  • The Power Surge

    Energy, Opportunity, and the Battle for America's Future

    by Michael Levi ...
    The United States is in the throes of two unfolding energy revolutions, and partisans--convinced that only their side holds the key to American prosperity, security, and safety--are battling over which one should prevail. In The Power Surge, Michael Levi takes readers inside these revolutions. He shows how oil and gas production, after decades in decline, are being propelled upward by new ... Read more

  • The Limits to Growth Revisited

    by Ugo Bardi ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    “The Limits to Growth” (Meadows, 1972) generated unprecedented controversy with its predictions of the eventual collapse of the world's economies. First hailed as a great advance in science, “The Limits to Growth” was subsequently rejected and demonized. However, with many national economies now at risk and global peak oil apparently a reality, the methods, scenarios, and predictions of “The ... Read more

  • Energy in Australia

    Peak Oil, Solar Power, and Asia’s Economic Growth

    by Graham Palmer ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    With rapidly declining costs and seemingly unlimited sunshine, the choice of solar in Australia seems obvious. Yet despite its many advantages, homes with solar remain completely dependent on the electricity grid for reliable supply, which in Australia implies mostly coal-fired generation. Indeed, even countries that have invested heavily in solar, such as Spain and Germany, have been unable to ... Read more

  • Energy and the Wealth of Nations

    Understanding the Biophysical Economy

    by Charles A. S. Hall, Kent A. Klitgaard ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    For the past 150 years, economics has been treated as a social science in which economies are modeled as a circular flow of income between producers and consumers. In this “perpetual motion” of interactions between firms that produce and households that consume, little or no accounting is given of the flow of energy and materials from the environment and back again. In the standard economic model, ... Read more

  • Handbook of Networks in Power Systems I

    Edited by Alexey Sorokin, Steffen Rebennack, Panos M. Pardalos, Niko A. Iliadis, Mario V. F. Pereira ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Energy has been an inevitable component of human lives for decades. Recent rapid developments in the area require analyzing energy systems not as independent components but rather as connected interdependent networks. The Handbook of Networks in Power Systems includes the state-of-the-art developments that occurred in the power systems networks, in particular gas, electricity, liquid fuels, ... Read more

  • Smart Markets for Water Resources

    A Manual for Implementation

    by Mark W. Milke, John F. Raffensperger ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Why is trade in wholesale water so rare, when markets can actively trade bread, tractors, and electricity? This book shows that water markets fail because of high transaction costs, resulting in inefficient allocations and unpredictable environmental effects. To overcome these obstacles, this book proposes a trading mechanism called a smart market. A smart market is an auction cleared with ... Read more

  • Preparing for Peak Oil in South Africa

    An Integrated Case Study

    by Jeremy J. Wakeford ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Oil is the lifeblood of modern industrial economies. Petroleum powers virtually all motorized transport, which in turn enables most economic activities and provides mobility for citizens. But oil is a finite resource that is steadily depleting. In the past decade, the phenomenon of global peak oil – the fact that annual world oil production must at some point reach a maximum and then decline – has ... Read more

  • Demography and Infrastructure

    National and Regional Aspects of Demographic Change

    Edited by Tobias Kronenberg, Wilhelm Kuckshinrichs ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Population ageing has been going on for many decades, but population shrinking is a rather new phenomenon. The population of Germany, as in many other countries, has passed a plateau and is currently shrinking. Demographic change is a challenge for infrastructure planning due to the longevity of infrastructure capital and the need to match supply and demand in order to ensure cost-efficiency. This ...
