Paperback. Condizione: New. This book reveals glimpses of how the quantum physics of atoms and molecules influences, and even controls, the way our cells function and how we and our fellow animals interact with our environment. Simply put, how birds fly and why grass grows.Certainly, biochemistry and molecular biology are the foundations for the biology of living cells, but there is more-quantum coherence and entanglement influencing the functioning of proteins and enzymes, and strictly speaking, without the quantum phenomena we wouldn't even be here.In the end, however, this book is based on the solid ground of science, presenting the many fascinating phenomena of how quantum physics makes life possible without any unwarranted mystification.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. An energy revolution is going on today that will benefit all of us, as it makes our basic needs in electricity more affordable and the world a cleaner place. PV and wind power are witnessing worldwide growth, be it gigawatt-level central power stations or building-integrated plants installed by millions of individuals. Wind energy has rapidly become a leader of new developments, and PV has achieved dominance in the global energy markets-financial benefits being the main drivers. The current decade has seen wind power and PV eventually reaching the top of the energy markets, with nuclear power's decline accelerating. The intermittency of PV and wind power is being rapidly overcome through massive integration of battery energy storage systems in various sizes.This book is not about wishful thinking and speculations, but hard facts and figures. It has been written by international experts who have made this energy revolution possible. It provides an overview of the global development of renewable energy from its beginnings in the mid-1950s all the way to its leadership today. The objective views of experts presented with the global well-being in mind are of general interest, highlight the benefits of renewable energy, and give evidence of the lies and biased and distorted views of the defenders of the old conventional energy, which had its day. The book explains how, thanks to renewable energy, the low-income populations in the developing nations can at last get access to affordable energy. It demonstrates how the world has now understood the benefits provided by our friendly and inexhaustible sun power.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Stigma still surrounds suffering from mental health problems, and in most low-resource settings in "developed" and especially the "developing" world, this prejudice is compounded by an utter lack of resources to address these problems. The class of mental health problems is the greatest source of morbidity worldwide compared to all other categories of health problems and is also the most neglected. The difference between the vast mental health needs worldwide and the scarce resources that address them is known as the "mental health gap." This book portrays this gap through the story of two men suffering from schizophrenia and clinical depression in an unnamed low-income country. At the same time, it portrays how "there" can be "anywhere" by providing glimpses of the mental health issues of a relief worker's mother back home.This book relies on the stories of Sam and Berko to bring alive the mental health gap and raise awareness of the all too often "unseen" presence of mental illness throughout the world, a problem that contributes to enormous suffering and disability without ever showing up on an X-ray or in blood tests, let alone in public discourse. The book aspires to educate on the mental health gap by showing rather than telling and using narrative rather than epidemiology and statistics. It will inspire mental health professionals to apply their craft outside of customary areas of mental health practice; policy makers and government planners to better allocate protections and resources to mental health problems; the public to advocate for change; and everyone to reflect on the sources of our distress and our contentment.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. What differentiates humans from other living beings is our ability to communicate, our complex reasoning, and our use of skilled hands and smart brains to build houses, cities, and societies. We are able to learn. We penetrate into the unknown. We dominate our planet. For thousands of years, we have lived close to animals. As we are gaining a more complete understanding of our physiology, we are observing that we are not so different from them and other life forms. By studying them, we can sharpen our senses, treat diseases, and overcome some of our weaknesses. By observing their unique capabilities, we invent ways to emulate their performances in areas where evolution has helped them excel. Animals have helped us build our human culture and civilization. We still take advantage of them, even push them back into ever more restricted habitats. We are now at risk of forgetting that Sapiens' only way to thrive, and planet Earth to survive, will be to humbly accept our place in the "shadow of animals."This book explains how various animals have adapted to extreme conditions, and why humans need to study animals and should protect them. It helps us to understand how "life on our planet" evolved. It is a popular presentation of the human-animal relationship for curious readers of all ages. It will hopefully stimulate scientific discussions among high school and university students.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Second Principle of Thermodynamics is nowadays a sort of "religious" belief: the certainty that our universe, with everything in it, is destined to be destroyed, sentients included-a thought that has been heavily radicated for decades in a society divided between rigid atheists and likewise rigid religious people. The laws of nature are presently not so clear about this topic. What was initially the "Second Principle of Thermodynamics" has now become for most people the "Second Law of Thermodynamics." A "law" is true everywhere, whereas a "principle" is true only on Earth. However, Earth is a planet of the solar system; the presence of stars (the sun being one) changes the things, but this fact is normally not taken into account.This book discusses man's derivation from inert matter and disproves the general validity of the Second Principle of Thermodynamics, together with inherent social considerations. This view renders coherent the full history of the universe's evolution with human beings in it, bringing out incoherent hypotheses connected with vaguely religious necessities. At variance with all previous narrations, this new perspective also renders coherent the presence and the future of the human beings on Earth, a vision that enlarges the perspectives even from the religious points of view.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book is an anthology of philosophical essays. Its principle is simple: the moments of our life are original. What we perceive and think does not arise from an elusive and illusive entity called God, Soul or External World. This setting, in line with philosophical and scientific trends, is the starting point for reaching a coherent and innovative solution to the problems of knowledge. In the foreground we encounter the relationship between the mind and the brain, where the terms are composed according to the analogy with music and the musical score, and then the basis of time and the sense of the Big Bang. These are the frame and sketch of the book.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book offers a vital contribution to the study of women in classical music, focusing on composer Maria Hester Park. It addresses a significant gap in scholarship on late 18th- and early 19th-century women composers, examining Park's life, keyboard works, influence within London's cultural milieu, and professional networks within a male-dominated musical world. The book explores her performances, engagement with subscription publishing, and the societal expectations shaping female musical accomplishments, encouraging a broader recognition of women's artistic legacies from this period.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book brings together several decades of research on the topic, including the last two decades of the author's own research. Each specific point of view was either formed beforehand or emerged in the  process of ethnography and its analysis. The book explores various aspects of autochthonous Christian music in Jerusalem and other localities in Israel. It covers aspects such as the music of iconic Christian places in Jerusalem; fieldwork, documentation, and research of the local Christian tradition and its music; and longitudinal perspectives and cross-cultural environment. Other topics include historical connections (albeit hypothetical and not based on direct evidence of any kind or source) between Christian music heard and performed in the churches of Jerusalem and its predecessors in Second Temple practices, the earliest Christian music in the area, and other sources with varying historical depth. The book presents a wide range of topics related to the history and modernity of Christian music through the eyes of a scholar from Jerusalem, a city that encompasses the musical traditions of 10 officially represented churches, not to mention their subdivisions, as well as several other, officially unrepresented denominations.…

It contains a wide range of in-detail examples of successful collaborative works that illustrate the breadth and depth of contemporary interdisciplinary creative-research approaches.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. This book makes a compelling argument for the role of the engineering profession in advancing human development and security and its contribution to various peacebuilding and diplomatic efforts in the 21st-century world. How do engineers collaborate with other disciplines to deliver interventions contributing to peacebuilding and diplomatic efforts in conflict-affected, conflict-sensitive, and fragile community environments? How should engineers be trained in lifelong practice to do so? What principles should the engineering profession uphold while participating in peacebuilding and diplomatic initiatives? How does the engineering profession serve the local and global public good?The book emphasizes the importance of developing programs, such as peace engineering and engineering diplomacy, and training globally engaged engineers with attitudes, skills, knowledge, and lifelong experience to address the challenges of the 21st century. Engineering is not only about delivering technology. It involves developing and implementing solutions that benefit people and the planet (nature-based solutions), contribute to prosperity, create partnerships, and promote peace. Engineers must be systems thinkers and globally involved in actively participating in sustainable development, peacebuilding, peacemaking, peacekeeping, and diplomatic efforts.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. This book is an inspirational story about how an idea got started, hit the ground running, and took flight. Solar Decathlon (SD) was a response to the need for innovative solutions to address a global problem-climate change. Richard King believed a collegiate competition that encouraged creative ingenuity could help transform traditional ways of designing and building houses. His idea was to motivate students to work together to craft unique sustainable, net-zero energy dwellings. Competing teams would display their prototypes in a single location as an educational showcase to the public. Following the inaugural competition and recurring events in Washington, DC, SD spread to multiple locations around the world. This historical narrative with stunning photos is a comprehensive source of information about the inception, development, and growth of Solar Decathlon.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book introduces polytempic polymicrotonality as a new musical aesthetic. It proposes music with more than one microtonal tuning system and discusses examples from the literature to give an historic framework showing that this tendency has been present throughout human musical history. Polytempo is a tool for which polymicrotonal structures can function in relief from its background, and it acts as a frame, or ground structure, that is multidimensional, akin to the advancement of perspective in Renaissance art. The book has historic significance as it is the only book of its category, or genre, in music that features polymicrotonality in music composition or production. It displays examples of music literature for musical precedence in this area, focusing on Charles Ives's Universe Symphony, unfinished since 1925.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This monograph is about hurricanes, prompted by a discovery that suggests they will become more powerful with global warming. It provides, at a college physics level, a basic understanding of hurricanes emphasizing the flow of energy into and out of these storms and, as a textbook, covers some material that might be taught in meteorology or atmospheric physics courses. The text is centered on a new discovery that is not in any existing textbook. Because of the new discovery, the book is of immediate interest to all meteorologists.It turns out that hurricanes, as revealed by the new discovery, are usefully regarded as a separate phase of matter, bringing in characteristic temperature dependences near their transitions. The role of phase change in understanding hurricanes brings in the 20th-century discoveries in theoretical physics relating to critical phenomena with non-intuitive values of the critical exponent ? entering the formula P = const (T - Tc)?, where P is a characteristic strength parameter, or order parameter, of the phase of matter appearing at Tc. According to the new discovery on hurricanes, it appears that taking the wind velocity as the order parameter P, the critical exponent is near 1/3. In a second discovery, we find that a small correction to this value is brought in by the complicated physics of the renormalization group, that earned K. G. Wilson the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1982.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. The most celebrated of Western composers in the twentieth century, Igor Stravinsky may have been the greatest as well. Stretching across forty or so years, the essays in this volume address the dynamics of Igor Stravinsky's music from a variety of analytical, critical, and aesthetic angles. Underscored are the features of melody, harmony, rhythm, and form that would remain consistently a part of Stravinsky's oeuvre regardless of the changes in orientation from the Russian period to the neoclassical and the early serial. The Rite of Spring (1913), Les Noces (1917-23), the Symphony of Psalms (1930), and the Symphony in Three Movements (1945) are discussed in detail, as are many of the circumstances attending their conception. Other concerns include the composer's "formalist" aesthetics and the strict performing style he pursued as an interpreter and conductor of his music.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book is a study of the Bharata Natyam dance genre "padam" focusing on its patrons and composers and its formal structure, texts, and music. It examines the "rewriting" of South Indian dance and the decades-long debates over the classicization and ownership of South Indian music. The control over the representation of the arts is a subject that should resonate with scholars working in a wide variety of genres and across many countries. The study is diachronic (historical) and also synchronic (examining padams' organizational structure as a system). Importantly, the text includes 30 Tamil language songs, minutely translated and annotated together with a documentation of their performance history in the 20th century. Classical and modern music composers and performers, ethnomusicologists, librettists, singers, choreographers, art historians, dancers, dance scholars, and dance teachers will find them useful in giving students a deep contextual understanding of Bharata Natyam. The book will find an enthusiastic readership with dance teachers who are actively training Bharata Natyam students. It will also attract a scholarly audience as an anthropological and historical study of an artistic form which has a high profile in South Asia and has become prominent in the growing fields of ethnomusicology, dance ethnography and "world dance.".…
