Book Description
• New York Times bestseller • The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world “At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming “There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” —David Roberts, Vox “This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.” —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

Project 333
Author: Courtney Carver
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525541462
Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Wear just 33 items for 3 months and get back all the JOY you were missing while you were worrying what to wear. In Project 333, minimalist expert and author of Soulful Simplicity Courtney Carver takes a new approach to living simply--starting with your wardrobe. Project 333 promises that not only can you survive with just 33 items in your closet for 3 months, but you'll thrive just like the thousands of woman who have taken on the challenge and never looked back. Let the de-cluttering begin! Ever ask yourself how many of the items in your closet you actually wear? In search of a way to pare down on her expensive shopping habit, consistent lack of satisfaction with her purchases, and ever-growing closet, Carver created Project 333. In this book, she guides readers through their closets item-by-item, sifting through all the emotional baggage associated with those oh-so strappy high-heel sandals that cost a fortune but destroy your feet every time you walk more than a few steps to that extensive collection of never-worn little black dresses, to locate the items that actually look and feel like you. As Carver reveals in this book, once we finally release ourselves from the cyclical nature of consumerism and focus less on our shoes and more on our self-care, we not only look great we feel great-- and we can see a clear path to make other important changes in our lives that reach far beyond our closets. With tips, solutions, and a closet-full of inspiration, this life-changing minimalist manual shows readers that we are so much more than what we wear, and that who we are and what we have is so much more than enough.

Wirtschaftsenglisch-Wörterbuch
Author: Theodor Van Bernem
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3486806300
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Die Dynamik der ökonomischen Entwicklung spiegelt sich in der ständigen Weiterentwicklung und Verfeinerung der Wirtschaftssprache wieder. Ebenso wie moderne, zukunftsorientierte Unternehmen nur noch in weltwirtschaftlichen Maßstäben planen und handeln, findet der wirtschaftswissenschaftliche und praktische Austausch zu einem immer größer werdenden Teil in internationalen Zusammenhänge statt. Der Leser wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Fachliteratur stellt bald fest, daß die ständige zunehmende Fülle von Zeitschriften und Monographien zu einem bedeutenden Teil in englischer Sprache erscheint, die auch die Grundlage für einen "grenzlosen" fachwissenschaftlichen Diskurs darstellt. Der Einfluß der angloamerikanischen Forschung auf die Wirtschaftswissenschaften und die veröffentlichte Literatur ist dabei unübersehbar. Aus diesem Grunde ist das vorliegende Wörterbuch, das Studenten, Dozenten und Praktikern eine Hilfe für die Bewältigung der aktuellen Fachliteratur an die Hand gibt, speziell auf den amerikanischen Bereich zugeschnitten, wobei berücksichtigt wird, daß das Studium der Wirtschaftswissenschaften in zunehmenden Maße tätigkeitsfeldorientiert betrieben wird. Das Lexikon geht knapp aber gezielt auf wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Belange ein. In diesem Sinne ergänzt es bereits vorhandene Lexika, ohne sie zu ersetzen. Es ist das Ergebnis einer engen Kooperation zwischen Hochschullehrern, wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeitern und engagierten Studenten aus dem Integrierten Auslandsstudium.

The Mars Project
Author: Wernher Von Braun
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252062278
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This classic on space travel was first published in 1953, when interplanetary space flight was considered science fiction by most of those who considered it at all. Here the German-born scientist Wernher von Braun detailed what he believed were the problems and possibilities inherent in a projected expedition to Mars. Today von Braun is recognized as the person most responsible for laying the groundwork for public acceptance of America's space program. When President Bush directed NASA in 1989 to prepare plans for an orbiting space station, lunar research bases, and human exploration of Mars, he was largely echoing what von Braun proposed in The Mars Project.
