 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1009160338 | 454 pages | True PDF | 5.38 MB Written by an award-winning historian of science and technology, Planet in Peril describes the top four mega-dangers facing humankind – climate change, nukes, pandemics, and artificial intelligence. It outlines the solutions that have been tried, and analyzes why they have thus far fallen short. These four existential dangers present a special kind of challenge that urgently requires planet-level responses, yet today's international institutions have so far failed to meet this need. The book lays out a realistic pathway for gradually modifying the United Nations over the coming century so that it can become more effective at coordinating global solutions to humanity's problems. Neither optimistic nor pessimistic, but pragmatic and constructive, the book explores how to move past ideological polarization and global political fragmentation. Unafraid to take intellectual risks, Planet in Peril sketches a plausible roadmap toward a safer, more democratic future for us all.
 English | 2022 | ISBN: 8770227551 | 150 pages | True PDF | 11.09 MB Millions of lives and business have either been lost or significantly impacted by COVID-19. Yet, many are warning that climate change will be much more devastating over the coming decades. Reality is starting to set in. We are not going to achieve our global mitigation targets; we probably won't even come close. Individuals faced with this reality react differently, from willful ignorance to anxiety and depression, all normal reactions. If you believe in science and understand the likelihood of our failure to meet our targets, you need to accept and plan for an unknown, challenging future. We may be individually powerless to stop climate change, but we certainly can act in ways that will help us better face the consequences. This book provides a structured approach to plan and prepare today for a world rocked by a turbulent climate.

English | 2018 | ISBN: 978-1536136463 | 345 pages | True PDF | 13.69 MB Presenting a complete guide for the planning, design and implementation of solar PV systems for photovoltaic (PV) applications, this book features analyses based on the authors' own laboratory testing as well as their experiences in the field. Incorporating the latest developments in smart-digital and control technologies into the design criteria of the photovoltaic (PV) system, this book will also focus on how to integrate newer smart design approaches and techniques for improving the efficiency, reliability and flexibility of the entire system (for example, powered mobile robotics). Although the design and implementation of several applications based on new proposed techniques of photovoltaic PV system were the first goal for elaborating in this book, many theoretical surveys which involve the trends, photovoltaic fabrications, management, distributed generation, economical aspects, feasibility analysis, reliability, performance and integration of solar photovoltaic sources through smart controllers for managing the load intelligently and effectively is presented as a key case study. Maximizing reader insights into the performance of different components of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under different operating conditions, the book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, PV designers, planners, and practitioners working in the area of solar PV design, implementation and assessment.
