Energizing Sustainable Cities: Assessing Urban Energy
ISBN: 9781849714396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Urban systems now house about half of the world's population, but determine some three quarters of the global economy and its associated energy use and resulting environmental impacts. The twenty-first century will be increasingly urban. Sustainable development therefore needs first to be defined and analyzed, and then realized in urban settings. Energy is one of the key challenges, but also one of the key opportunities in the required urban sustainability transition. The book is the result of a major international effort to conduct the first comprehensive assessment of...

Technological Change and the Environment
ISBN: 9781891853463 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Much is written in the popular literature about the current pace of technological change. But do we have enough scientific knowledge to properly inform policymaking in technology-dependent domains such as energy and the environment? While it is agreed that technological change does not fall from heaven like autumn leaves, the theory, data, and models are deficient. The specific mechanisms that govern the rate and direction of inventive activity, the drives and scope for incremental improvements that occur during technology diffusion, and the spillover effects that cross-fertilize...

Technology and Global Change
ISBN: 9780521543323 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Technology and Global Change describes how technology has shaped society and the environment over the last 200 years. Technology has led us from the farm to the factory to the internet, and its impacts are now global. Technology has eliminated many problems, but has added many others (ranging from urban smog to the ozone hole to global warming). This book is the first to give a comprehensive description of the causes and impacts of technological change and how they relate to global environmental change. Written for specialists and nonspecialists alike, it will be useful for researchers and...

Diffusion of Technologies and Social Behavior
ISBN: 9783662027028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 605 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Wee felt it before in sense; but now wee know it by science. Edward Misselden (1623) The collective effort reported in this volume is the outcome of the diffusion of the idea of diffusion as a fundamental process in society. The considerable number of disciplines represented here indicates the weight of the problem area. The editors are to be congratulated for their initiative in drawing together present thinking at a vivid meeting, now also in print. An old timer in the business has not much to add. But maybe some things, bearing in mind that a Preface is a celebration and not a review. As...
