Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence

Product Description

"Energy independence" might sound appealing, but as veteran energy reporter Robert Bryce shows in this smart and surprising book, it's neither achievable nor desirable.For more than three decades, politicians have been promising to make America energy independent, a self-sufficient. They reason that energy independence will mean a thriving economy, a positive balance of trade and a stronger, better country.Except it won't. Despite the rhetoric, which is coming from both Democrats and Republicans as well as from tree-hugging greens and war-mongering neo-cons, energy independence is neither doable nor desirable. In "Gusher of Lies", leading authority Robert Bryce debunks the idea that the US can free itself from foreign energy and why it will be importing oil, natural gas, coal, gasoline, uranium and other energy commodities for decades to come.This book exposes the ethanol scam for what it is: one of the longest-running robberies of taxpayers in US history. From nearly any standpoint - subsidies, food prices, air quality, water use or greenhouse gas emissions - ethanol is a losing proposition.The booming economy, combined with increasing energy demand from China, India and other developing countries, combined with increasing concern about the need to reduce C02 emission, have made the world ever more interdependent. "A Gusher of Lies" shows why America must drop the rhetoric of energy independence and embrace interdependence.

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2010 | ISBN-10: 1585623679 | ISBN-13: 978-1585623679 | Edition: 1

Psychiatric drugs are frequently used in the medically ill and are prescribed to nearly three-quarters of medically ill patients seen in psychiatric consultation. Primary care and other nonpsychiatric physicians account for more than one-half of prescriptions written for psychiatric drugs, typically to patients with complex medical illnesses. Appropriate use of psychopharmacology in the medically ill requires careful consideration of the underlying disease process and the potential for multiple complex interactions. Clinical Manual of Psychopharmacology in the Medically Ill is a comprehensive yet practical guide to psychotropic prescribing for patients who are medically ill. Both basic and more specialized knowledge is covered, from fundamental principles of psychotropic prescribing to disease- and organ system specific issues. Designed to be useful to a broad range of specialists, this manual will equip clinicians with the detailed and directly relevant information they need to provide safe and effective psychopharmacological treatment for their patients with medical illness.

Regenerative Dentistry (Synthesis Lectures on Tissue Engineering)

 

 

 

Description:

Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Dental caries, periodontitis, tooth loss, and bone resorption are considered prevalent health problems that have direct affect on the quality of life. While, advances in stem cell biology and biotechnology have sparked hope for devastating maladies, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases {ldots}, etc., it also provides a strategy of regenerative therapy for dental tissues. From the prospective of tissue engineering, it is of utmost importance to understand and emulate the complex cell interactions that make up a tissue or organ. Unlike other tissues in the body, dental tissues are unique in their development, function, and even in their maintenance throughout life. The harmonized stimulations of biology and mechanical regulators to promote cellular activities have matured our understanding of the value of regenerative therapy of dental tissue versus the reparative treatment. In this book, we review the current knowledge available to regenerate alveolar bone, periodontal structure, and pulp/dentin complex. The book provides researchers with detailed information about development and functional characteristics of the dental unit with detailed protocols covering a comprehensive range of various approaches to engineer dental tissues: to use isolated cells or cell substitutes as cellular replacement, to use acellular biomaterials capable of inducing tissue regeneration, and/or to use a combination of cells, biomaterial and growth factors. We are well aware, with the concept changes in the field toward in-vitro biomimetics of in-vivo tissue development. The theoretical frame work integrating these concepts of developmental biology and developmental engineering is yet to be emphasized and implemented. Until this happens, we consider this book of regenerative dentistry as a call for scientists to achieve, researchers to innovate, practitioners to apply, and students to learn the art and science of regenerative therapy in dentistry. Table of Contents: Introduction to Regenerative Dentistry / Tissue Engineering Alveolar Bone / Tissue Engineering of the Periodontal Tissues / Dynamics for Pulp-Dentin Tissue Engineering in Operative Dentistry.

This book is aimed at developing elementary analysis skills, familiarity and an intuitive feel for composite construction that is required by undergraduate and graduate students, and by structural engineers. It does not require a prior knowledge of advanced analysis and design techniques, and builds on simple concepts such as statics and the mechanics of materials. A topic is first introduced by a brief description, with numerous carefully-chosen examples forming an integral part of the main text. Working through the examples allows the reader to gain a full understanding of the subject, as a technique is illustrated by its application to designing new structures, or in the important area of assessing and upgrading existing structures.

The techniques described for the analysis of standard structures form a basis for understanding the way composite structures work, and these techniques are applied to many non-standard forms of composite construction that are not, or rarely, covered in national standards. The book is an essential purchase for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of structural/civil engineering and architecture, as well as all practising structural and civil engineers.



Covers practical applications not covered in codes, such as service ducts, splitting, upgrading existing structures and non-standard forms of composite construction
Topics are embellished by working through numerous unique and carefully-chosen examples that form an integral part of the subject material
Not orientated to specific codes, so that principles can be applied to any national design standard

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0745313493 | ISBN-13: 978-0745313498

Theories of urban space have become the focus of a great deal of work by scholars in cultural geography, urban studies and critical theory. This volume contributes to that debate by analysing the relationship between theories of urban space and literary and visual representations of the city – an emergent area of confluence in literary, film and cultural studies. The contributors address themes such as visual culture and spectacle; class and capital; community and public space; and nation, diaspora and belonging. Cities covered include New York, Chicago, Jerusalem, Paris, London, Birmingham and Freetown, Sierra Leone. Artists and writers discussed include Piet Mondrian, Nella Larsen, Rudolph Fisher, Amos Oz, David Grossman, Sarah Schulman, Jonathan Larsen, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Paul Auster and Wayne Wang.
