103 projects demonstrate composition of objects, how substances are affected by various forms of energy—heat, light, sound, electricity, mechanical energy, etc. How a thermometer measures heat, how an electric bulb emits light, how shadows are formed, how to make a periscope, how to make a rainbow, etc.
Photovoltaics in the Urban Environment: Lessons Learnt from Large Scale Projects
The concept of cities as potential photovoltaic power plants is rapidly gaining prominence, but until now there has been no large scale study of the impacts of such development on urban fabric and infrastructure, or on inhabitants. This book, based on wide-ranging studies supported by the European Commission and International Energy Agency, is the first to properly address these issues.
Beyond Smoke and Mirrors: Climate Change and Energy in the 21st Century
Global climate change is one of the most important issues humanity faces today. This book assesses the sensible, senseless and biased proposals for averting the potentially disastrous consequences of global warming, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions on switching to more sustainable energy provision.
Your personal energy is a precious commodity, and to live fully, you must vigilantly nurture and protect that energy. Now, with Positive Energy Practices, renowned psychiatrist and intuitive Judith Orloff teaches you a series of techniques, guided meditations, and tools to harness the power of positive energy and combat the influences that drain and deplete us. "We can’t stop the negative circumstances from happening in our lives, but we can learn ways to protect our energy so that we can stay centered in dealing with the stresses that arise," teaches Dr. Judith Orloff.
