DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Influence of the Climate of California Upon Its Literature HE study of the literature of a T people is far more than a mere investigation into words and the manner of their arrangement. Rightly conducted, it is a probing into the inner self of the man who used the words, an investigation into his thoughts, feelings, emotions, environment, social and poli tical life, religion, aspiration. By its means, we are enabled to comprehend all that is meant by the history of a people, its civilization, its real life. In the present article I wish to con sider the influence climate has had upon the literature of California, first, by its direct and indirect influence upon men, and second, as it offers men subjects and objects for discourse.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac—who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015. The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster.
Environment, Power, and Society for the Twenty-First Century

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHoward T. Odum possessed one of the most innovative minds of the twentieth century. He pioneered the fields of ecological engineering, ecological economics, and environmental accounting, working throughout his life to better understand the interrelationships of energy, environment, and society and their importance to the well-being of humanity and the planet. This volume is a major modernization of Odum's classic work on the significance of power and its role in society, bringing his approach and insight to a whole new generation of students and scholars. For this edition Odum refines his original theories and introduces two new measures: emergy and transformity. These concepts can be used to evaluate and compare systems and their transformation and use of resources by accounting for all the energies and materials that flow in and out and expressing them in equivalent ability to do work. Natural energies such as solar radiation and the cycling of water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are diagrammed in terms of energy and emergy flow. Through this method Odum reveals the similarities between human economic and social systems and the ecosystems of the natural world. In the process, we discover that our survival and prosperity are regulated as much by the laws of energetics as are systems of the physical and chemical world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Climate Considered Especially in Relation to Man Climate may be considered in a way as supplement ing the first volume Of Dr. Julius Hann's H aadbach der Klimatologie, an English translation of which was prepared 'by me and published in 1903. In that book, the standard work of its kind in the world, the principles Of climatology are clearly set forth. My present volume deals with matters which are either omitted altogether in the Handbook, or else are very briefly treated therein. Climate is wholly independ ent of Hann's splendid work, except in so far as my study of that book inspired me to prepare this one.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Bioclimatics: A Science of Life and Climate Relations Some of the references to principles and elements of other sciences may seem crude and elementary to specialists in such sciences, but it is to be kept in mind that each major science and each of its minor divisions and sections contains so many technical terms, complex systems, and special methods peculiar to each, that to some extent they represent different languages ia miliar only to restricted groups of specialists. Thus in dealing with broad, fundamental laws, principles, and methods of general interest to all specialists, it is necessary that, within a reasonable range of error as to the facts, references to the principles of the other sciences should be elementary, leaving it to the special ist to correct the errors and, if desired, to translate the simple expressions into his technical terms. Although in the many examples and tables given, there may be some errors of computation, statement, and interpre tation, they will not affect the attainment of the purpose, Which is to outline principles, systems, and methods for the' use of specialists, who'with a special knowledge of their respective subjects will make adjustments to their individual requirements. The reader should keep in mind that this pioneer work on bioclimatics is intended merely to serve as a foundation for further development along special lines of research and practice, and that, therefore, its faults, either apparent or real, should not be allowed to obscure or detract from the features which may have real merit in rendering the service intended.
