Energy, Complexity and Wealth Maximization
ISBN: 9783319305448 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 593 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book is about the mechanisms of wealth creation, or what we like to think of as evolutionary "progress." The massive circular flow of goods and services between producers and consumers is not a perpetual motion machine; it has been dependent for the past 150 years on energy inputs from a finite storage of fossil fuels. In this book, you will learn about the three key requirements for wealth creation, and how this process acts according to physical laws, and usually after some part of the natural wealth of the planet has been exploited in an episode of "creative destruction." Knowledge...

ISBN: 9781853834394 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text discusses the current basis of economic growth, concluding that it is is failing to deliver, and is actually harming our prospects for future security. Further arguments propose a possible long-term strategy for economic revival - eco-restructuring.

The History and Future of Technology: Can Technology Save Humanity from Extinction?
ISBN: 9783030713959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Eminent physicist and economist, Robert Ayres, examines the history of technology as a change agent in society, focusing on societal roots rather than technology as an autonomous, self-perpetuating phenomenon. With rare exceptions, technology is developed in response to societal needs that have evolutionary roots and causes. In our genus Homo, language evolved in response to a need for our ancestors to communicate, both in the moment, and to posterity. A band of hunters had no chance in competition with predators that were larger and faster without this type of organization, which...

September Song
ISBN: 9781425777234 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. September Song is a collection of stories and a full-length play, written over a span of fifteen years in the author's long writing career. The settings of the stories range from China to California and Vermont; the play, Guests of Summer, is set in Nebraska. Orville Prescott in the New York Times called one of the stories, "O'Hara's Creation," "a provocative study of an artist lost in alcoholism, given an extra push downward by the monotony of his soldier life in China, and the fantastic mural he painted on the walls of a recreation hall."

The Life Cycle of Copper, Its Co-Products and Byproducts
ISBN: 9781402015526 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Achieving the goals and objectives of sustainable development requires better information about the consequences of proposed actions. Partial information accounts for many failed efforts in the past. The financial implications for the proponent of the projects have often been more thoroughly analyzed than the implications for other actors. The impacts on biological diversity, or on the social fabric of local communities, have often been ignored. Decisi- makers may also focus more on the short-term consequences instead of long- term impacts, creating negative unintended consequences. It is...

The History and Future of Economics
ISBN: 9783031262074 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is three-fold. The first purpose is to posit that the fundamental substance of the universe is energy, and that energy is required (consumed) for any material transformation, or information transmission. The labor theory of value, articulated by the physiocrats and elaborated by Adam Smith, David Ricardo, J.B. Say and Karl Marx was a rough first approximation of the value creation process, in the 17thand 18thcenturies, but is now obsolete. Labor is now (mostly) performed by machines, not by humans (or animals).The second aim of the book is to argue that the economy is...

Computer Integrated Manufacturing: Volume I: Revolution in Progress
ISBN: 9789401511087 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Motivation of the Study CIM is an abbreviation for Computer Integrated Manufacturing (see Sec- tion 1. 4, Chapter 1). It is an acronym that has become fairly weIl known in recent years in manufacturing and related engineering circles, although most laymen have never heard the term. The question naturaIly arises: why should a multinational, multidisciplinary organization like IIASA under- take a major study of such a seemingly arcane topic at this time of glasnost, perestroika, nuclear disarmament, and concern with global climate change, among other issues of global significance competing for...
