Hack the Planet Science's Best Hope - or Worst Nightmare - for Averting Climate Catastrophe【電子書籍】[ Eli Kintisch ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An inside tour of the incredibleーand probably dangerousーplans to counteract the effects of climate change through experiments that range from the plausible to the fantastic</strong></p> <p>David Battisti had arrived in Cambridge expecting a bloodbath. So had many of the other scientists who had joined him for an invitation-only workshop on climate science in 2007, with geoengineering at the top of the agenda. We can't take deliberately altering the atmosphere seriously, he thought, because there’s no way we'll ever know enough to control it. But by the second day, with bad climate news piling on bad climate news, he was having second thoughts. When the scientists voted in a straw poll on whether to support geoengineering research, Battisti, filled with fear about the future, voted in favor.</p> <p>While the pernicious effects of global warming are clear, efforts to reduce the carbon emissions that cause it have fallen far short of what’s needed. Some scientists have started exploring more direct and radical ways to cool the planet, such as:</p> <ul> <li>Pouring reflective pollution into the upper atmosphere</li> <li>Making clouds brighter</li> <li>Growing enormous blooms of algae in the ocean</li> </ul> <p>Schemes that were science fiction just a few years ago have become earnest plans being studied by alarmed scientists, determined to avoid a climate catastrophe. In <em>Hack the Planet, Science</em> magazine reporter Eli Kintisch looks more closely at this array of ideas and characters, asking if these risky schemes will work, and just how geoengineering is changing the world.</p> <p>Scientists are developing geoengineering techniques for worst-case scenarios. But what would those desperate times look like? Kintisch outlines four circumstances: collapsing ice sheets, megadroughts, a catastrophic methane release, and slowing of the global ocean conveyor belt.</p> <p>As incredible and outlandish as many of these plans may seem, could they soon become our only hope for avoiding calamity? Or will the plans of brilliant and well-intentioned scientists cause unforeseeable disasters as they play out in the real world? And does the advent of geoengineering mean that humanity has failed in its role as steward of the planetーor taken on a new responsibility? Kintisch lays out the possibilities and dangers of geoengineering in a time of planetary tipping points. His investigation is required reading as the debate over global warming shifts to whether humanity should <em>Hack the Planet</em>.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,155円

A Cubic Mile of Oil Realities and Options for Averting the Looming Global Energy Crisis【電子書籍】[ Hewitt Crane ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>One cubic mile of oil (CMO) corresponds very closely to the world's current total annual consumption of crude oil. The world's total annual energy consumption - from all energy sources- is currently 3.0 CMO. By the middle of this century the world will need between 6 and 9 CMO of energy per year to provide for its citizens. Adequate energy is needed remove the scourge of poverty and provide food, clothing, and shelter for the people around the world, and more will be needed for measures to mitigate the potential effects of climate change such as building dikes and desalinating water. <em>A Cubic Mile of Oil</em> describes the various energy sources and how we use them, projects their future contributions, and delineates what it would take to develop them to annually produce a CMO from each of them. The requirement for additional energy in the future is so daunting that we will need to use all resources. We also examine how improved efficiency and conservation measures can reduce future demand substantially, and help distinguish approaches that make a significant impact as opposed to merely making us feel good. Use of CMO eliminates a multitude of units like tons of coal, gallons of oil, and cubic feet of gas; obviates the need for mind-numbing multipliers such as billions, trillions, and quadrillions; and replaces them with an easy-to-understand volumetric unit. It evokes a visceral response and allows experts, policy makers and the general public alike to form a mental picture of the magnitude of the challenge we face. In the absence of an appreciation of the scale of the problem, we risk squandering efforts and resources in pursuing options that will not meet tomorrow's global energy needs. We must make critical choices, and a common understandable language is essential for a sustained meaningful dialog.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,639円

Averting An Iranian Geopolitical Crisis A Tale of Power Play for Dominance Between Colonial Powers, Tribal and Government Actors in the Pre and Post World War One Era【電子書籍】[ H. RamHormozi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
Caught between the Ottoman Empire to the west, the Russian sphere of influence in the north, and the British colonial territories in India and the Middle East, Iran at the end of the nineteenth century was a hotly contested strategic battleground. The ruling Qajar Dynasty was led by a young and inexperienced king, and the British were busy extending their reach through unbalanced treaties and resource concessions. Meanwhile, powerful tribal leaders like Sheikh Khaz’al sought to retain their traditional positions and block efforts to unite the country under a strong central government. With the discovery of oil and Britain’s need to fuel her war machine in World War I, increased attention on Iran demanded a modernization of her policies and government. Reza Khan, an otherwise unknown soldier, united the armed forces and swept to power, bringing with him the unity and structure needed to take Iran into the emerging modern world. After disposing of the former rulers, he became the new shah, and fought to rebuild his country after centuries of abuse and manipulation by foreign powers. What was at stake was the autonomy of Iran’s lifeline, Iran’s “Golden State”, Khuzestan province, a province with abundant, rich oil and gas reservoirs, natural resources with a strategic importance to the warm waters of the Persian Gulf. The full sovereignty (by others) could have exponentially undermined Iran’s position and role on the world stage, both politically and economically, and, even more so, in the turbulent Middle East of today. Events of the time period of this book are very pertinent to the current geopolitical conversation, struggles and developments in the region. This is the story of the dynamic power play for dominance, robust diplomacy, and political rivalries between colonial powers, powerful tribes, and government actors in the Iranian southwest theater. The emergence of a powerful regime in Iran and the superpowers’ radical shifts in foreign policy and in the regional engagements in the post World War I, significantly contributed to averting this geopolitical crisis of a historic proportion. It is an extensively researched and definitive history of Iran at the turn of the twentieth century that is required reading for anyone seeking to understand the history of colonialism, oil exploration, and the ongoing political tensions of the Middle East.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 953円

Averting the Apocalypse Social Movements in India Today【電子書籍】[ Arthur Bonner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>There are two Indias: the caste and class elite who hold all power and make up 10 to 15 percent of the population, and everyone else. <em>Averting the Apocalypse</em> is about everyone else. Arthur Bonner, a former <em>New York Times</em> reporter with long experience as a foreign correspondent in Asia, conducted interviews over many months while traveling almost 20,000 miles within India seeking out the underclass and social activists who together are beginning to mobilize for social change at the bottom of Indian society. Working in areas torn by violence, Bonner offers a terrifyingly accurate portrait of a society bloodied by decades of unequal social structure and the absence of a civil society and political mechanism capable of responding to the exploitation of the poor and weak.<br /> Bonner finds that India’s inability or refusal to address its debilitating social structure may be the precursor to an apocalyptic social upheaval unless heed is paid to the social movements that his first-hand investigation reveals.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,385円

Averting the Digital Dark Age How Archivists, Librarians, and Technologists Built the Web a Memory【電子書籍】[ Ian Milligan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>How the internet's memory infrastructure developedーaverting a "digital dark age"ーand introduced a golden age of historical memory.</strong></p> <p>In early 1996, the web was ephemeral. But by 2001, the internet was forever. How did websites transform from having a brief life to becoming long-lasting? Drawing on archival material from the Internet Archive and exclusive interviews, Ian Milligan's <em>Averting the Digital Dark Age</em> explores how Western society evolved from fearing a digital dark age to building the robust digital memory we rely on today.</p> <p>By the mid-1990s, the specter of a "digital dark age" haunted libraries, portending a bleak future with no historical record that threatened cyber obsolescence, deletion, and apathy. People around the world worked to solve this impending problem. In San Francisco, technology entrepreneur Brewster Kahle launched his scrappy nonprofit, Internet Archive, filling tape drives with internet content. Elsewhere, in Washington, Canberra, Ottawa, and Stockholm, librarians developed innovative new programs to safeguard digital heritage.</p> <p>Cataloging worries among librarians, technologists, futurists, and writers from WWII onward, through early practitioners, to an extended case study of how September 11 prompted institutions to preserve thousands of digital artifacts related to the attacks, <em>Averting the Digital Dark Age</em> explores how the web gained a long-lasting memory. By understanding this history, we can equip our society to better grapple with future internet shifts.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,733円

Silent Earth Averting the Insect Apocalypse【電子書籍】[ Dave Goulson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“A terrific book . . . A thoughtful explanation of how the dramatic decline of insect species and numbers poses a dire threat to all life on earth.” ー<em>Booklist</em>, starred review</strong></p> <p>Drawing on thirty years of research, award-winning entomologist and conservationist Dave Goulson has written an accessible, fascinating, and important book that examines the evidence of an alarming drop in insect numbers around the world. “If we lose the insects, then everything is going to collapse,” he warned in a recent interview in <em>the New York Times</em>ーbeginning with humans’ food supply. The main cause of this decrease in insect populations is the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides. Hence, <em>Silent Earth’s</em> nod to Rachel Carson’s classic <em>Silent Spring</em> which, when published in 1962, led to the global banning of DDT. This was a huge victory for science and ecological health at the time.</p> <p>Yet before long, new pesticides just as lethal as DDT were introduced, and today, humanity finds itself on the brink of a new crisis. What will happen when the bugs are all gone? Goulson explores the intrinsic connection between climate change, nature, wildlife, and the shrinking biodiversity and analyzes the harmful impact for the earth and its inhabitants.</p> <p>Smart, eye-opening, and essential, <em>Silent Earth</em> is a forceful call to action to save our world, and ultimately, ourselves.</p> <p><em>Silent Earth</em> includes approximately 20 black-and-white illustrations and charts and graphs.</p> <p>“What you never knew about bumblebees, from a man who is both passionate and knowledgeable.” ー<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>, starred review</p> <p>“Essential reading.” ー <em>Independent</em>, London</p> <p>“Goulson steps seamlessly between knowledgeable professor and impassioned environmentalist, and you can’t help but get on board.” ー<em>Sierra</em> Magazine</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,112円

Politics and the General in Supreme Command Law Reform and Averting Unjust War【電子書籍】[ Richard Adams ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book argues for reform of the convention that, when politicians decide on a course of action, the general in supreme command obeys without question.</p> <p>The entire spread?out chain of command is unified in the general, who offers the only connection between the military and politics. Offering the sole connection between the military and politics, only the general can turn political directions into military command and capacitate war. Thus, the general has unique opportunity to resist unconscionable direction to launch an unjust war or to conduct or expand war unjustly. This book argues for reform, so the general has the right in law to refuse direction which is lawful, but awful. The legal capacity to refuse would mean the general would be expected to act responsibly, not merely as the unresisting pawn of politics. Such reform, creating legal opportunity for the supreme command to refuse lawful but unconscionable directives, might avert unjust war.</p> <p>This book will be of much interest to students of the ethics of war, civil?military relations, and international relations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,602円

The Future A New Paradigm - Pathways For Averting Collapse【電子書籍】[ Sesh R Velamoor ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A whole range of new discoveries and theories, from chaos to complexity, from string theories to postmodern notions of truth and reality, are forcing us to question, indeed abandon, the legacy of the Baconian Age and interrogate the very idea that "humans" are the center, sum and substance of the world!</p> <p>The <strong>long-term future</strong> is a product of a complex set of interacting factors, forces and processes wherein humans have an active role, but do not, and cannot, determine the outcomes. We must transcend history in an imaginative and bold manner: <strong>foresight</strong> is key to our survival.</p> <p>Addressing issues of <strong>human survival</strong> in this framework also forces us to recognize that we, as humans, have a responsibility; not just as current custodians of the planet, but also as shapers of <strong>long-range futures</strong>: viable futures, with meaningful legacies for generations far ahead. Disregarding this responsibility would be tantamount to leaving the future generations a wasteland as their inheritance.</p> <p>This compilation of <strong>essays, talks and interviews</strong> presents the canvas upon which to explore these issues within a framework of larger totalities-such as "humankind" and "planet earth"-within the scope of an <strong>evolutionary time frame</strong>. What results is a blueprint for negotiating a <strong>global transition</strong> to <strong>avoid collapse.</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,145円

Southeast Asia’s Multipolar Future Averting a New Cold War【電子書籍】[ Thomas Parks ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Southeast Asia is rapidly becoming a competitive space for geopolitical rivalries. The growth in China-U.S. strategic competition is creating deep anxiety among Southeast Asia leaders, China's rising power is felt across every corner of Southeast Asia, and many leaders are worried about the long-term implications of rising Chinese influence in the region. The United States' increasingly assertive approach towards China is welcomed by some governments, but the growth in tensions is creating deep anxiety about a possible new Cold War. How can the region prevent a repeat of the divisions and bitter rivalries of the previous Cold War?</p> <p>This book argues that Southeast Asia is emerging as an open, autonomous region, where small and middle powers can maintain their sovereignty and shape the regional order. Despite new superpower pressures, the region is moving towards a multi-polar order, with greater agency for Southeast Asian countries. The key to Southeast Asia's future may be other external powers ? particularly Japan, Australia, India, and Europe ? who can provide ASEAN governments with more diverse partnerships, enabling them to avoid the bipolar blocs of superpower rivalries. The book argues that external partners are helping to shape the geopolitical order by supporting ASEAN leadership and diluting the influence of great powers. Southeast Asian countries also have remarkable capacity to manage asymmetrical relations and balance external powers. The book describes the region's history of managing great power relations, drawing on historical and contemporary cases. By examining the dynamics between Southeast Asia and external powers, the book predicts that the region's future will look entirely different from its Cold War past.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,989円

Averting Catastrophe Decision Theory for COVID-19, Climate Change, and Potential Disasters of All Kinds【電子書籍】[ Cass R Sunstein ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling author of <em>Nudge</em> and <em>The World According to Star Wars</em> examines how governments handle worst-case scenarios.</strong></p> <p>The world is increasingly confronted with new challenges related to climate change, globalization, disease, and technology. Governments are faced with having to decide how much risk is worth taking, how much destruction and death can be tolerated, and how much money should be invested in the hopes of avoiding catastrophe. Lacking full information, should decision-makers focus on avoiding the most catastrophic outcomes? When should extreme measures be taken to prevent as much destruction as possible?</p> <p><em>Averting Catastrophe</em> explores how governments ought to make decisions in times of imminent disaster. Cass R. Sunstein argues that using the “maximin rule,” which calls for choosing the approach that eliminates the worst of the worst-case scenarios, may be necessary when public officials lack important information, and when the worst-case scenario is too disastrous to contemplate. He underscores this argument by emphasizing the reality of “Knightian uncertainty,” found in circumstances in which it is not possible to assign probabilities to various outcomes. Sunstein brings foundational issues in decision theory in close contact with real problems in regulation, law, and daily life, and considers other potential future risks. At once an approachable introduction to decision-theory and a provocative argument for how governments ought to handle risk, <em>Averting Catastrophe</em> offers a definitive path forward in a world rife with uncertainty.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円
