As fossil fuel prices rise, oil insecurity deepens, and concerns about climate change cast a shadow over the future of coal, a new energy economy is emerging.

For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, we have begun investing in energy sources that can last forever. Plan B 4.0 explores both the nature of this transition to a new energy economy and how it will affect our daily lives.

The Twenty Ninth Day
ISBN: 9780393056730 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The global lily pond in which four billion of us live may already be half full. Although UN projections show world population continuing to grow until it reaches ten to sixteen billion, Lester Brown believes this is unrealistic. In this fascinating analysis of the fisheries, forests, grasslands, and croplands--the author shows that the demands at current levels of population and per capita consumption often exceed the long-term carrying capacity. He documents the overfishing, deforestation, and overgrazing that are gradually undermining human life support systems. He also explains that with...

Tough Choices: Facing the Challenge of Food Scarcity
ISBN: 9780393315738 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In a world where the need for seafood and grain for the 90 million people being added each year is being satisfied in part by reducing consumption among those already here, the world has little choice but to try and quickly slow population growth. Historically, farmers and fishermen bore the primary responsibility for balancing supply and demand. Now with the fish catch no longer expanding and with the growth in grain production slowing, the principal responsibility rests with the family planners.

Earth Policy Reader
ISBN: 9780393324068 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Brown explains, for example, why wind-generated electricity with its abundance and falling cost is emerging as the foundation of the new post-fossil fuel energy economy: now cheaper than electricity from coal, oil, or natural gas, it can be used to electrolyze water and produce hydrogen, the fuel of choice for the new fuel cell engines that every major automobile manufacturer is working on. And since an eco-economy relies heavily on recycling materials already in the system, such as steel and aluminum, we learn how, in this new economy, recycling industries will largely replace mining...

Who Will Feed China?: Wake-Up Call for a Small Planet
ISBN: 9780393314090 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In an integrated world economy, China's rising food prices will become the world's rising food prices. China's land scarcity will become everyone's land scarcity. And water scarcity in China will affect the entire world. China's dependence on massive imports, like the collapse of the world's fisheries, will be a wake-up call that we are colliding with the earth's capacity to feed us. It could well lead us to redefine national security away from military preparedness and toward maintaining adequate food supplies.

Eco-Economy: Building a New Economy for the Environmental Age
ISBN: 9780393321937 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1543, Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the view that the Sun revolved around the Earth, arguing instead that the Earth revolved around the Sun. His paper led to a revolution in thinking to a new worldview. "Eco-Economy" discusses the need today for a similar shift in our worldview. The issue now is whether the environment is part of the economy or the economy is part of the environment. Lester R. Brown argues the latter, pointing out that treating the environment as part of the economy has produced an economy that is destroying its natural support systems. Brown notes that...

Beyond Malthus: The Nineteen Dimensions of the Population Challenge
ISBN: 9781138164437 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. On the bicentennial of Malthus' legendary essay on the tendency of population to grow more rapidly than the food supply, this book examines the impacts of population growth on 19 global resources and services, including food, fresh water, fisheries, jobs, education, income and health. Despite current hype of a 'birth dearth' in parts of Europe and Japan, the fact remains that human numbers are projected to increase by over 3 billion by 2050. Populations in rapidly growing nations are in danger of outstripping the carrying capacity of their natural support systems and governments in such...
