10 Short Lessons in Time Travel
by Brian Clegg'10 Short Lessons in Time Travel lucidly sums up the essential parts of this fascinating subject.' John Gribbin________________________In Ten Short Lessons in Time Travel, Brian Clegg takes us on a fascinating and up-to-date tour of the workings of the universe that suggest the possibility of journeying back and forth through time.Einstein’s special theory of relativity told us that time travel to the future was possible, and later his general theory of relativity showed us that loops in spacetime could exist, meaning that we might be able to bend time backwards, too. But what are the practicalities of making time travel possible? What do we still need to know? How do we deal with paradoxical twists in time – and could quantum physics hold the answer? From the imagination of novelists to current research, 10 Short Lessons in Time Travel is a grand tour of the essential lessons in this game-changing area of physics.About the series: The Pocket Einstein series is a collection of essential pocket-sized guides for anyone looking to understand a little more about some of the most important and fascinating areas of science in the twenty-first century.

10 Years Plant Molecular Biology
by R. A. Schilperoort Leon DureIt is very clear nowadays that plants offer several opportunities for basic studies, e.g. on development and embryogenesis, and that the fundamental principles laid open contribute to the development of new tools for plant breeding. Within the scope of the present publication, the editors have had to make a difficult choice from the many important subjects that have contributed to the remarkable progress of our molecular biological understanding of complex biological problems. This has resulted in review papers showing the present state of the art in genetic engineering, gene expression and its manipulation, microbe and insect interactions with plants, transposable elements and gene tagging, plant and organ development, the function and structure of the genome chloroplasts, and lipid biosynthesis. All papers have been written in such a way that they are also useful for non-experts interested in a particular field, as well as for students following courses in plant molecular biology. Besides presenting the state of the art, each paper gives some historical background to the developments in the field as well as perspectives for further basic research and applications. Because of the latter, scientists and students engaged in plant breeding will also profit from this publication.
The 100 Best Astrophotography Targets: A Monthly Guide for CCD Imaging with Amateur Telescopes (The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series)
by Ruben KierAny amateur astronomer who is interested in astrophotography, particularly if just getting started, needs to know what objects are best for imaging in each month of the year. These are not necessarily the same objects that are the most spectacular or intriguing visually. The camera reveals different things and has different requirements. What objects in the sky tonight are large enough, bright enough, and high enough to be photographed? This book reveals, for each month of the year, the choicest celestial treasures within the reach of a commercial CCD camera. Helpful hints and advice on framing, exposures, and filters are included. Each deep sky object is explained in beautiful detail, so that observers will gain a richer understanding of these astronomical objects. This is not a book that dwells on the technology of CCD, Webcam, wet, or other types of astrophotography. Neither is it a book about in-depth computer processing of the images (although this topic is included). Detailed discussions of these topics can be found in other publications. This book focuses on what northern latitude objects to image at any given time of the year to get the most spectacular results.
100 Betriebe für Ressourceneffizienz: Band 2 – Praxisbeispiele und Erfolgsfaktoren
by Mario Schmidt Institute for Industrial Ecology INEC Hannes Spieth Christian Haubach Marlene Preiss Joa BauerIn weiteren 50 Unternehmensbeispielen wird vorgestellt, wie man in der Produktion Energie und Material einsparen kann. Das Projekt wurde in Baden-Württemberg mit der Unterstützung der Wirtschaftsverbände und der Landesregierung durchgeführt und ist ein Leitprojekt der Landesstrategie Ressourceneffizienz. Die Beispiele dienen gleichermaßen Mitarbeitern aus Unternehmen, Fachleuten und Hochschulangehörigen, die wissen wollen, wo man in der Praxis ansetzen kann, wenn Ressourceneffizienz umgesetzt werden soll.
100 Betriebe für Ressourceneffizienz - Band 1: Praxisbeispiele aus der produzierenden Wirtschaft
by Institute for Industrial Ecology INEC Mario Schmidt Hannes Spieth Joa Bauer Christian HaubachDas Buch stellt ca. 50 aktuelle Beispiele vor, wie in produzierenden Betrieben Energie und Materialien eingespart werden können. Sie dienen zur Anschauung, mit welchen Maßnahmen man in modernen Unternehmen noch Potenziale für Ressourceneffizienz schöpfen kann. Das Buch richtet sich an Praktiker in Betrieben und Beratungsunternehmen, ist aber auch für den Hochschulbereich als praxisnahe Einführung in das Thema Ressourceneffizienz geeignet.Die eingesetzten Materialien machen fast 43 Prozent der Kosten eines durchschnittlichen Industriebetriebs in Deutschland aus. Die Personalkosten liegen dagegen bei nur 22 Prozent, die Energiekosten sogar bei nur 2 Prozent. Wenn ein Unternehmen Kosten sparen will, so muss es vor allem den Materialeinsatz berücksichtigen und ressourceneffizient produzieren. Das entlastet gleichzeitig die Umwelt und verringert die Abhängigkeit von knappen Rohstoffen.Die Umsetzung von Ressourceneffizienz ist nicht ganz einfach. Zwar gibt es in der Produktion zahlreiche Ansatzpunkte, oftmals bei Prozessinnovationen oder in der Produktentwicklung. Jedoch veröffentlichen nur wenige Unternehmen ihre Maßnahmen und Einsparpotenziale. Damit fehlen in der Praxis oft Lernbeispiele, von denen aber einige explizit in diesem Werk aufgeführt sind.Wie man sieht, kann Ressourceneffizienz in der Produktion und bei Produkten auch als Erfolgsfaktor für viele Unternehmen betrachtet werden. In dem Projekt 100 Betriebe für Ressourceneffizienz zeigen engagierte Unternehmen aus Baden-Württemberg ihre Lösungen. Durchgeführt wurde das Projekt von einem kompetenten Team der Hochschule Pforzheim, der Universität Stuttgart und der Landesagentur Umwelttechnik BW. Unterstützt haben es führende Wirtschaftsverbände in Baden-Württemberg.

100% Clean, Renewable Energy and Storage for Everything
by null Mark Z. JacobsonNumerous laws – including the Green New Deal – have been proposed or passed in cities, states, and countries to transition from fossil fuels to 100% clean, renewable energy in order to address climate change, air pollution, and energy insecurity. This textbook lays out the science, technology, economics, policy, and social aspects of such transitions. It discusses the renewable electricity and heat generating technologies needed; the electricity, heat, cold, and hydrogen storage technologies required; how to keep the electric power grid stable; and how to address non-energy sources of emissions. It discusses the history of the 100% Movement, which evolved from a collaboration among scientists, cultural leaders, business people, and community leaders. Finally, it discusses current progress in transitioning to 100% renewables, and the new policies needed to complete the transition. Online course supplements include lecture slides, answers to the end-of-chapter student exercises, and a list of extra resources.
