In this book I share my journey with God and how it unfolded over my life time. My journey began on a dark November night when I lost my way. I was returning from a cousins birthday party in Brooklyn. It was one am. I missed the turn on a road I had driven all of my youth growing up in Brooklyn. Not quite sure where I was I stopped at a stop sign and began to pray. I was scared, as the neighborhood was alive with drug activity and crowded street corners. In a few minutes of that prayer the...

In the year 2242, humanity survives in the "Labyrinth," a sprawling subterranean network built to escape the Great Blight—a self-inflicted ecological collapse that turned the surface into an ochre-skied wasteland. Under the rigid control of the Council, life is a cycle of rationing and recycled air, where the green world of the past is dismissed as a forbidden myth.Elara, a young archivist dedicated to sifting through the digital ghosts of the pre-Blight era, discovers a cryptic da...

L'oceano emotivo che ha travolto la nostra società sta progressivamente erodendo lo spazio sociale e politico marginalizzando lo spirito critico e la ragione stessa. Se è vero, come ha detto Hegel, che «nulla di grande può essere realizzato senza passione», questo impero dell'emozione, che depoliticizza gli eventi concentrandosi sugli effetti e non sulle cause, sta minando la capacità dell'individuo di scegliere, decidere, conoscere. Col fazzoletto in mano, l'individuo si abbandona a una f...

This volume demonstrates the unique place in nanotechnology and nanoscience that carbon nanomaterials occupy owing to their exceptional chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Carbon nanomaterials have diverse applications in super strong composite materials, smart sensors, energy storage and conversion, super-capacitors, and more. Focusing on materials rather than mechanics, this volume discusses the key roles of materials science and engineering in the development of co...

This new book discusses a selection of advanced topics on carbon nanotubes—their extraordinary properties, structure, design, fabrication, development, engineering, functionalization, carbon nanotube enabled nanocomposites, characterization, and, moreover, their utility in many applications. The volume highlights the amazing potential of advanced CNT composites in automotive, aeronautics, spacecrafts, transistors replacing Si electronics, energy, purification, hydrogen storage, tissue rege...

This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on carbon monitoring and management in forests.The first chapter summarises the effects of different forest management practices on soil organic carbon storage and discusses whether and how they can be optimised under climate change.The second chapter considers the potential of agroforestry systems to respond to multiple challenges related to soil carbon sequestration, including soil fertility improvement, land restoration, food...

Winner, IP Picks 2012 Best Junior Prose. Tim Trickett – shy, over-protected and troubled by memories – is the new boy in a small country town. When his classmates put him up to an initiation test, he finds himself on his way to visit Granny Rags, the reclusive old lady who lives near the creek and is rumoured to be a witch. But one visit turns into several, and soon Tim finds himself deep in a mess of buried secrets, crooked business deals and long-harboured grudges. He’s going to need all...

Recent advancements and research in nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials engineering the applications of nanomaterial are evolving. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and CNT-based systems possess unique chemical, physical, and biological properties that make them good candidates in biomedical applications, but they also have some inherent properties that cause great concern about their biosafety. This volume explores the practical applications of carbon nanotubes in biomedical science and human h...

This topical brief summarizes the various options available for carbon capture and presents the current strategies involved in CO2 reduction. The authors focus on current CO2 capture technologies that facilitate the reduction of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions and reduce global warming. This short study will interest environmental researchers, teachers and students who have an interest in global warming.

This new book, Carbon Nanotubes for Energy and Environmental Applications, covers the timely issue of green applications of carbon nanotubes.
