Sustainable Development and Innovation in the Energy Sector
Explores how these conflicting scenarios could be reconciled; how can we shape a more sustainable energy system from the existing one; and possible technological progress and innovations to enable a brighter future. Addresses the reality that there exists no consensus on the extent to which innovations can really contribute to reconciling ever-growing energy consumption, availability of resources and the environment, and the structural demands on any energy system. Offers and explains a four-point strategy: Energy should according to its importance regain a top priority in the political arena; higly targeted subsidies should be given for a limited amount of time to speed up the market introduction of energy-efficient and regenerative techniques in analogy to the ‚Dutch model‘; Negotiated agreements and unilateral self-commitments can subsequently ensure further market diffusion of sustainable energy innovations.; the basic research in energy should not be diminished but intensified instead

It then reviews a range of possible solutions. The book delves into key normative concepts that undergird American perspectives on nature by providing an overview of philosophical concepts found in the western intellectu...

The Mermaid and the River Otter: A Fable
What would bring a platypus, an iguana, and a flamboyant flock of flamingoes to The Tidal Realm's counselors for advice? Escape from your daily routine and travel to a coastal estuary where the semi-aquatic creatures of the world's supercontinent look to wise counselors, Corinna the mermaid and Tonino the river otter. Listen in as the counselors provide guidance concerning self-love, sharing, gossiping, compassion, and more. The lessons represented in this unusual story are age-old, yet still timely for every culture. Complete The Fable Triad with The Elephant and the Dragon and The Dolphin and the Octopus. Though each of the fables are separate tales with separate characters, they embody the same global time frame and can be read in any order. They begin almost identically, much like Kipling's Just So Stories, in order to set the tone and rhythm as complementary to the other two. But—worry not! Each fable offers its own unique account without following the same pattern throughout.
Corinna, Or Italy

Corinn
Corinna smiled at her reflection in the creek. Lieutenant Guthrie had called her Corinn. The very recollection caused her to flush. She sharply informed Master Malone that he was not to use that name while referring to her, yet, somehow it was different when coming from the handsome lieutenant. She sighed and raised the stick in the air. She had no time to dawdle, for she had to practice using the sword. She was determined to be proficient in her fighting skills, even though her mother wanted her to be more ladylike.
