Drilling Down: The Gulf Oil Debacle and Our Energy Dilemma
ISBN: 9781441976765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. For more than a century, oil has been the engine of growth for a society that delivers an unprecedented standard of living to many. We now take for granted that economic growth is good, necessary, and even inevitable, but also feel a sense of unease about the simultaneous growth of complexity in the processes and institutions that generate and manage that growth.

Supply-Side Sustainability
ISBN: 9780231105873 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While environmentalists insist that lower rates of consumption of natural resources are essential for a sustainable future, many economists dismiss the notion that resource limits act to constrain modern, creative societies.

Written by two ecologists and an anthropologist, this book discusses...
