ISBN: 9780313381775 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Energy transitions are fundamental processes behind the evolution of human societies: they both drive and are driven by technical, economic, and social changes. In a bold and provocative argument, Energy Transitions: History, Requirements, Prospects describes the history of modern society's dependence on fossil fuels and the prospects for the transition to a nonfossil world.

Energia i cywilizacja. Tak tworzy siÄ™ historia
ISBN: 9788328905443 / Polski / broszurowa / 2023 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Energia jest warunkiem wszystkiego. Energia ukształtowała Ziemię przez ruchy płyt tektonicznych i doprowadziła do bujnego rozwoju niezliczonych form życia. Wszystkie te ekosystemy i układy troficzne zależały od przepływu energii i ona modyfikowała je w ograniczonym stopniu. Ten prastary układ został zmieniony przez człowieka: jedyną istotę, która, używając intelektu, systematycznie ujarzmiała i wykorzystywała różne formy energii. Epokowe odkrycia niemal zawsze miały związek z energią i konsekwentnie wpływały na rolnictwo, przemysł, wojny, ekonomię, urbanizację,...

Creating the Twentieth Century: Technical Innovations of 1867-1914 and Their Lasting Impact
ISBN: 9780195168747 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The period between 1867 and 1914 remains the greatest watershed in human history since the emergence of settled agricultural societies: the time when an expansive civilization based on synergy of fuels, science, and technical innovation was born. At its beginnings in the 1870s were dynamite, the telephone, photographic film, and the first light bulbs. Its peak decade - the astonishing 1880s - brought electricity - generating plants, electric motors, steam turbines, the gramophone, cars, aluminum production, air-filled rubber tires, and prestressed concrete. And its post-1900 period saw the...

China's Environmental Crisis: An Enquiry into the Limits of National Development: An Enquiry into the Limits of National Development
ISBN: 9781563240416 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1982, Vaclav Smil turned upside down traditional perceptions of China as a green paradise in "The Bad Earth," a disturbing book. This new volume, drawn on a much broader canvas, updates and expands on the basic arguments and perceptions of "The Bad Earth." This book is not a systematic litany of what went wrong and how much - but rather an inquiry into the fundamental factors, needs, prospects, and limits of modern Chinese society, all seen through the critical environmental constraints and impacts.

ISBN: 9781119942535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How much further should the affluent world push its material consumption?

These and many other questions are discussed and answered in Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization. Over the course of time, the modern world has become dependent on unprecedented flows of materials. Now even the most efficient production processes and the highest practical rates of recycling may not be enough to result in dematerialization rates that would be high enough to negate the rising demand for...
