; and how to take action toward resolution of environmental problems. Throughout, the role of national and local politics in shaping and implementing environmental policy is acknowledged and evaluated.

The Choice Factory

One of the world’s greatest bassists lays down the heart of Black music, revealing how its rhythmic structures and the long history of the African diaspora made it the world’s most popular form.&nbsp; &nbsp; “A&nbsp;revelatory new book.”—New York Times Why do Bob Marley, John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, and Nina Simone move us the way they do? What drives the worried notes of the Delta blues? What makes Beyoncé’s triumph Cowboy Carter inescapably great? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As Melvin Gibbs shows in How Black Music Took Over the World, it is the musical inheritance of Africa. Beginning with two rhythmic building blocks he calls the cell and the frame, Gibbs shows how those tools can transport listeners to “a realm where sounds become vehicles for human movement.” Reforged in the African diaspora in the Americas, they are played today on church organs, electric guitars, computers, telephones, or a simple gourd. Kool &amp; the Gang called Black musicians the “scientists of sound”—and Gibbs shows how they discovered the world’s music. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Gibbs’s vantage is unique. A world-class musician fluent in many genres, Gibbs is as comfortable in an old-school Times Square record shop as he is breaking down mathematics and music theory with university professors. Imbued with his own journey and a sharp eye for the sins and triumphs of history, How Black Music Took Over the World is an unforgettable revelation of one of humanity’s greatest achievements. &nbsp; &nbsp;

How Black Music Took Over the World

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

A Murder & Magic Novel

Indiana Jones meets Hidden Figures in this brand-new stand-alone historical fantasy set in the world of The Conductors, in which the space race of the mid-20th century will be determined by magic...if not murder.In the 1960s, the world was caught up in reaching beyond our planet and into the cosmos. It felt impossible—but there was nothing science, math…and magic couldn’t make possible. The race to space was on, and the Moon was what everyone had their eyes on.Including Cynthia Rhodes, a brilliant arcane engineer at NASA’s Ainsworth Research Labs. Talented in math and magic, she hosts a magical educational show... a job she took mostly for a chance to regularly see the dashing Theodore Danner, a professor of arcane archeology.She is also an amateur sleuth—something that has run in her family for generations. When a cursed museum curator nearly interrupts a broadcast of their show, Cynthia finds an eager sleuthing partner in Theo. Pairing up, they begin investigating the strange behavior of the curator and a mysterious theft at the arcane history museum—until one of Cynthia’s own coworkers perishes right in front of her in a major lab accident that endangers Ainsworth’s role in the space race. Certain it was murder instead of an accident, Cynthia sees this as a separate case at first. However the more she and Theo investigate, Cynthia uncovers a surprising link between the two incidents. The museum theft and murder are part of a larger equation—one that includes deadly enchantments, rumored pirate treasure, a peculiar plant, and a dire threat to the space program as well as everything she holds dear.The Starseekers is another rip-roaring adventure for the Rhodes family, who have been using magic to aid their community and solve mysteries since before the Civil War. The times may have changed, but a Rhodes once again finds themselves thrust into a world of murders, theft, sabotage, and curses, and this time the stakes extend to the stars themselves.&nbsp;

Archiv für Rechts- und Sozialphilosophie (ARSP). Beiheft

What does it mean for East to meet West in legal and political philosophy? This question is explored against the backdrop of a world where East and Southeast Asian societies challenge the boundaries of traditional liberal democracy. Daniel Bell promotes symbolic monarchy, which supposedly fosters social unity, stability, and ethical leadership without authoritarianism, proposing it as a model for China. Hirohide Takikawa discusses legitimacy in democratic and authoritarian regimes, arguing that non-democratic systems can have authority if they secure equal freedom. Beyond the two focal contributions, the volume brings together a range of perspectives on pressing themes including frontiers of legal theory, the role and reality of judges, the interface between law and science, cosmopolitanism and culture, and sexuality.By engaging both historical legacies and contemporary challenges, the essays collectively shed new light on how legal and political ideals are shaped, contested, and reimagined across cultures. This collection is an invitation to scholars and students interested in understanding a world where "East Meets West" is no longer a cliché but a call for renewed dialogue.
