European Objects
How interventions based on objects—including chemicals, financial products, and consumer goods—offer a path to rethink European integration. Interventions based on objects, Brice Laurent claims, have become a dominant path for European policy-making. In European Objects, Laurent analyzes the political consequences of these interventions and their democratization. He uses the term “European objects” to describe technical entities that are regulated—and thereby transformed—by European policies. To uncover the bureaucratic and regulatory intricacies of European governance, Laurent focuses on a series of these objects, including food products, chemicals, financial products, consumer ...
Nuclear Power Is Not The Answer To Global Warming Or Anything Else
In this revealing examination of the costs and consequences of nuclear energy, world-renowned antinuclear spokesperson Helen Caldicott uncovers the facts that belie the nuclear industry propaganda: nuclear power contributes to global warming; the true cost of nuclear power is prohibitive, with taxpayers picking up most of the tab; there's simply not enough uranium in the world to sustain nuclear power over the long term; and the potential for a catastrophic accident or a terrorist attack far outweighs any benefits. Trained as a physician and thoroughly versed in the science of nuclear energy, the bestselling author of Nuclear Madness and Missile Envy here turns her attention from nuclear bombs to nuclear lightbulbs. As she makes meticulously clear in this essential book, the world cannot withstand either.
Legacies of Fukushima
"This book is about the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan. The disaster comprised a triple punch that began with an earthquake, which caused a tsunami, which triggered a meltdown at a nuclear plant"--
Disposal of All Forms of Radioactive Waste and Residues
This book describes repository solutions for all types of radioactive waste and residues in different geotechnical repository structures. The focus is initially on existing or planned final disposal sites in Germany and the process of finding sites. However, international comparisons are drawn, especially to locations in the US. This affects both the repository structures and the legal requirements. The radioactive substances considered include residues from uranium ore processing, as well as low and intermediate level radioactive waste up to heat generating, high level radioactive wastes, such as spent fuel and vitrified waste from reprocessing. In order to evaluate the repository structure...

A jachtparti
Ami a fedélzeten történik, a fedélzeten is marad Lara Stone újságírót porig sújtotta a hír, hogy barátnőjét, Sandrine-t holtan találták. Lara nem hiszi, hogy baleset volt. A jelek szerint Sandrine halála összefügg Jonathon Meyer meggyilkolásával. Utóbbi titokzatos befektető, akit onnan lehet ismerni, hogy Monte Carlo-i jachtján, a Pandorán fényűző partikat rendezett, amelyeken mindenki ott volt, aki számít. Milyen titkokat rejt Meyer jachtja? Milyen alkukat kötöttek a fedélzeten, amelyekért ölni is érdemes lehetett? Larának vajon sikerül kiderítenie az igazságot, mielőtt belőle is csak egy vendég lesz a partin, aki egyesek terhére van? „Senki más nem mixel ilyen páratlan koktélt, mint Tasmina Perry: egy rész intrika, egy rész szenvedély, egy rész glamúr.” - Hello Magazine
Durch das Meer
Eine wichtige Frage der Gegenwart ist, wie man heute heilige Texte im säkularen und theologischen Kontext für beiden Positionen verantwortbar lesen kann, und so dialogfähig bleibt. In diesem Buch wird die These vertreten, dass die derzeit randständige Form kontextueller Exegese in den Literatur- wie Bibelwissenschaften den Schlüssel zu einer pluralitätsfähigen und zugleich dem eigenen Anspruch konformen Hermeneutik bilden kann. Diese Hermeneutik wird systematisch im Dialog mit post-strukturalistischen Ansätzen entfaltet, ebenso die Intertextualität als ein wichtiges Konzept in ein eigenes Modell gegossen. Den zweiten Hauptteil bildet die Erprobung des kontextuellen Modells an einem ...
The Doomsday Machine
Today, there are over one hundred nuclear reactors operating in our backyards, from Indian Point in New York to Diablo Canyon in California. Proponents claim that nuclear power is the only viable alternative to fossil fuels, and due to rising energy consumption and the looming threat of global warming, they are pushing for an even greater investment. Here, energy economist Andrew McKillop and social scientist Martin Cohen argue that the nuclear power dream being sold to us is pure fantasy. Debunking the multilayered myth that nuclear energy is cheap, clean, and safe, they demonstrate how landscapes are ravaged in search of the elusive yellowcake to fuel the reactors, and how energy companies and politicians rarely discuss the true costs of nuclear power plants - from the subsidies that build the infrastructure to the unspoken guarantee that the public will pick up the cleanup cost in the event of a meltdown, which can easily top $100 billion dollars.
Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer
The world-renowned antinuclear activist's expertly argued(The Guardian) case against nuclear energy. In a world torn apart by wars over oil, politicians have increasingly begun to look for alternative energy sources and their leading choice is nuclear energy. Among the myths that have been spread over the years about nuclear-powered electricity are that it does not cause global warming or pollution, that it is inexpensive, and that it is safe. Helen Caldicott's look at the actual costs and environmental consequences of nuclear energy belies the incessant barrage of nuclear industry propaganda. Caldicott reveals truths, Martin Sheen has said, that confirm we must take positive action now if we are to make a difference. In fact, nuclear power contributes to global warming; the true cost of nuclear power is prohibitive, with taxpayers picking up most of the tab; there's simply not enough uranium in the world to sustain nuclear power over the long term; and the potential for a catastrophic accident or a terrorist attack far outweighs any benefits. Concluding chapters detail alternative sustainable energy sources that are the key to a clean, green future.
