But Bill McKibben, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis, insists the moment is also full of possibility. Energy from the sun and wind is suddenly the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history--if we can keep accelerating the pace, we have a chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eHere Comes the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind--and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan's electric grid in a year to the world's sixth-largest economy--California--nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years, Bill McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy. And he shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can't hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves--it's available to all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's no guarantee we can make this change in time, but there is a hope--in McKibben's eyes, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill McKibben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.

The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia, all force tends to persist. Owing to this universal property and condition, a body, be it at rest or in motion, tends to remain in the same state, and a force, manifesting itself anywhere and through whatever cause, produces an equivalent opposing force, and as an absolute necessity of this it follows that every movement in nature must be rhythmical.\" Illustrations include burning the nitrogen of the atmosphere, a diagram of the three ways of increasing human energy, the first practical Telautomaton, an experiment to illustrate the supplying of electrical energy through a single wire without return, the experiment to illustrate the transmission of electrical energy through the earth without wire, a photographic view of the coils responding to electrical oscillations, a view of the essential parts of the electrical oscillator used in the experiment, an experiment to illustrate an inductive effect of an electrical oscillator of great power, the experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for producing electrical explosions, an experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for creating a great electrical movement, a photographic view of an experiment to illustrate the effect of an electrical oscillator delivering energy at a rate of seventy-five thousand horse-power, and small diagrams of wireless telegraphy mechanically illustrated, and obtaining energy from the ambient medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nikola Tesla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684223879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Nikola Tesla \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47282413928605,"sku":"9781684223879","price":20.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_025a34b6-27ef-4dab-9d94-4765629a3761.jpg?v=1759950018"},{"product_id":"the-power-of-nuclear-9781399419079","title":"The Power of Nuclear","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the pilot's seat in the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, to Chernobyl's exclusion zone and to the site in Finland where highly radioactive waste will be buried, this is the incredible story of nuclear power.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProviding a vivid account of the characters and events that have shaped the world's most controversial energy source and our thinking around it, The Power of Nuclear weaves politics, culture and technology to explore nuclear power's past and future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his quest to disentangle myth from facts, Marco Visscher asks: How dangerous is radiation?

There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years.

Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Going Nuclear: Reestablishing American Commercial Nuclear Dominance, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades. Skeptics say that nuclear energy is too expensive and threatens the world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons material and radioactive waste. Proponents say that nuclear power needs and deserves the support of the state and the taxpayer, cradle to grave. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe time has come, Spencer argues, to think big nuclear energy and pull it out of the time capsule that pop culture, environmental activists, lobbyists, peaceniks, and policymakers are all too content to leave nuclear in.

Over 70 years ago, nuclear energy entered the scene with great promise. Now more than ever, the world needs that promise delivered, and America can lead the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Spencer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Optimum Publishing International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780888903570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jack Spencer \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47285777727645,"sku":"9780888903570","price":42.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_ff420975-4d6b-4d93-8c2e-88535851bb8e.jpg?v=1760009628"},{"product_id":"sound-healing-values-visualization-creating-a-life-of-value-9781532377808","title":"Sound Healing \u0026 Values Visualization: Creating a Life of Value","description":"\u003cp\u003eOUR INTENTIONS CAN BE TUNED TO OUR HIGHEST VALUES.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ground breaking and pioneering new work explores the vibratory nature of existence through science, mindful listening, and creative sound explorations.

His work in the therapeutic use of sound dates back to 1977 when he started a Music Therapy workshop that utilized the voice as the primary instrument for self-awareness, empowerment and wellbeing. At that time he was a mental health counselor and coordinator in a pioneering comprehensive \/ holistic health care and social services agency in New York City called The Door that still exists today and has served as a model and incubator for similar agencies nationally and internationally. He was also a graduate student of Anthropology at the New School for Social Research where he was drawn to the work of Dr. Michael Harner in Shamanism and hallucinogenic experiences. He received theoretical and experiential training on the practice of Shamanism and was invited by Dr. Harner to co-lead a graduate seminar on the subject. Being a life long musician and student of music from all over the world, Dr. Perez-Martinez travelled with the noted ethnomusicologist Dr. Verna Gillis to West Africa and South America where they researched, recorded and published the native music of Ghana, Peru and Suriname. Following his interest in Yoga and more specifically Meditation and Pranayama, Dr. Perez-Martinez spent a year in India where he solidified a personal practice that he maintains till the present. In clinical practice Dr. Perez-Martinez has completely integrated breathing exercises, mindfulness meditation, cognitive behavioral therapeutic techniques, physical exercise and therapeutic sound protocols with standard psychiatric care. His goal is to provide patients with self-help tools and practices that can be utilized to complement and optimize treatment outcomes, decrease dependence and use of medications and to promote wellness and a greater sense of wellbeing. The voice and the full range of sound healing instruments (tuning forks, gongs, singing bowls, drums, shruti boxes, etc.) are utilized in both group and individual sessions. Currently Dr. Perez Martinez divides his time between clinical practice, academic research, writing, teaching, lecturing and conducting workshops. He recently co-wrote with Dr. John Beaulieu the chapter on the therapeutic use of sound in \"Nutrition and Integrative Medicine - A primer for Clinicians,\" an Integrative Medicine textbook. He's also taught therapeutic sound healing workshops to therapists and psychiatrists at the American Psychiatric Association and to many other medical and non-medical professionals.

Almost overnight, the United States has become the world's number one energy powerhouse. Yet concern about energy's role in climate change is challenging the global economy and way of life, accelerating a second energy revolution in the search for a low-carbon future.

The South China Sea, claimed by China and the world's most critical trade route, could become the arena where the United States and China directly collide. The map of the Middle East, which was laid down after World War I, is being challenged by jihadists, revolutionary Iran, ethnic and religious clashes, and restive populations.

From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan's electric grid in a year to the world's sixth-largest economy--California--nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years, Bill McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy. And he shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can't hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves--it's available to all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's no guarantee we can make this change in time, but there is a hope--in McKibben's eyes, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill McKibben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
