Winner of Choice Magazine - Outstanding Academic Titles for 2007 Buildings account for over one third of global energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Reducing energy use by buildings is therefore an essential part of any strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and thereby lessen the likelihood of potentially catastrophic climate change. Bringing together a wealth of hard-to-obtain information on energy use and energy efficiency in buildings at a level which can be easily digested and applied, Danny Harvey offers a comprehensive, objective and critical sourcebook on low-energy buildings. Topics covered include: thermal envelopes, heating, cooling, heat pumps, HVAC systems, hot water, lighting, solar energy, appliances and office equipment, embodied energy, buildings as systems and community-integrated energy systems (cogeneration, district heating, and district cooling). The book includes exemplary buildings and techniques from North America, Europe and Asia, and combines a broad, holistic perspective with technical detail in an accessible and insightful manner.
In one accessible, engaging, and easy-to-use volume readers will find historical context, directions, factual information, and analytical architectural analysis for more than two hundred places of interest across the United States. The traveler (armchair, behind the wheel, or on foot), the researcher (seeking a comprehensive view of some of America's greatest ideas and accomplishments), and the architect and landscape architect (seeking sources of inspiration) will find a rewarding journey inside this book."--BOOK JACKET.
The smartest particle physicist works with a small group of superintelligent scientists in Geneva Switzerland at the CERN Hadron supercollider on research aimed toward discovering the Higgs boson. During the operation of the Hadron supercollider which smashes protons together at nearly the speed of light the small group of scientists find themselves traveling back in time some 60,000 years to Burundi Africa. Join our scientists as they navigate the dimension shifting future. The time line is 2012 through 2040 but also forty years surrounding 57,000 BC. The location in the present is Geneva Switzerland as well as Bujumbura Burundi Africa and includes some New York City, East Hampton Connecticut, and Houston Texas. The prehistoric setting is almost entirely in Burundi Africa. The books concept could potentially appeal to sci-fi fans who are drawn to the wildly speculative end of the genre. - BlueInk Review Time-travel fans will embrace this intriguing story of consciousness, prehistory, and romance. - Clarion Review Scientists using the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva stumble upon a way to travel back to the prehistoric era in Walls sci-fi debut. - Kirkus Reviews
