 http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=244554 Energy In The 21st Century
Energy may be the most important factor that will influence
the shape of society in the 21st century. The cost and
availability of energy significantly impacts our quality of life,
the health of national economies, the relationships between
nations, and the stability of our environment. What kind of
energy do we want to use in our future? Will there be
enough? What will the consequences of our decisions be?
Every one of us has a stake in the answers to these
questions and the decisions that are being made to provide energy.
The choices we make today will effect generations to come. What kind
of future do we want to prepare for them? We can make the best
decisions by being aware of our options and the consequences of our
choices. This informative book examines how society can make the
transition from a reliance on fossil fuels to energy independence. The
reader is exposed to a broad range of energy types and will develop an
appreciation of the role that each energy type may play in the future.
Energy in the 21st Century was written to give the concerned citizen
enough information about energy to make informed decisions and
contribute to the debate. $67.60 USD

 The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy.
Learn about world trade from a t-shirt in this fascinating,
around-the-world tale of a simple product in a highly
competitive global marketplace. Over a five-year period,
business professor Pietra Rivoli traveled from a Texas cotton
field to a Chinese factory, and from trade negotiations in
Washington to a used clothing market in Africa, to investigate
compelling questions about the politics, economics, ethics,
and the history of today's international business landscape.
Looking closely at the lives of colorful characters from around
the world, Rivoli uses her t-shirt to illustrate crucial lessons
in the globalization debate and to demonstrate the impact of markets and
politics on both rich and poor countries. A clear-eyed examination of the
workings of the global economy, as well as an engaging story, this important
narrative reveals surprising secrets of success in world markets -- and its
impact on individuals and communities around the world. $29.95 USD/s
 


 http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=284619 Climate Change and Human Health
 Over the ages, human societies have altered local
ecosystems and modified regional climates. Today, the
human influence has attained a global scale. This reflects
the recent rapid increase in population size, energy
consumption, intensity of land use, international trade and
travel, and other human activities. These global changes
have heightened awareness that the long-term good health
of populations depends on the continued stability and
functioning of the biosphere's ecological, physical, and
socioeconomic systems. The world's climate system is an integral part of the
complex of life-supporting processes. Climate and weather have always
had a powerful impact on human health and well-being. But like other large
natural systems, the global climate system is coming under pressure from
human activities. Global climate change is, therefore, a newer challenge to
ongoing efforts to protect human health. This volume seeks to describe the
context and process of global climate change, its actual or likely impacts on
health, and how human societies and their governments should respond, with
particular focus on the health sector. $18.00 USD


http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=325761 Climate Change
In recent years climate change has become recognized as
the foremost environmental problem of the twenty-first
century. Not only will climate change potentially affect the
multibillion dollar energy strategies of countries worldwide,
but it also could seriously affect many species, including our
own. A fascinating introduction to the subject, this textbook
provides a broad review of past, present and likely future
climate change from the viewpoints of biology, ecology and
human ecology. It will be of interest to a wide range of
people, from students in the life sciences who need a brief overview of the
basics of climate science, to atmospheric science, geography, and
environmental science students who need to understand the biological and
human ecological implications of climate change. It will also be a valuable
reference for those involved in environmental monitoring, conservation,
policy-making and policy lobbying. $42.00 USD


http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=339188 Climate Change Begins at Home
 Climate change is one of the greatest threats that
humankind faces in the 21st century. The next hundred
years could see coastlines and islands submerged, and a
surge in heat waves, hurricanes, droughts, floods and
therefore in pests, disease, famine and displacement.
This book argues that while government and industry dither,
we could all cut our personal greenhouse gas emissions by
60 per cent - the level necessary to halt the current trend
according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
After summarizing today's state of affairs, scientifically and politically,
climatologist Dave Reay explores the climate impact of housing, gardening,
food, money, work, transport, death even. Packed with provocative case
studies, calculations, and lifestyle comparisons, this entertaining and
authoritative book makes the complexities of climatology understandable
and challenges readers to rethink their notions of 'doing their bit'.
$24.00 USD 



http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=274673 Driving Climate Change
 Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing
global society. The debate over what to do is confounded
by the uncertain relationship between increasing
greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and the
impact of those changes on nature and human civilization.
This book will provide professionals and students alike
with the latest information regarding greenhouse emissions
while presenting the most up-to-date techniques for
reducing these emissions. It will investigate three broad
strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions: 1) reducing motorized
travel, 2) shifting to less energy intensive modes, and 3) changing fuel and
propulsion technologies. Findings will be presented by the leaders in the
field with contributions from professors, researchers, consultants and
engineers at the most prominent institutions - commercial, academic and
federal - dealing with environmental research and policy. $51.95 USD



http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=269896 Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate
Change.
 Sustainable or survivable design involves the systems
approach to design and construction for facilities,
systems, and equipment that insures consideration of the
optimization of ecological and human issues in light of
well-grounded acceptable economic constraints. For
architecture, this means design that delivers buildings
and communities with lower environmental impacts while
enhancing health, productivity, community, and quality
of life. Sustainability is not limited to impacts on the
natural environment, but on people and the community. Sustainable
design is continuing to grow in the United States. Recent statistics
show that approximately 3 percent of all new construction in the U.S.
is pursuing certification through the green building rating system from
the US Green Building Council and many more buildings are greatly
influenced by the rating system. This book was written by Sue Roaf
author of the highly successful book EcoHouse. $52.95 USD
http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=270072 Architecture in a Climate of Change 
Sustainable design involves the systems approach to
design and construction for facilities, systems, and
equipment that insures consideration of the optimization
of ecological and human issues. For architecture, this
means "green design" or design that delivers buildings
and communities with lower environmental impacts
while enhancing health, productivity, community, and
quality of life. Sustainable and green design is continuing
to grow in the United States. Recent statistics show
that approximately 3 percent of all new construction in the U.S. is
pursuing certification through the green building rating system from the
US Green Building Council and many more buildings are greatly influenced
by the rating system. The USGBC and many state and city governments
are offering grants to "green" building projects. Revised to incorporate
and reflect changes and advances since it was first published. $33.95 USD
