Taming the Sun
How solar could spark a clean-energy transition through transformative innovation—creative financing, revolutionary technologies, and flexible energy systems. Solar energy, once a niche application for a limited market, has become the cheapest and fastest-growing power source on earth. What's more, its potential is nearly limitless—every hour the sun beams down more energy than the world uses in a year. But in Taming the Sun, energy expert Varun Sivaram warns that the world is not yet equipped to harness erratic sunshine to meet most of its energy needs. And if solar's current surge peters out, prospects for replacing fossil fuels and averting catastrophic climate change will dim. Innova...
Lunar Settlements
Bringing together some of the most recognized and influential researchers and scientists in various space-related disciplines, Lunar Settlements addresses the many issues that surround the permanent human return to the Moon. Numerous international contributors offer their insights into how certain technological, physiological, and psychological challenges must be met to make permanent lunar settlements possible. The book first looks to the past, covering the Apollo and Saturn legacies. In addition, former astronaut and U.S. Senator Harrison H. Schmitt discusses how to maintain deep space exploration and settlement. The book then discusses economic aspects, such as funding for lunar commerce,...
Moon
The Earth has limited material and energy resources. Further development of the humanity will require going beyond our planet for mining and use of extraterrestrial mineral resources and search of power sources. The exploitation of the natural resources of the Moon is a first natural step on this direction. Lunar materials may contribute to the betterment of conditions of people on Earth but they also may be used to establish permanent settlements on the Moon. This will allow developing new technologies, systems and flight operation techniques to continue space exploration. In fact, a new branch of human civilization could be established permanently on Moon in the next century. But, meantime...
Learning from Fukushima
Learning from Fukushima began as a project to respond in a helpful way to the March 2011 triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown) in north-eastern Japan. It evolved into a collaborative and comprehensive investigation of whether nuclear power was a realistic energy option for East Asia, especially for the 10 member-countries of ASEAN, none of which currently has an operational nuclear power plant. We address all the questions that a country must ask in considering the possibility of nuclear power, including cost of construction, staffing, regulation and liability, decommissioning, disposal of nuclear waste, and the impact on climate change. The authors are physicists, engineers, biologists, a public health physician, and international relations specialists. Each author presents the results of their work.
ZU HASS ERZOGEN - rebelliert - IN LIEBE AUFGENOMMEN
Ein Jugendlicher flieht vor seinem rechtsradikalen Eltern. Nach einer Odyssee landet er im Elsass, bei einer herzensguten Frau, die, nachdem sie seine Geschichte hörte, sich des Jungen annahm und ihn zu einem erfolgreichen Schüler erzog und es dabei an Liebe nicht fehlen ließ. Sie schützte ihn und besorgte ihm neue fast legale Ausweispapiere. Eines Tages machte er sich in Absprache mit seiner Oma auf um sein Onkel in Deutschlandsberg in der Südsteiermark zu besuchen. Als sein verhaßter Vater dort auftauchte, unternahm er alles um dessen illegalen Machenschaften zu durchkreuzen. Außerdem lernte er seine erste Liebe kennen.
Toulouse Therapie
Anna Kur leidet seit ihrer Kindheit unter unerklärlichen Ohnmachtsanfällen. Stunden, sogar ganze Tage verschwinden im Blackout. Doch unter Hypnose entdeckt ihr Arzt etwas Schreckliches. Im französischen Toulouse führt sie ihr eigenes Architekturbüro. Eines Tages erhält sie ein mysteriöses Angebot aus der Schweiz. Ausgerechnet für die Firma, bei deren Staumauer-Einsturz vor zehn Jahren ihr Vater ums Leben kam, soll Anna Kur eine neue Staumauer entwerfen. Noch ahnt sie nicht, in welche Gefahr sie sich damit begibt. Zehn Jahre nach dem verheerenden Staudammunglück gibt es neue Erkenntnisse, die die Schweizer Polizei vor ein Rätsel stellen. Kriminalkommissar Alexandre Dupont wird nach Frankreich geschickt, um die Suissewall-Außenstelle in Toulouse genauer zu inspizieren und die wahren Hintergründe des Staudammbruchs im Schweizer Hérémence-Tal aufzudecken. Plötzlich steht Anna Kur im Zentrum der Ermittlungen und damit nimmt die Katastrophe ihren Lauf.
