Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures

Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures

As nanotechnology has developed over the last two decades some nanostructures such as nanotubes nanowires and nanoparticles have become very popular. However recent research has led to the discovery of other less-common nanoforms which often serve as building blocks for more complex structures. In an effort to organize the field the Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures presents an informal classification based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. A small nanotechnological encyclopedia this book:Describes a range of little-known nanostructuresOffers a unifying vision of the synthesis of nanostructures and the generalization of rare nanoforms Includes downloadable resources with color versions of more than 100 nanostructuresExplores the fabrication of rare nanostructures including modern physical chemical and biological synthesis techniquesThe Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures discusses a classification system not directly related to the dimensionality and chemical composition of nanostructure-forming compounds or composite. Instead it is based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. Possessing unusual shapes and high surface areas these structures are potentially very useful for catalytic medical electronic and many other applications.

The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities presents a series of ethnographic studies focusing on the local cultures of mobilities and immobilities emphasizing the everyday sense of contingency and heterogeneity that accompanies them. Compensating for the excess of theory and criticism based on the notion of 'hypermobilities' this book sheds light on the nuanced differences and idiosyncrasies of mobility with a view to rediscovering meanings and lifestyles marked by movement and immobility. Original empirical and global case studies are presented by an international team of scholars exploring the complex negotiated and contingent nature of the social worlds of movement. By avoiding sweeping generalizations on the deeply connected and readily mobile nature of society as a whole this volume sheds light on the diversity of mobility modes in an accessible and interdisciplinary form that will be of key interest to sociologists geographers and scholars of human mobility communication and culture. | The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less rewrites the book on business and the environment. For the last thirty years corporate sustainability was synonymous with the pursuit of ‘eco-efficiency’ and ‘win-win’ opportunities. The notion of ‘eco-efficiency’ gives us the illusion that we can achieve environmental sustainability without having to question the pursuit of never-ending economic growth. The ‘win-win’ paradigm is meant to assure us that companies can be protectors of the environment whilst also being profit maximizers. It is abundantly clear that the state of the natural environment has further degraded instead of improved. This book introduces a new paradigm designed to finally reconcile business and the environment. It is called ‘net green’ which means that in these times of ecological overshoot businesses need to reduce total environmental impact and not just improve the eco-efficiency of their products. The book also introduces and explains the four pollution prevention principles ‘again’ ‘different’ ‘less’ and ‘labor not materials’. Together ‘net green’ and the four pollution prevention principles provide a road map for businesses and for every household to a world in which human prosperity and a healthy environment are no longer at odds. The Business of Less is full of anecdotes and examples. This brings its material to life and makes the book not only very accessible but also hugely applicable for everyone who is worried about the fate of our planet and is looking for answers. | The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

Sustainability and Degradation in Less Developed Countries Immolating the Future?

Sustainability and Degradation in Less Developed Countries Immolating the Future?

This title was first published in 2002. The concept of sustainable development has increasingly gained currency as a policy determination tool yet its interpretation and application is widely contested especially with respect to the role of economics in the facilitation of environmentally and socially sustainable outcomes. Sarah Lumley assesses some of the fundamental assumptions of mainstream economic theory as part of an analysis of farmers' motives in adopting soil conservation on degraded lands in the Philippines. The text has a strong focus on the theoretical and practical interactions between environmental economic and social aspects of sustainable development; it is both multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary and draws on conceptually important points of each discipline that it encompasses. | Sustainability and Degradation in Less Developed Countries Immolating the Future?

Typographia or The Printer's Instructor

Typographia or The Printer's Instructor

Published in 1981: Authors of early English and American printers's manuals casually appropriated text from their predecessors. The practice common enough not to require explanation or acknowledgement ( much less apology) was documented by Lawrence C. Wroth in 1935. Citing borrowed passages and devising a literary family tree Wroth measured the original work of typographical writers from Moxon to De Vinne with much more praise for them but with less for those in between. The author who whose Typographia is reprinted here was found to be the worst and boldest of offenders. | Typographia or The Printer's Instructor

Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

This second volume considers various socialist impulses and developments after the collapse of the Owenite movement in Britain. Interventions by some leading Christian Socialists will illuminate one important tendency; publications by O’Brien another less vital strand. Central to this volume however will be far less well-known pamphlets book extracts and articles in the periodical press by national and local co-operative writers and activists who appropriated and transformed the legacy of utopian socialism in the second half of the nineteenth century. Old Owenites are naturally included though more emphasis is given to reworkings by a younger generation of co-operators now mostly forgotten. The volume will also cover relationships and controversies between co-operators and late nineteenth century state socialists who attempted to portray the co-operative movement as merely diversionary for the working class. | Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism
