Energy and Civilization
Author: Vaclav Smil
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262536161
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
A comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society throughout history, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. "I wait for new Smil books the way some people wait for the next 'Star Wars' movie. In his latest book, Energy and Civilization: A History, he goes deep and broad to explain how innovations in humans' ability to turn energy into heat, light, and motion have been a driving force behind our cultural and economic progress over the past 10,000 years. —Bill Gates, Gates Notes, Best Books of the Year Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows—ranging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity—for their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts—from the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering readers a magisterial overview. This book is an extensively updated and expanded version of Smil's Energy in World History (1994). Smil has incorporated an enormous amount of new material, reflecting the dramatic developments in energy studies over the last two decades and his own research over that time.

Living Simply Abundant
Author: R.Frank Robinson
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1452522278
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Living Simply Abundant takes the reader on a journey to reconcile two divergent philosophies. Belief in abundance consciousness gives us the ability to see ourselves as co-creators in an infinite and malleable universe. Meanwhile, we live on a beautiful gem of a planet called Earth that is seemingly finite and suffering under the weight of enormous human impacts. With science, history, and personal stories, the author explores the abundant qualities of Earth and the cosmos, as well as the microscopic scale of quantum physics. In contrast to that abundance is the history of civilization that has devastated the Earth and polluted the human spirit with fear, war and aggression. Therein rests the question: Is the universe finite and subject to our abuse? Or is it infinitely abundant? Living Simply Abundant shows the reader the true abundance of the universe and how we, as conscious beings, can interact with the Universal energy field and co-create the world that we want.

My Beliefs, Thoughts and Conclusions

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
A skeptic's logical explanations of empirical data on existence, god, morality and other interconnective ideas. Ever since my college philosophy days, I have always dubbed my approach as 'skeptistic thinking.' This is my comprehensive summation and overview of my philosophical, metaphysical, existential and theological journey over the last 40+ years. This short book is designed to create discussions by looking at the existence of reality, the nature of (G)god and our moral obligations within this world. It is a logical approach that seeks to explain those things through empirical observations, logical deductions and basic reasoning skills. It is designed to be understandable from both an entry level into a philosophical and theological discussions as well as still being detailed enough that seasoned readers will be able to create there own new discussions. I do not claim any divine knowledge or hidden secrets to life. I use logic and reason to look at as many areas of study as possible to find common threads in of truth that transcends nature, religious practices and societal norms. It is through a systematic overview of all studies simultaneously that we are able to logically deduce the fundamental principles of reality, our existence within it, (G)god and our moral obligations. The purpose of this book is to create discussions and thoughts on topics. It may be a starting point for some, or a point of interest for others already walking their own journey. In either case, I hope it gives you something to think about and explore in your own thoughts and discussions.

The Universe in a Nutshell

Book Description
Stephen Hawking s A Brief History of Time was a publishing phenomenon. Translated into thirty languages, it has sold over nine million copies worldwide. It continues to captivate and inspire new readers every year. When it was first published in 1988 the ideas discussed in it were at the cutting edge of what was then known about the universe. In the intervening years there have been extraordinary advances in our understanding of the space and time. The technology for observing the micro- and macro-cosmic world has developed in leaps and bounds. During the same period cosmology and the theoretical sciences have entered a new golden age. Professor Stephen Hawking has been at the heart of this new scientific renaissance. Now, in The Universe in a Nutshell, Stephen Hawking brings us fully up-to-date with the advances in scientific thinking. We are now nearer than we have ever been to a full understanding of the universe. In a fascinating and accessible discussion that ranges from quantum mechanics, to time travel, black holes to uncertainty theory, to the search for science s Holy Grail the unified field theory (or in layman s terms the theory of absolutely everything ) Professor Hawking once more takes us to the cutting edge of modern thinking. Beautifully illustrated throughout, with original artwork commissioned for this project, The Universe in a Nutshell is guaranteed to be the biggest science book of 2001.
