Totaled The Billion-Dollar Crash of the Startup that Took on Big Auto, Big Oil and the World【電子書籍】[ Brian Blum ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When a billion-dollar electric car startup crashed and burned, global investors and average car buyers alike asked: What happened? Business and technology journalist Brian Blum reveals the answer in his new book <em>TOTALED: The Billion-Dollar Crash of the Startup that Took on Big Auto, Big Oil, and the World.</em></p> <p>The Tesla 3 has grabbed the spotlight as the first “affordable” all-electric vehicle, but Israel’s Better Place came first. The plan was to use Israel --- a country the size of New Jersey and dubbed “the Startup Nation” --- to prove electric cars could work everywhere. Instead of fast charge, Better Place addressed range anxiety by building a network of battery-swap stations --- operated by robots.</p> <p>Better Place’s charismatic CEO Shai Agassi believed his company’s innovative technology could help stop climate change and free nations from the yoke of oil dependence. His magnetic television appearances, viral TED Talk and compelling boardroom presence had investors and business leaders worldwide jumping in to ride shotgun. Countries from Japan to Denmark to Australia signed on and the privately-held Better Place raised nearly a billion dollars.</p> <p>Yet in a few years, it was all over --- the company, buffeted by internal strife, an international corporate spy scandal, the Great Recession and technology disruptions, went bankrupt.</p> <p>The story of the “electric car unicorn that collapsed” is a cautionary tale; a timely case study filled with valuable lessons for entrepreneurs, investors and executives in businesses of all sizes --- as well as everyone chasing the electric car Holy Grail.</p> <p><em>TOTALED</em> lays out the story of what happens when change hits a company on multiple fronts, sometimes all at once. Do you double down and stay the course or pivot like your company’s life depends on it?</p> <p><em>TOTALED</em> plunges deep into the riveting rise and fall of a company that sincerely wanted to change the world but couldn’t quite get to the finish line. <em>TOTALED</em> will captivate you, whether you’re interested in electric cars and mobility, green energy and the environment; or you simply enjoy reading business biographies.</p> <p><em>TOTALED</em> has received rave advance reviews from people like David Pogue, the former New York Times tech writer, who says that “Brian Blum’s deeply researched account is like playing a car-wreck video in slow motion: You can watch every stroke of bad luck, bad timing, and bad blood reduce a once-thrilling idea to dust.”</p> <p>Gina Smith, author of <em>iWoz,</em> the New York Times best-selling biography of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, writes that <em>TOTALED</em> grants access to “a side of the startup world that few ever get to see --- much less survive.”</p> <p>Ron Adner, author of <em>The Wide Lens: What Successful Innovators See that Others Miss,</em> describes <em>TOTALED</em> as “required reading for ambitious innovators.”</p> <p>And Foreword Reviews writes that Better Place CEO Shai Agassi is “as compelling an antihero as found in any technology thriller. The book’s as-it-happens narrative makes for riveting reading.”</p> <p>More information at www.brianblum.com</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。 1,368円

Wildcat Women Narratives of Women Breaking Ground in Alaska's Oil and Gas Industry【電子書籍】[ Carla Williams ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Subzero temperatures, whiteout blizzards, and even the lack of restrooms didn’t deter them. Nor did sneers, harassment, and threats. <em>Wildcat Women</em> is the first book to document the life and labor of pioneering women in the oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope. It profiles fourteen women who worked in the fields, telling a little-known history of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. These trailblazers conquered their fears to face hazardous working and living conditions, performing and excelling at “a man’s job in a man’s world.” They faced down challenges on and off the job: they drove buses over ice roads through snowstorms; wrestled with massive pipes; and operated dangerous valves that put their lives literally in their hands; they also fought union hall red tape, challenged discriminatory practices, and fought for equal payーand sometimes won. The women talk about the roads that brought them to this unusual career, where they often gave up comfort and convenience and felt isolated and alienated. They also tell of the lifelong friendships and sense of family that bonded these unlikely wildcats. The physical and emotional hardship detailed in these stories exemplifies their courage, tenacity, resilience, and leadership, and shows how their fight for recognition and respect benefited woman workers everywhere.</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。 2,316円

Oil and National Identity in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq Conflicts at the Frontier of Petro-Capitalism【電子書籍】[ Alessandro Tinti ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Examining the interplay between the oil economy and identity politics using the Kurdistan Region of Iraq as a case study, this book tells the untold story of how extractivism in the Kurdish autonomous region is interwoven in a mosaic of territorial disputes, simmering ethnic tensions, dynastic rule, party allegiances, crony patronage, and divergent visions about nature.</p> <p>Since the ousting of Saddam Hussein, the de-facto borders of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq have repeatedly changed, with energy interests playing a major role in such processes of territorialisation. However, relatively little research exists on the topic. This book provides a timely, empirical analysis of the intersections between extractive industries, oil imaginaries, and identity formation in one of the most coveted energy frontiers worldwide. It shines a light on relations between the global production networks of petro-capitalism and extractive localities. Besides the strained federal relationship with the Iraqi central government, the transformative effects the petroleum industry has had on Kurdish society are also explored in depth. Moreover, the book fills a gap in the literature on Kurdish Studies, which has devoted scant attention to energy-related issues in the re-imagination of Kurdish self-determination.</p> <p>This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the extractive industries, energy studies, conflict studies, Middle Eastern politics, and political ecology.</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。 9,028円

Plant, Soil and Microbes in Tropical Ecosystems【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book describes the multitude of interactions between plant, soil, and micro-organisms. It emphasizes on how growth and development in plants, starting from seed germination, is heavily influenced by the soil type. It describes the interactions established by plants with soil and inhabitant microbial community. The chapters describe how plants selectively promote certain microorganisms in the rhizospheric ecozone to derive multifarious benefits such as nutrient acquisition and protection from diseases. The diversity of these rhizospheric microbes and their interactions with plants largely depend on plant genotype, soils attributes, and several abiotic and biotic factors.</p> <p>Most of the studies concerned with plant?microbe interaction are focused on temperate regions, even though the tropical ecosystems are more diverse and need more attention. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how soil type and climatic conditions influence the plant?soil?microbes interaction inthe tropics. Considering the significance of the subject, the present volume is designed to cover the most relevant aspects of rhizospheric microbial interactions in tropical ecosystems.</p> <p>Chapters include aspects related to the diversity of rhizospheric microbes, as well as modern tools and techniques to assess the rhizospheric microbiomes and their functional roles. The book also covers applications of rhizospheric microbes and evaluation of prospects improving agricultural practice and productivity through the use of microbiome technologies.</p> <p>This book will be extremely interesting to microbiologists, plant biologists, and ecologists.</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。 21,878円

Beyond Oil and Gas The Methanol Economy【電子書籍】[ George A. Olah ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The world is currently consuming about 85 million barrels of oil a day, and about two-thirds as much natural gas equivalent, both derived from non-renewable natural sources. In the foreseeable future, our energy needs will come from any available alternate source. Methanol is one such viable alternative, and also offers a convenient solution for efficient energy storage on a large scale.</p> <p>In this updated and enlarged edition, renowned chemists discuss in a clear and readily accessible manner the pros and cons of humankind's current main energy sources, while providing new ways to overcome obstacles.</p> <p>Following an introduction, the authors look at the interrelationship of fuels and energy, and at the extent of our non-renewable fossil fuels. They also discuss the hydrogen economy and its significant shortcomings. The main focus is on the conversion of CO2 from industrial as well as natural sources into liquid methanol and related DME, a diesel fuel substitute that can replace LNG and LPG. The book is rounded off with an optimistic look at future possibilities.</p> <p>A forward-looking and inspiring work that vividly illustrates potential solutions to our energy and environmental problems.</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。 4,063円

The Soil and Health A Study of Organic Agriculture【電子書籍】[ Albert Howard ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>During his years as a scientist working for the British government in India, Sir Albert Howard conceived of and refined the principles of organic agriculture. Howard's The Soil and Health became a seminal and inspirational text in the organic movement soon after its publication in 1945. The Soil and Health argues that industrial agriculture, emergent in Howard's era and dominant today, disrupts the delicate balance of nature and irrevocably robs the soil of its fertility. Howard's classic treatise links the burgeoning health crises facing crops, livestock, and humanity to this radical degradation of the Earth's soil. His messageーthat we must respect and restore the health of the soil for the benefit of future generationsーstill resonates among those who are concerned about the effects of chemically enhanced agriculture.</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。 3,870円

Gaslighted How the Oil and Gas Industry Shortchanges Women Scientists【電子書籍】[ Christine L. Williams ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The oil and gas industry is one of the richest and most powerful industries in the world. In recent years, company avowals in support of diversity, much-touted programs for "women in STEM," and, most importantly, a tight labor market with near parity in women pursuing geoscience credentials might lead us to expect progress for women in this industry's corporate ranks. Yet, for all the talk of "the great crew change," the industry remains overwhelmingly white and male. Sociologist Christine L. Williams asks, where are the women?</p> <p>To answer this question, Williams embarked on a decade-long investigationーone involving one hundred in-depth interviews, a longitudinal survey, and ethnographic researchーthat allowed her to observe the industry in times of boom and bust. She found that when the industry expands, women may be able to walk through the door, but when the industry contracts, the door becomes a revolving one, whirling ever faster, as companies retreat to their white male core. These gendered outcomes are obscured by firms' stated commitments to diversity in hiring and the language of merit. The result is organizational gaslighting, a radical dissonance between language and practice that Williams exposes for all.</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。 3,830円

Oil and the political economy in the Middle East Post-2014 adjustment policies of the Arab Gulf and beyond【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The downhill slide in the global price of crude oil, which started mid-2014, had major repercussions across the Middle East for net oil exporters, as well as importers closely connected to the oil-producing countries from the Gulf. Following the Arab uprisings of 2010 and 2011, the oil price decline represented a second major shock for the region in the early twenty-first century ? one that has continued to impose constraints, but also provided opportunities. Offering the first comprehensive analysis of the Middle Eastern political economy in response to the 2014 oil price decline, this book connects oil market dynamics with an understanding of socio-political changes.</p> <p>Inspired by rentierism, the contributors present original studies on Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The studies reveal a large diversity of country-specific policy adjustment strategies: from the migrant workers in the Arab Gulf, who lost out in the post-2014 period but were incapable of repelling burdensome adjustment policies, to Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, who have never been able to fulfil the expectation that they could benefit from the 2014 oil price decline.</p> <p>With timely contributions on the COVID-19-induced oil price crash in 2020, this collection signifies that rentierism still prevails with regard to both empirical dynamics in the Middle East and academic discussions on its political economy.</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。 16,767円

Subsea Valves and Actuators for the Oil and Gas Industry【電子書籍】[ Karan Sotoodeh ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Piping and valve engineers rely on common industrial standards for selecting and maintaining valves, but these standards are not specific to the subsea oil and gas industry. Subsea Valves and Actuators for the Oil and Gas Industry delivers a needed reference to go beyond the standard to specify how to select, test, and maintain the right subsea oil and gas valve for the project. Each chapter focuses on a specific type of valve with a built-in structured table on valve selection, helping guide the engineer to the most efficient valve.

Desert Kingdom How Oil and Water Forged Modern Saudi Arabia【電子書籍】[ Toby Craig Jones ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Oil and water, and the science and technology used to harness them, have long been at the heart of political authority in Saudi Arabia. Oil’s abundance, and the fantastic wealth it generated, has been a keystone in the political primacy of the kingdom’s ruling family. The other bedrock element was water, whose importance was measured by its dearth. Over much of the twentieth century, it was through efforts to control and manage oil and water that the modern state of Saudi Arabia emerged.</p> <p>The central government’s power over water, space, and people expanded steadily over time, enabled by increasing oil revenues. The operations of the Arabian American Oil Company proved critical to expansion and to achieving power over the environment. Political authority in Saudi Arabia took shape through global networks of oil, science, and expertise. And, where oil and water were central to the forging of Saudi authoritarianism, they were also instrumental in shaping politics on the ground. Nowhere was the impact more profound than in the oil-rich Eastern Province, where the politics of oil and water led to a yearning for national belonging and to calls for revolution.</p> <p>Saudi Arabia is traditionally viewed through the lenses of Islam, tribe, and the economics of oil. <em>Desert Kingdom</em> now provides an alternative history of environmental power and the making of the modern Saudi state. It demonstrates how vital the exploitation of nature and the roles of science and global experts were to the consolidation of political authority in the desert.</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。 6,839円

E poi la notte【電子書籍】[ Paolo Carpi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Protagonista apparente di questa silloge ? il disagio dell’uomo consapevole del proprio destino, incapace di ottenere una risposta razionale al perch? della propria esistenza e di trovare un senso all’ineluttabilit? della propria sorte. L’autore scrive i propri versi al presente, ben sapendo che l’uomo si interroga nell’istante della netta percezione del proprio stato transitorio. E sempre nel presente avviene ci? che il suo spirito vive, nell’angoscioso tentativo di superare il limite imposto dalla consapevolezza cosciente della propria fine. Non esiste un finale: l’esistenza di ognuno dovr? inesorabilmente compiersi, e soltanto allora avverr? il rilascio da quell’incompiuto che sta dentro la nostra vita. L’uomo, creatura cosciente, ? cos? condannato a non sapere nulla da s? stesso e da nessun altro, n? tantomeno dai fenomeni generati dalle proprie paure: deve fermarsi all’apparenza e accontentarsi. L’incontro lo fa con ci? che appare, non con l’essenza definibile anche come “idea” o “concetto immortale”, immune al suo tragico divenire.</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。 878円

And plans to turn a majestic Hebridean mountain into a superquarry were overturned after McIntosh persuaded a Native American warrior chief to visit the Isle of Harris and testify at the government inquiry.</p> <p>This extraordinary book weaves together theology, mythology, economics, ecology, history, poetics and politics as the author journeys towards a radical new philosophy of community, spirit and place. His daring and imaginative responses to the destruction of the natural world make Soil and Soul an uplifting, inspirational and often richly humorous read.</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。 1,242円

Cannabis: High CBD Hemp, Hemp Essential Oil and Hemp Seed Oil The Cannabis Medicines of Aromatherapy's Own Medical Marijuana【電子書籍】[ Elizabeth Ashley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The discovery of a previously unknown endocrine system in the 1990s was to change the face of human biology for ever. Science finally had answers as to why tumours grow, hormones attack the body and some people’s pain levels are off the scale. The ramifications of manipulating such a system were vast, illnesses like epilepsy, autism and cancer could become a thing of the past.</p> <p>Its revelation shocked physicians across the globe, as this medical marvel adapted and conformed under the direction of one of nature’s most ancient medicines. Named after the plant that mimics, locks to, and controls it, the endocannabinoid system heals at a ferocious speed under the influence of hemp.</p> <p>Man has used cannabis as a means of survival since prehistory. Cultivated for seed and textile, it formed the very origins of civilisation. Through time, evidence shows it playing a vital part of how our ancestors communed with their gods. Psychoactive properties of THC, now not only connect the smoker with universal consciousness but treat the effects of nausea and pain from chemotherapy too.</p> <p>In 2009, cannabis medicine underwent a radical change. Isolating the non-psychoactive component cannabidiol, breeders created a medicine, that in test tubes kills cancer cells, but doesn’t alter the perception of reality. Startlingly, for a plant with such an intimate associate with psychosis, it even prevents schizophrenic dissociation. It enables veterans of PTSD to forget, eradicates epileptic fits and draws people on the autistic spectrum out of their isolated worlds and into ours.</p> <p>Best-selling essential oil researcher Elizabeth Ashley has carefully untangled the threads of cannabis knowledge to find the truth about high CBD hemp oil, hemp essential oil and hemp seed oil.
