A Blueprint For Achieving Net-Zero CO2 Emissions The Difficult Road for the US to Achieve Net-Zero CO2 Emissions by 2050【電子書籍】[ Robert Prince ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The author proposes a "workable" pathway for the US to achieve net zero CO2 emissions from the transportation and electrical power sectors of the US by 2050. The intent is to describe in straightforward terms what it will take to achieve such a goal. Providing basic background information on the measures necessary to transition from a fossil-fuel-based power source to one based on renewables will provide the reader insight to the enormity of this goal.</p> <p>The author attempts to outline the major hurdles facing the US in reducing CO2 emissions. Hurdles to achieving this goal are clearly presented to allow readers to put into perspective what this transition entails and the significant obstacles that must be overcome to achieve net zero. The book highlights the difficulty of this task and clearly states that achieving net zero for the US by 2050 is highly unlikely.</p> <p>The author then applies the same logic on a limited scale to describe the difficulty of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions on a worldwide basis. Applying the same logic used for the US analysis with regard to the retirement of coal-fired and natural gas-fired electrical generation capacity demonstrates the difficult path the world faces regarding climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions. The book concludes with a bleak scenario of what the world faces with regard to climate change.</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。

The Emotional Lives of Animals (revised) A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy ー and Why They Matter【電子書籍】[ Marc Bekoff ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A seminal exploration of animal emotion, sentience, and cognition, revised and expanded to incorporate a surge of new science</strong></p> <p>When award-winning scientist Marc Bekoff penned the first edition of this book in 2007, he predicted that over time our understanding of animal cognition and emotion would grow “richer, more accurate, and possibly different.” Since then, not only has the field seen an explosion of new and startling research, but the popular interest in the subject has grown as well, spawning countless podcasts, articles, and bestselling books.</p> <p>Bekoff skillfully blends extraordinary stories of animal joy, empathy, grief, embarrassment, anger, and love with the latest scientific research confirming the existence of emotions that common sense and experience have long implied. Filled with light humor and compassion, <em>The Emotional Lives of Animals</em> is a clarion call for reassessing both how we view and how we treat animals.</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。

Navigating International Order Transition in the Indo-Pacific【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book examines how major powers in the Indo-Pacific region cope with and respond to the potential order transition against the background of the strategic competition between the US and China.<br /> The world is in a crisis and the liberal international order is at stake with the Covid pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war indicating a possible order transition in the international system. The Indo Pacific region has become the focal point of intense competition between the United States and China. Against this backdrop, the chapters in this volume explore how policy elites in the area have attempted to address the potential order transition, and how different states - including great and middle powers - have been employing various strategies to deal with the security and economic challenges in the region. The complexity of the international order has made this order transition particularly challenging, making it a difficult time for both state leaders and scholars alike. It is the best of times, and it is the worst of times.<br /> This book provides an academic platform for graduate students, scholars and policy experts to approach this topic from different theoretical and national perspectives. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of <em>The Pacific Review.</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。

The Barbary Plague The Black Death in Victorian San Francisco【電子書籍】[ Marilyn Chase ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>“San Francisco in 1900 was a Gold Rush boomtown settling into a gaudy middle age. . . . It had a pompous new skyline with skyscrapers nearly twenty stories tall, grand hotels, and Victorian mansions on Nob Hill. . . . The wharf bristled with masts and smokestacks from as many as a thousand sailing ships and steamers arriving each year. . . . But the harbor would not be safe for long. Across the Pacific came an unexpected import, bubonic plague. Sailing from China and Hawaii into the unbridged arms of the Golden Gate, it arrived aboard vessels bearing rich cargoes, hopeful immigrants, and infected vermin. The rats slipped out of their shadowy holds, scuttled down the rigging, and alighted on the wharf. Uphill they scurried, insinuating themselves into the heart of the city.”</em></p> <p>The plague first sailed into San Francisco on the steamer Australia, on the day after New Year’s in 1900. Though the ship passed inspection, some of her stowawaysーinfected ratsーescaped detection and made their way into the city’s sewer system. Two months later, the first human case of bubonic plague surfaced in Chinatown.</p> <p>Initially in charge of the government’s response was Quarantine Officer Dr. Joseph Kinyoun. An intellectually astute but autocratic scientist, Kinyoun lacked the diplomatic skill to manage the public health crisis successfully. He correctly diagnosed the plague, but because of his quarantine efforts, he was branded an alarmist and a racist, and was forced from his post. When a second epidemic erupted five years later, the more self-possessed and charming Dr. Rupert Blue was placed in command. He won the trust of San Franciscans by shifting the government’s attack on the plague from the cool remove of the laboratory onto the streets, among the people it affected. Blue preached sanitation to contain the disease, but it was only when he focused his attack on the newly discovered source of the plague, infected rats and their fleas, that he finally eradicated itーtruly one of the great, if little known, triumphs in American public health history.</p> <p>With stunning narrative immediacy fortified by rich research, Marilyn Chase transports us to the city during the late Victorian ageーa roiling melting pot of races and cultures that, nearly destroyed by an earthquake, was reborn, thanks in no small part to Rupert Blue and his motley band of pied pipers.</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。

Dynamic Embodiment? of the Sun Salutation Pathways to Balancing the Chakras and the Neuroendocrine System【電子書籍】[ Martha Eddy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Dynamic Embodiment of the Sun Salutation?: Pathways to Balancing the Chakras and the Neuroendocrine System guides you to do the Sun Salutation with more ease by integrating awareness of glandular and chakral embodiment cues and neuro-developmental movement. Everything in this book can be applied to your personal practice and overall health, or to teaching others. It offers a soft, organic yet powerful approach to being in the poses and transitioning between them. What you will learn is effective and surprising. There is tangible mystery in accessing this ability, which we all have, to embody the endocrine system and the related energy fields.</p> <p>By working with the endocrine system and their correlations with the chakras we are grounding the subtle within the physical body. Learn about the dynamic combination of the specific electrical and systemic circulatory nature of the neuroendocrine system. Discover how the anatomical placement of the glands and the spatial tensions (or tensegrity) surrounding them are the natural bridge to activating the energy needed for a fulfilling life.</p> <p>One access route to these dynamic stimuli is through Body Mind Centering's developmental approach, conveyed through the lens of Dynamic Embodiment by BMC? Master teacher Dr Martha Eddy. This approach includes an understanding of careful skeletal positioning, brain-activating movement and hormonal balancing as well as integrating broader social somatic contexts such as the impact of lifestyle, cultural and intergenerational influences. In an age when, most likely, at least one person you know is struggling with thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive glandular imbalance, this book will provide information on the physical, emotional and spiritual impact of attuning with the glands and early childhood development imprints while practising the Sun Salutation. It includes clues for what to do when yoga or endocrine work brings on chaos - from trauma triggers, kundalini overwhelm, to basic life confusion. It gives you the tools to help ground yourself and others, and to take centered action in a dynamic world.</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。

The Other Pandemic How QAnon Contaminated the World【電子書籍】[ James Ball ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist James Ball takes us into the depths of the internet to trace the origins and rapid ascent of QAnon, the movement that mutated from a niche online conspiracy theory into the world's first digital pandemic.</strong></p> <p>Imagine a deadly pathogen that, once created, could infect any person in any part of the globe within seconds. No need to wait for travellers, trains, or air traffic to spread it, all you need is an internet connection. In this gripping investigation, Pulitzer Prize winner James Ball decodes the cryptic language of the online right and with a surgeon's precision tracks the spread of QAnon, the world's first digital pandemic.</p> <p>QAnon began as an internet community dedicated to supporting President Trump and intent on outing a global cabal of human traffickers. A short, cryptic message posted by an anonymous user to a niche internet forum in 2017 was the spark that ignited a global movement. What started as a macabre game of virtual make-believe quickly spiralled into the spread of virulently hateful, dangerous messaging ? which turned into tragic, violent actions.</p> <p>Incoherent, chaotic, free from agendas: QAnon is a one-size-fits all cult conspiracy. From a standoff at the Hoover Dam, to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on 6 January 2021, to protesting COVID-19 lockdowns, this digital pandemic has spread globally and shows no signs of stopping. In <em>The Other Pandemic</em> Ball takes us into the niche pathways through which these digital pathogens spread, mutate and infect people all across the globe ? but he also argues that the prognosis doesn't have to be dire. He shows us that it is possible to treat and cure this virus in order to build up our digital immune systems, and be better prepared to survive the next wave.</p> <p><strong>*A <em>Financial Times</em> Book to Read in 2023*</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。

<p><strong><em>Financial Times</em> Book of the Year</strong><br /> <strong><em>Telegraph</em> Top 50 Books of the Year</strong><br /> <strong><em>Guardian</em> Book of the Year</strong><br /> <strong><em>New Statesman</em> Book of the Year</strong></p> <p><strong>‘Roundly debunks racism’s core lie ? that inequality is to do with genetics, rather than political power’ Reni Eddo-Lodge</strong></p> <p><strong>For millennia, dominant societies have had the habit of believing their own people to be the best, deep down: the more powerful they become, the more power begins to be framed as natural, as well as cultural. When you see how power has shaped the idea of race, then you can start to understand its meaning.</strong></p> <p>In the twenty-first century, we like to believe that we have moved beyond scientific racism, that most people accept race as a social construct, not a biological one. But race science is experiencing a revival, fuelled by the misuse of science by certain political groups.</p> <p>Even well-intentioned scientists, through their use of racial categories in genetics and medicine, betray their suspicion that race has some basis in biology.</p> <p>In truth, it is no more real than it was hundreds of years ago, when our racial hierarchies were devised by those in power.</p> <p>In <em>Superior</em>, award-winning author Angela Saini explores the concept of race, from its origins to the present day. Engaging with geneticists, anthropologists, historians and social scientists from across the globe, <em>Superior</em> is a rigorous, much needed examination of the insidious and destructive nature of race science.</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。

Kerberos: The Definitive Guide The Definitive Guide【電子書籍】[ Jason Garman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Kerberos, the single sign-on authentication system originally developed at MIT, deserves its name. It's a faithful watchdog that keeps intruders out of your networks. But it has been equally fierce to system administrators, for whom the complexity of Kerberos is legendary.Single sign-on is the holy grail of network administration, and Kerberos is the only game in town. Microsoft, by integrating Kerberos into Active Directory in Windows 2000 and 2003, has extended the reach of Kerberos to all networks large or small. Kerberos makes your network more secure and more convenient for users by providing a single authentication system that works across the entire network. One username; one password; one login is all you need.Fortunately, help for administrators is on the way. <em>Kerberos: The Definitive Guide</em> shows you how to implement Kerberos for secure authentication. In addition to covering the basic principles behind cryptographic authentication, it covers everything from basic installation to advanced topics like cross-realm authentication, defending against attacks on Kerberos, and troubleshooting.In addition to covering Microsoft's Active Directory implementation, <em>Kerberos: The Definitive Guide</em> covers both major implementations of Kerberos for Unix and Linux: MIT and Heimdal. It shows you how to set up Mac OS X as a Kerberos client. The book also covers both versions of the Kerberos protocol that are still in use: Kerberos 4 (now obsolete) and Kerberos 5, paying special attention to the integration between the different protocols, and between Unix and Windows implementations.If you've been avoiding Kerberos because it's confusing and poorly documented, it's time to get on board! This book shows you how to put Kerberos authentication to work on your Windows and Unix systems.</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。

A Molecule Away from Madness: Tales of the Hijacked Brain【電子書籍】[ Sara Manning Peskin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Riveting stories of the brain on the brink, from an acclaimed cognitive neurologist.</strong></p> <p>Our brains are the most complex machines known to humankind, but they have an Achilles heel: the very molecules that allow us to exist can also sabotage our minds. Here are gripping accounts of unruly molecules and the diseases that form in their wake.</p> <p>A college student cannot remember if she has eaten breakfast. By dinner, she is strapped to a hospital bed, convinced she is battling zombies. A man planning to propose marriage instead becomes violently enraged, gripped by body spasms so severe that he nearly bites off his own tongue. One after another, poor farmers in South Carolina drop dead from a mysterious epidemic of dementia.</p> <p>With an intoxicating blend of history and intrigue, Sara Manning Peskin invites readers to play medical detective, tracing each diagnosis from the patient to an ailing nervous system. Along the way, Peskin entertains with tales of the sometimes outlandish, often criticized, and forever devoted scientists who discovered it all.</p> <p>Peskin never loses sight of the human impact of these conditions. Alzheimer’s Disease is more than the gradual loss of a loved one; it can be a family’s multigenerational curse. The proteins that abound in every cell of our bodies are not simply strings of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon; they are the building blocks of our personalities and relationships. <em>A Molecule Away from Madness</em> is an unputdownable journey into the deepest mysteries of our brains.</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。

Falter Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?【電子書籍】[ Bill McKibben ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Thirty years ago Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about climate change. Now he broadens the warning: the entire human game, he suggests, has begun to play itself out.</strong></p> <p>Bill McKibben’s groundbreaking book <em>The End of Nature --</em> issued in dozens of languages and long regarded as a classic -- was the first book to alert us to global warming. But the danger is broader than that: even as climate change shrinks the space where our civilization can exist, new technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics threaten to bleach away the variety of human experience.</p> <p><em>Falter</em> tells the story of these converging trends and of the ideological fervor that keeps us from bringing them under control. And then, drawing on McKibben’s experience in building 350.org, the first truly global citizens movement to combat climate change, it offers some possible ways out of the trap. We’re at a bleak moment in human history -- and we’ll either confront that bleakness or watch the civilization our forebears built slip away.</p> <p><em>Falter</em> is a powerful and sobering call to arms, to save not only our planet but also our humanity.</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。

The Monkey's Voyage How Improbable Journeys Shaped the History of Life【電子書籍】[ Alan de Queiroz ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Throughout the world, closely related species are found on landmasses separated by wide stretches of ocean. What explains these far-flung distributions? Why are such species found where they are across the Earth?</p> <p>Since the discovery of plate tectonics, scientists have conjectured that plants and animals were scattered over the globe by riding pieces of ancient supercontinents as they broke up. In the past decade, however, that theory has foundered, as the genomic revolution has made reams of new data available. And the data has revealed an extraordinary, stranger-than-fiction story that has sparked a scientific upheaval.</p> <p>In <em>The Monkey's Voyage</em>, biologist Alan de Queiroz describes the radical new view of how fragmented distributions came into being: frogs and mammals rode on rafts and icebergs, tiny spiders drifted on storm winds, and plant seeds were carried in the plumage of sea-going birds to create the map of life we see today. In other words, these organisms were not simply constrained by continental fate; they were the makers of their own geographic destiny. And as de Queiroz shows, the effects of oceanic dispersal have been crucial in generating the diversity of life on Earth, from monkeys and guinea pigs in South America to beech trees and kiwi birds in New Zealand. By toppling the idea that the slow process of continental drift is the main force behind the odd distributions of organisms, this theory highlights the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the history of life.</p> <p>In the tradition of John McPhee's <em>Basin and Range</em>, <em>The Monkey's Voyage</em> is a beautifully told narrative that strikingly reveals the importance of contingency in history and the nature of scientific discovery.</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。

<p>Why was there a meltdown at the Fukushima power plant? Why do some people get cancer and not others? Why is global warming happening? Why does one person get depressed in the face of life's vicissitudes while another finds resilience?</p> <p>Questions like theseーquestions of causalityーform the basis of modern scientific inquiry, posing profound intellectual and methodological challenges for researchers in the physical, natural, biomedical, and social sciences. In this groundbreaking book, noted psychiatrist and author Peter Rabins offers a conceptual framework for analyzing daunting questions of causality. Navigating a lively intellectual voyage between the shoals of strict reductionism and relativism, Rabins maps a three-facet model of causality and applies it to a variety of questions in science, medicine, economics, and more.</p> <p>Throughout this book, Rabins situates his argument within relevant scientific contexts, such as quantum mechanics, cybernetics, chaos theory, and epigenetics. A renowned communicator of complex concepts and scientific ideas, Rabins helps readers stretch their minds beyond the realm of popular literary tipping points, blinks, and freakonomic explanations of the world.</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。

His clear, didactic style invites readers into the intricate world of celestial observation, enriched by vivid descriptions and detailed instructions. This work, situated in the early 19th century, not only reflects the burgeoning interest in empirical science but also emphasizes the importance of observational skills in understanding the universe, making it a significant text in the popularization of astronomy during this era. Thomas Dick, a Scottish astronomer and mathematician, was deeply influenced by the Enlightenment'??s emphasis on reason and empirical knowledge. His academic background informed his belief in the importance of making science accessible to all, rather than a privilege reserved for the elite. It was this philosophy that inspired him to write works like "The Practical Astronomer," which encapsulate a democratic vision of knowledge, enabling readers from various backgrounds to engage with the cosmos. I highly recommend "The Practical Astronomer" to anyone with an interest in the stars, from novices to seasoned enthusiasts. Dick'??s ability to blend scientific rigor with practical instruction makes this book an invaluable resource for understanding the night sky. Engaging with this text not only enriches one's appreciation of astronomy but also encourages a lifelong quest for knowledge.</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。

The Factors of Organic Evolution Unraveling the Intricate Mechanisms of Evolutionary Development and Adaptation【電子書籍】[ Herbert Spencer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Herbert Spencer's "The Factors of Organic Evolution" presents a pioneering exploration of evolutionary theory within the framework of a philosophical perspective. In this seminal work, Spencer articulates the interplay between the laws of nature and the principles of biological evolution, emphasizing the significance of heredity, variation, and the struggle for existence. His literary style is both analytical and philosophical, enriched by the scientific discourse of the late 19th century, allowing the reader to engage with complex ideas through clear prose. This book serves as a critical bridge between pre-Darwinian thoughts and the emergent evolutionary principles that would shape biological sciences. As a prominent figure in the Victorian era, Spencer was influenced by contemporary scientific advancements as well as philosophical ideologies, particularly those surrounding social Darwinism. His background in natural sciences and sociology informed his belief that evolutionary principles could explain not only biological phenomena but also social progress. This dual lens of inquiry reveals his ambition to synthesize diverse intellectual traditions, positioning him as a forerunner in both sociology and biology. Readers interested in the foundations of evolutionary thought and its implications for understanding both the natural world and human society will find "The Factors of Organic Evolution" essential. Spencer's insights remain highly relevant, prompting thoughtful reflection on the intersection of science, philosophy, and the evolution of both life and ideas.</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。

The Vital Shoulder Complex An Illustrated Guide to Assessment, Treatment, and Rehabilitation【電子書籍】[ John Gibbons ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A comprehensive guide to understanding the complexities of the shoulder and treating shoulder injury and pain</strong></p> <p>The area of the body we commonly refer to as "the shoulder" is in fact <em>a complex</em> of interconnected systems--bones, tendons, muscle, and joints that together work to move our arms, hands, and fingers. Because the shoulder must trade stability for mobility, it is also one of the weakest joints of the body, which explains why it is one of the most common areas of physical pain; injury located in the shoulder can affect areas throughout the entire body. <em>The Vital Shoulder Complex</em> is designed for anyone interested in understanding, treating, and healing shoulder-related pain. Author and renowned bodyworker John Gibbons explains and illustrates the dynamics of the shoulder complex in ways that are accessible and enlightening. The theory and principles described in this book can assist physical therapists in formulating effective treatment protocols towards quick rehabilitation for their patients. These include:</p> <p>Differential diagnosis of shoulder pathology</p> <p>The relationship of the pelvis, the SI joint, and the gluteals to the shoulder complex</p> <p>Pathologies of the shoulder and cervical spine</p> <p>Special tests associated with the shoulder complex</p> <p>Rehabilitation and exercise protocols for the shoulder complex</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。
