        by Wang Fan, Ling Shengli

        Chinese President Xi Jinping has mentioned the "Chinese Plan" for global governance on several occasions, and pointed that "the world is so big and we have so many problems that the international community looks forward to hearing Chinese voices and seeing China's plans, and China cannot be absent in there".

        Energy Future

        Fosils and Beyond

        by Moty Kuperberg

        We cannot survive in a world where oil is $200 per barrel and where prices are dictated by a cartel and influenced by Wall Street. The free industrialized world, the glorious oil industry, and developed and developing countries have all fallen victim to greedy oil price crises. The worst year was 2008; our energy security, which the IEA defines as the “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price,” was harmed. Yet the average price of crude oil in 2010–2014 was over $100 per barrel, only to sharply decline to $56 by the end of 2014, followed by a struggle to reach $50—a price which is considered "acceptable" by the industry. Energy Future puts the oil and gas industry’s past and present in context in order to introduce an alternative future. This future is based on three main pillars defined by the author as ENERGY GPS: geopolitics = accessible, prices = affordable, and supply = available.   Moty Kuperberg is a graduate of the department of Middle Eastern history at the University of Haifa (1984), and he holds a postgraduate degree in business administration and shipping from the City of London Polytechnic (1988). He has over twenty years of experience in shipping and energy, and during the last five years he has focused on his Independent Energy Security Agency (www.TheIESA.com) as a platform for improved global security of supply. An English-language eBook edition has been scheduled for fall  2017 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc.,CA.

        The food of the future

        by Dr. Malte Rubach

        It is time to counter the numerous utopias, myths and established narratives of the future of nutrition with a fact-based scenario. This book shows where the natural limits of what is currently technologically feasible lie and how the global diversity of food cultures will ensure the survival of humanity in the future. It exposes the great promises of meat substitutes from the laboratory as well as vegan renunciation scenarios, and shows a realistic path for the future of global nutrition along the lines of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

        by Dennis R. Cutchins, Dennis R. Perry

        The Future of Nuclear Power, Revised Edition
        January 2020

        The Future of Nuclear Power, Revised Edition

        by James A. Mahaffey, Ph.D.

        Newly conceived, safer reactor designs are being built in the United States (and around the world) to replace the 104 obsolete operating nuclear power reactors in this country alone. The designs—which once seemed exotic and futuristic—are now 40 years old, and one by one these vintage Generation II plants will reach the end of productive service in the next 30 years. The Future of Nuclear Power, Revised Edition examines the advanced designs, practical concepts, and fully developed systems that have yet to be used. This eBook introduces readers to the traditional, American system of units, with some archaic terms remaining in use. Ideal for students and teachers interested in the technology of energy production in the next 100 years, this updated, full-color resource provides clear explanations of the terms and expressions used almost exclusively in nuclear science and the direction in which nuclear power is expected to go.

        Energy Future: Fossilien und mehr

        by Moty Kuperberg

        Energy Future: Fossilien und mehr / Moty Kuperberg Moty Kuperberg, Direktor von Oil & Gas Dynamic Shipping, Haifa, Israel Wir können nicht in einer Welt überleben, in der Öl 200 US-Dollar pro Barrel kostet und die Preise von einem Kartell bestimmt und von der Wall Street beeinflusst werden. Die freie industrialisierte Welt, die Ölindustrie selbst sowie die Industrie- und Entwicklungsländer sind Opfer der durch Gier verursachten Ölpreiskrisen geworden. Das schlimmste Jahr war 2008. Die Sicherheit unserer Energieversorgung, die die IEA als „ununterbrochene Verfügbarkeit von Energiequellen zu einem erschwinglichen Preis“ definiert, wurde beeinträchtigt. Der Durchschnittspreis für Rohöl lag zwischen 2010 und 2014 bei über 100 USD pro Barrel, sank jedoch bis Ende 2014 stark auf 56 USD, gefolgt von einem Wettlauf nach unten in Richtung 50 USD – einem Preis, der von der Branche als akzeptabel eingestuft wird. Zukunft der Energie stellt die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart der Öl- und Gasindustrie in einen Kontext, um eine alternative Zukunft einzuführen. Diese Zukunft basiert auf drei Hauptpfeilern, die vom Autor als ENERGY GPS definiert wurden: Geopolitik = zugänglich, Preis = erschwinglich und Supply = verfügbar.   Moty Kuperberg ist Absolvent der Abteilung für Geschichte des Nahen Ostens an der Universität von Haifa (1984) und hat einen Abschluss in Betriebswirtschaft und Schifffahrt von der City of London Polytechnic (1988). Er verfügt über mehr als zwanzig Jahre Erfahrung in den Bereichen Schifffahrt und Energie und hat sich in den letzten fünf Jahren auf seine unabhängige Agentur für Energiesicherheit konzentriert (www.TheIESA.com) als Plattform für eine verbesserte globale Versorgungssicherheit. Eine englischsprachige eBook-Ausgabe wurde im Herbst 2017 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht.

        Photography and memory in Mexico

        Icons of Revolution

        by Andrea Noble

        Photography and memory in Mexico traces the 'life stories' of some of the famous photographic images made during the 1910 revolution, which have been repeatedly reproduced across a range of media in its aftermath. Which photographs have become icons of the revolution and why these particular images and not others? What is the relationship between photography and memory of the conflict? How do we construct a critical framework for addressing the issues raised by iconic photographs? Placing an emphasis on the life, afterlife and also the pre-life of those iconic photographs that haunt the post-revolutionary landscape, Andrea Noble approaches them as dynamic objects, where their rhetorical power is derived from a combination of their visual eloquence and their ability to coordinate patterns of identification with the memory of the revolution as a foundational event in Mexican history. Richly-illustrated, this book will be of interest to all those interested in photography, memory studies, and Mexican cultural history. ;

        In Strange Countries: Middle English Literature and its Afterlife

        Essays in memory of J. J. Anderson

        by Anke Bernau, David Matthews

        These essays by senior scholars in medieval studies celebrate the career of J.J. Anderson, editor, critic, and co-founder of the Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture series, who taught in medieval studies at the University of Manchester for forty years. The essays are rooted in medieval literature but frequently range beyond the confines of the Middle Ages. They reflect the breadth of Anderson's own scholarly interests, especially in drama and Arthurian literature. There is a particular focus on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, poems which preoccupied him throughout his scholarly life. There are also new reconsiderations of La?amon's Brut, Mirk's Festial, the Passion plays, and the manuscripts of the Pore Caitif. Moving beyond the traditional purview of medieval literature, several contributors trace the afterlives of medieval themes in later literature. These essays include a consideration of the twinned trajectories of the medieval heroes Robin Hood and King Arthur from medieval literature to modern television, a comparison of La?amon's Brut and Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and a recreation of the Bishop Blase procession which took place in industrial Bradford. Contributors are Rosamund Allen, Ralph Elliott, Alexandra Johnston, Stephen Knight, Peter Meredith, Susan Powell, Gillian Rudd, Alan Shelston, and Kalpen Trivedi. ;

        The Forest of the Future – A New Reality

        The Forest of the Future – A New Reality

        Understanding the ecosystem

        by Hans Jürgen Böhmer

        What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.
