Energy Science
Can climate change be tackled with the current energy technologies and policies available? Are renewable energy sources now economically competitive with fossil fuels? How much power can be provided by all the various forms of low-carbon energy? Energy Science introduces the latest energy technologies, explains the physical principles underlying each technology, and discusses their environmental, economic, and social impacts. Covering fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear energy, this book provides you with tools to evaluate the key sources of energy available, and introduces potential solutions to the energy problems facing us today. New to this edition: Greater emphasis on the challenges and urgent actions required in the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources of energy, explanations of recent developments in solar PV, off-shore wind, deploying renewables, and battery technology, More international case studies looking at real-world energy issues and applications of energy technology, Increased focus on making the text engaging for a wide range of students, with flexible treatment of the more mathematical content Book jacket.

Renewable Energy
Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and much of the world's population does not have enough. Affordable and adequate sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial; and renewables provide the answer. Wind and solar farms can now provide the cheapest electricity in many parts of the world. Moreover, they could provide all of the world's energy needs. But while market forces are fast helping the transition from fossil fuels to renewables, there are opposing pressures, such as the USA's proposed withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, and the vested interests in fossil fuels. This Very Short Introduction describes the main renewable sources of energy- solar, ...

Marietta Blau, Stars of Disintegration
This book depicts the life of the Austrian physicist Marietta Blau (1894-1970). She was considered extraordinarily gifted by Albert Einstein and was nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Physics, twice by Erwin Schrödinger. On the other hand, no obituary was ever published on her. At the Institut für Radiumforschung in Vienna, the 'Radium Institute', Marietta Blau developed the photographic method of detecting nuclear particles, a method which played a prominent part in nuclear physics in the following decades. By means of this technique new fundamental particles, the pion and the K-meson, were discovered in the 1940s. The biographical part of the book which includes personal recoll...
