 Sustainable Energy Transitions: Socio-Ecological Dimensions of Decarbonization by Dustin Mulvaney English | PDF | 2020 | 254 Pages | ISBN : 3030489116 | 9.3 MB Systems that produce, deliver, and consume energy all around us are under- going a transition. This is a textbook that I hope reaches people interested in learning about the socio-ecological dimensions of energy system transi- tions from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including ideas and concepts from engineering, economics, and life-cycle assessment to sociology, polit- ical science, anthropology, policy studies, the humanities, arts, and some interdisciplinary thinkers that defy categories. One prominent voice in cur- rent debates about energy transitions are argue to act on decarbonizing energy systems to mitigate climate impacts from carbon pollution from energy supplies. But other socio-ecological systems will be transformed and may benefit from shifts in energy use and production patterns.

Structure of Finite Algebras (Contemporary Mathematics) by David Charles Hobby and Ralph McKenzie English | August 1988 | ISBN: 0821850733 | Pages: 203 | DJVU | 3 MB The utility of congruence lattices in revealing the structure of general algebras has been recognized since Garrett Birkhoff's pioneering work in the 1930s and 1940s. However, the results presented in this book are of very recent origin: most of them were developed in 1983.  Stingless Bees: Their Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution by Christoph Grüter English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 394 Pages | ISBN : 3030600890 | 48.7 MB Stingless bees (Meliponini) are the largest and most diverse group of social bees, yet their largely tropical distribution means that they are less studied than their relatives, the bumble bees and honey bees. Stingless bees produce honey and collect pollen from tens of thousands of tropical plant species and, in the process, provide critical pollination services in the tropics. Like many other insects, they are struggling with new human-made challenges like habitat destruction, climate change and new diseases.

 Sports, Study, or Sleep: Understanding the Student-Athlete's College Experiences by Dinur Blum English | EPUB | 2020 | 158 Pages | ISBN : 3030613259 | 0.7 MB This book challenges existing literature on student-athletes and examines the obstacles student-athletes face with respect to academic achievement in college. Blum includes excerpts from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with US student-athletes, coaches, academic advisors, and learning specialists to provide insights on how student-athletes define success academically, athletically, and professionally. He also identifies the challenges student-athletes face inside and outside of the classroom and how they can be helped in achieving academic success.  Sport, technology and the body: the nature of performance By Tara Magdalinski 2009 | 198 Pages | ISBN: 041537877X | PDF | 3 MB What is the nature of athletic performance? This book offers an answer to this fascinating question by considering the relationship between sport, technology and the body. Specifically, it examines cultural resistance to the enhancement of athletes and explores the ways in which performance technologies complicate and confound our conception of the sporting body. The book addresses concerns about the technological ''invasion'' of the ''natural'' body to investigate expectations that athletic performances reflect nothing more than the actual capacity of the untainted athlete. By examining a series of case studies, including Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, Fastskin swimsuits, hypoxic chambers and an array of illicit substances and methods, the book distinguishes between internal and external technologies to highlight the ways that performance enhancement, and public reaction to it, can be read. Sport, Technology and the Body offers a powerful challenge to conventional views of athletic performance that stand authenticity against artifice, integrity against corruption, and athletic purity against technological intrusion. It is essential reading for all serious students of the sociology, culture or ethics of sport.

As the food industry adjusts to new consumer demands for safe and low processed foods, the time has come to harmonize product and process engineering with 'relationship engineering' from farm to fork.
 Talia Baiocchi, "Sherry: A Modern Guide to the Wine World's Best-Kept Secret, with Cocktails and Recipes" English | 2014 | ISBN: 160774581X | 272 pages | EPUB | 24 MB There is no other wine that is as versatile, as utterly unique in its range and production methods-and, unfortunately, as misunderstood-as sherry. For centuries, sherry was considered one of the world's great wines, spoken about in the same reverential terms as the finest Bordeaux and Burgundies. But in the last few decades, sherry lost its way-and cheap, cloyingly sweet blends sullied the reputation of what remains one of Spain's oldest and greatest winemaking traditions. |
