A Financial Times BEST BOOKS OF 2021 'Engaging, authoritative and very timely. Marco Alverà spells Hydrogen's critical role as an energy store in the clean power transition' - Mike Berners-Lee, author of THERE IS NO PLANET B Picture this: It's 2050. The looming shadow of climate change is finally receding. The planet's temperature is stabilising. Rainforests and coral reefs beginning to thrive once more. We are returning to equilibrium with nature. This isn't wishful thinking; it can be our reality. We just need to embrace hydrogen: the missing link. The beauty of hydrogen is its simplicity. It's simple to make, and simple to use. You are essentially bottling sunlight from renewable energy ...
Venice. On a full-moon night, the members of a secret society gather in an ancient palace. Bepi Galvano, luminary of physics, is about to celebrate his eightieth birthday just a few streets away. His neighbors, three brilliant kids, are throwing a big party in his honor. That very night, however, the professor goes missing in circumstances which have yet to be clarified. Perhaps, that mysterious league, the Lunar Society, is the key for the enigma of his disappearance... In a maze-like Venice, three young kids are about to launch into a race against the time. The future of humanity could be hidden in the professor's latest invention, an incredible machine capable of producing green energy from water. It's up to Bepi's kids, now, to follow in his footsteps, and prevent eternal darkness from descending on the world we know.

This is not another alternative energy study. Rather, The Prologue identifies and charts the security-related trajectory of a relatively new global phenomenon: the ascent of alternative energy as a 21st century megatrend. Why and how have contemporary alternative energy developments evolved into a 21st century global socio-political and techno-economic megatrend? What are the security implications of this megatrend? And what does the megatrend’s evolution reveal about upcoming geopolitical, energy, defense, environmental, and economic security challenges? This book endeavors to answer these questions by establishing the conceptual framework of a universally securitized world in which mutua...

REIMAGINING A CLEANER, GREENER, CARBON-FREE WORLD! The current global energy use, with its overwhelming dependence on fossil fuels, has taken global warming to dangerous levels. Climate change is already hitting us hard, through adverse effects on global food availability, biodiversity, rising sea levels and extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and floods. In the last decade, a major transformation-the transition to clean, affordable and sustainable energy from the sun and the wind-is beginning to address these challenges. Fossil Free provides a concise introduction to the challenges, realities and complexities of the global and local energy industry, as well as the trends and forces d...
Legitimate Leadership, written by Wendy Lambourne, essentially looks at what every employer strives for but often gives up on: attaining the willingness of employees at work. Lambourne is a partner at Schuitema Human Excellence Group, which works extensively among South African blue-chip companies and throughout the world. It has major clients in the UK, USA and Asia. The conclusion of the book is somewhat surprising: employees' willingness at work is not a direct "deliverable" of, for instance, improving work conditions or remuneration. Rather it is a byproduct of the personal relationship which those in command positions at work have with those who report to them. Specifically, willingness...
