Energy Analysis for a Sustainable Future: Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism
ISBN: 9781138928060 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The vast majority of the countries of the world are now facing an imminent energy crisis, particularly the USA, China, India, Japan and EU countries, but also developing countries having to boost their economic growth precisely when more powerful economies will prevent them from using the limited supply of fossil energy. Despite this crisis, current protocols of energy accounting have been developed for dealing with fossil energy exclusively and are therefore not useful for the analysis of alternative energy sources. The first part of the book illustrates the weakness of existing...

The Biofuel Delusion: The Fallacy of Large-Scale Agro-Biofuel Production
ISBN: 9781844076819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Faced with the twin threats of peak oil and climate change, many governments have turned for an answer to the apparent panacea of biofuels. Yet, increasingly, the progressive implementation of this solution demonstrates that the promise of biofuels as a replacement to fossil fuels is in fact a mirage that, if followed, risks leaving us short of power, short of food and doing as much damage to the climate as ever let alone the consequent impact on biodiversity due to additional loss of habitat for agricultural production and on rural development due to the additional stress on traditional...

The Metabolic Pattern of Societies: Where Economists Fall Short
ISBN: 9781138802926 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It is increasingly evident that the conventional scientific approach to economic processes and related sustainability issues is seriously flawed. No economist predicted the current planetary crisis even though the world has now undergone five severe recessions primed by dramatic increases in the price of oil. This book presents the results of more than twenty years of work aimed at developing an alternative method of analysis of the economic process and related sustainability issues: it is possible to perform an integrated and comprehensive analysis of the sustainability of socio-economic...

Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Agroecosystems
ISBN: 9780849310676 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ecologists, agronomists, and others who may question the validity of current models for determining sustainable growth of agroecosystems, need a new set of analytical tools that more effectively address the complex nature of related processes. Those who challenge traditional assumptions of optimization and static factors in agricultural modeling demand new methods beyond differential equations and traditional statistical tests.
Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Agroecosystems explores alternative ways to study agricultural sustainability, presenting new approaches to organizing data and...

The Jevons Paradox and the Myth of Resource Efficiency Improvements
ISBN: 9781844074624 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. ?The Jevons Paradox?, which was first expressed in 1865 by William Stanley Jevons in relation to use of coal, states that an increase in efficiency in using a resource leads to increased use of that resource rather than to a reduction. This has subsequently been proved to apply not just to fossil fuels, but other resource use scenarios. For example, doubling the efficiency of food production per hectare over the last 50 years (due to the Green Revolution) did not solve the problem of hunger. The increase in efficiency increased production and worsened hunger because of the resulting increase...
