More energy from the sun strikes Earth in an hour than is consumed by humans in an entire year. Efficiently harnessing solar power for sustainable generation of hydrogen requires low-cost, purpose-built, functional materials combined with inexpensive large-scale manufacturing methods. These issues are comprehensively addressed in On Solar Hydrogen & Nanotechnology – an authoritative, interdisciplinary source of fundamental and applied knowledge in all areas related to solar hydrogen. Written by leading experts, the book emphasizes state-of-the-art materials and characterization techniques as well as the impact of nanotechnology on this cutting edge field. Addresses the current status and p...
Voices of American is a book about women, family values, and making a life in rural America in the first half of this century. It distills some 200 oral histories collected from 37 states organized around the essential rites and functions of life: growing up, education, courtship, marriage, child rearing, the homemaker and her work, the organizations that supported her, and her sense of self.

With the war far from over, Roy and Abigail have been living in both worlds. By day they live a normal life in the Appalachian Mountains, while they return for missions in the other world. It seems like a perfect hideout. But when the war enters the sleepy town of Greenville, Vermont; Roy and Abigail are forced to lead their team in a desperate to fight to stop the Alliance from taking over both worlds. Cryptic messages, new allies, strange sactalines, and the feeling that they were put here for this moment hang in the balance. As they try to juggle the war in both worlds it becomes clear they may not be able to live in both worlds much longer.
Plant Cold Hardiness and Freezing Stress: Mechanisms and Crop Implications, Volume 2 contains the proceedings of an International Seminar on Plant Cold Hardiness, held at the Sapporo Educational and Cultural Hall, Sapporo, Japan on August 11-14, 1981. Organized into five parts, this book aims to update the fundamental phenomena of plant cold acclimation and freezing behavior, to examine the hypotheses and ideas important to plant cold hardiness research, and to review the application of research findings for improving the quality of life. This volume particularly addresses the cold acclimation, freezing, and other temperature-related stresses in plants. Strategies for improving freezing survival are also presented. This volume will make an additional, significant contribution to researchers involved in understanding and planning research strategies for plant cold hardiness and for attenuating crop losses by frosts and severe winters.
