Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This textbook explores the science and tecnologies needed for renewable energy. It examines the properties of the earth's atmosphere for transmitting light in from the sun and mediating outflow of infrared energy from the ground, a role that has an effect on the temperature of the earth. It begins by explaining how the sun works, that is by nuclear fusion, and the basic concepts of quantum tunnelling needed are later expanded to allow a competent treatment ofsemiconductor physics, the discipline behind solar cells. The book covers wind turbine technology, hydroelectric power and pumped-hydro energy storage. It also talks about the history of the Earth's climateand discusses the effects that the present fossil fuel burning, leading to large emission of greenhouse gas, may have on the future temperature of the earth.The sustainable energy discussed in this book will be available in the long term, past the remaining availability of carbon energy, and is also energy that will not tip the climate into warmer conditions. In connection to this, the action of the atmosphere is analyzed both for its transmission of sunlight to thesurface for use in solar power, and in secondary forms such as wind, waves and hydroelectricity. Greenhouse gas impurities, such as carbon dioxide, are also examined for their effects on the atmosphere.Building on this analysis, prospects for sustainable energy and moderate climate are assessed. Upper level textbook on the science and technologies needed for renewable energy. It looks at energy transmitted from the sun as radiation through the Earth's atmosphere. The book covers turbine technology, hydroelectric power and pumped-hydro energy storage. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Magazine. Condizione: Very Good +. 32pp. Newsprint [43cm x 27.5cm / 17" x 11"]. Eight bifolia (sheets folded vertically once to form thirty-two pages). Horizontal crease throughout, as issued (folded for distribution). Paper is lightly age-toned, especially around edges and folds. Occasional soft creasing or short tearing along edges in the margins, else, a nice and clean copy. With an article by Edward Abbey titled "Forward! To Ecodefense." Also with an advertisement for "Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching" (Edited by Dave Foreman. Forward by Ed Abbey." Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980, founded by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar, among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice. No compromise in the defense of Mother Earth!" (Dave Foreman, Editor). Rear cover half-page illustration by Brush Wolf, dated '83, is entitled "It's Not Just Defense, It's Revenge" and depicts a grizzly bear with one of its paws stuck in a metal trap. Cover story is entitled "Forest Service Logs Texas Wilderness." Lengthy "Earth First! Directory!" printed on page 12. The centerfold spread (pages 16-17) feature is entitled "Professionalism: A Discussion" which features written perspectives on the matter of professionalism amongst environmentalists from Dave Foreman, Kirk Cunningham, Randal O'Toole, Reed Noss, Ed Clark, Gerald Meral, Ron Huber, and Jim Dale Vickery. Edward Abbey's contribution on page 26 is "Forward! To Ecodefense" which is the foreword of the (then) forthcoming book "Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching" - this, therefore, may be the first appearance of that Abbey text. A full-page ad for said "Ecodefense" volume follows on page 27. Full-page ads for "The 1985 Earth First! Calendar" (page 29), "Earth First! Trinkets & Snake Oil" (page 30), and "T-shirts." (page 31). Other credited Earth First! staff for this issue include: Wildcat Annie (Subscription Manager), Nancy Morton (Merchandise & Mailing Manager), Marcy Willow (Associate Editor), Mike Roselle (Associate Editor), Leon Czolgosz (Associate Editor), Bill Devall (Contributing Editor), Art Goodtimes (Poetry Editor), John Seed (Australian Correspondent), Rick Davis (Japan Correspondent), Jim Stiles (Art), Helen Wilson (Art), John Zaelit (Art), Mad Jack (Art), Mike Roselle (Art), Marcy Willow (Art), and Tucson Earth First!
