Powering the Dream
Author: Alexis Madrigal
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0306819775
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Few today realize that electric cabs dominated Manhattan's streets in the 1890s; that Boise, Idaho, had a geothermal heating system in 1910; or that the first megawatt turbine in the world was built in 1941 by the son of publishing magnate G. P. Putnam -- a feat that would not be duplicated for another forty years. Likewise, while many remember the oil embargo of the 1970s, few are aware that it led to a corresponding explosion in green-technology research that was only derailed when energy prices later dropped. In other words: We've been here before. Although we may have failed, America has had the chance to put our world on a more sustainable path. Americans have, in fact, been inventing green for more than a century. Half compendium of lost opportunities, half hopeful look toward the future, Powering the Dream tells the stories of the brilliant, often irascible inventors who foresaw our current problems, tried to invent cheap and energy renewable solutions, and drew the blueprint for a green future.

Joey Green's Cleaning Magic
Author: Joey Green
Publisher: Rodale Books
ISBN: 1605291013
Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
From the guru of discovering extraordinary uses for brand-name products come brand-new ways to make cleaning, organizing, and decluttering quick, easy, and a lot more fun The public is endlessly fascinated by quirky and offbeat uses for their favorite products and, this time around, Joey Green tackles household chores with his pantry full of cleaning power. Green's easy and effortless tips and tricks show how to scrub, deodorize, shine, and remove stains with products already in the house. While Green's suggestions may sound implausible, they are, in fact, highly effective. Most products on the market today are a complex mix of lubricants, abrasives, and cleansers, giving these brand-name products plenty of power to clean, dissolve, and fix in the most unexpected ways. Joey Green's Cleaning Magic offers clever ways to make household items do double duty, like using a slice of Wonder Bread to clean up tiny shards of glass from a kitchen floor—just pat it flat against the floor and toss it away—and wiping away the gunk from the bottom of an iron with Purell. This practical, useful, funny, and entertaining volume includes thousands of incredibly simple ways to clean up every room (and dusty corner) in the house.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
*Endless Pressure, Endlessly Applied* highlights and documents Brock Evans' 50-year career as a leader in the environmental movement. These nearly 500 pages form a unique 80-year autobiographical collage pieced together from three main sources: A Forest of Stories: Brock's unknown and unpublished personal writing from boyhood diaries, letters, journals, stories from Ohio to Princeton to Bombay, from the Marines to Michigan Law School, from Ann Arbor to Montana. Later personal writing include his poem "Elegy," Israel diaries, "Seventeenth Summer," Cancer-Time diaries, and "Music to Play at my Funeral." Most texts were transcribed and quoted verbatim or excerpted. A Mountain of Documents: These were selected from thousands of Brock's extensive professional published environmental writing, including testimony, speeches, letters, articles, memoranda, histories, essays, complete chapters. Most texts were scanned and/or excerpted. Chapters tell of winning or influencing battle after battle: North Cascades, Alpine Lakes, Horseshoe Basin, French Pete, Hells Canyon, John Day River, Sparta Mountain, Congaree. A River of Photos: These 124 photographs-both color and black-white, both published and unpublished, personal and professional-introduce, enrich, and vary the multiple texts. Scanned and featured at the opening of all fifty chapters, they include Evans family photos, landscapes, arrests, mentors, marches, nurses, friends, mountains, wives and lovers, shots from the freighter Capto, and professional photos: Hells Canyon, Boundary Waters Wilderness, Alaska.In *Endless Pressure, Endlessly Applied*, these sources come together to create a new whole-a rich and complex place to understand and appreciate Brock Evans' life and work. An attorney by profession and a writer by instinct, he has previously published two books: *Alpine Lakes* (1971) and the award-winning *Fight and Win* (2015).
