James Turner Libri

    25 giugno 1946

    Questo autore incarna lo spirito turbolento del XVII secolo, la cui vita fu plasmata dai campi di battaglia e dai rivolgimenti politici. La sua vasta esperienza militare si tradusse in un acuto sguardo sulla natura umana in condizioni estreme. La sua scrittura è caratterizzata da un crudo realismo nel rappresentare conflitti e dilemmi morali, offrendo ai lettori una prospettiva unica su un'epoca di profonda trasformazione. Le sue opere conservano una voce potente e rilevante per i lettori contemporanei.

      For a clean energy future, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries?including mining, disposal, and more?does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving ?the battery problem? is critical to a clean energy transition. At a time when climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create?sustainability, resiliency, and climate justice?considering the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building a clean energy future will consume?lithium, graphite, nickel, and other specialized materials. With new insight on questions of justice and sustainability, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a clean energy future, from the ground up.

      Hvězdokotě, kosmický koráb, který je napůl kočka, brázdí se svou posádkou nejtemnějšími hlubinami vesmíru. Za každým šutrem, hvězdou nebo měsícem na ně čeká nějaká patálie, s kterou se ne vždy popasují, jak by se očekávalo. Nejsou totiž moc sehraný tým… A do toho se kapitán Vesmírňák snaží získat medaili za největší hrdinství. Podaří se mu to?
