À propos de ce produit
Product Information
A user's guide to the solar revolution - and why we must all get on board, before it is too late. We are a cusp civilisation. In just over three generations, we have consumed approximately half the useful oil which took photosynthesis around two million years to produce. In approximately two generations we have used around half our useful uranium resources. We are faced with an urgent choice, the roots of which, Keith Barnham explains, lies in 1905 with the discovery of Einstein's 'other' equation, E = hf. By an extraordinary coincidence, this little-known equation, which began the quantum revolution and could hold the key to our future survival through the generation of electricity from sunlight, was discovered in the same year as E = mc2, the equation that threatens to destroy us. This book will investigate the reasons why scientists exploited the equation E = mc2 for energy generation much faster than E = hf, putting our civilisation on an ever-sharper knife edge. But THE BURNING ANSWER is as much about solutions as problems. Through his groundbreaking research, Keith Barnham offers the controversial promise that, despite our much higher energy demands now than in earlier periods of human evolution, our sun can provide all our primary energy needs again. The sunlight falling on the earth in one hour is more than enough to supply all the energy demands of humankind for one year. This solar technology can save us from the threats of global warming, diminishing oil resources, and nuclear disaster -- provided we don't allow politics to stand in our way.

- x***o (888)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéWhat you see is what you get. With checkout complete, item securely packaged it was shipped swiftly. It really adds to the “eBay experience”, restoring your faith in people/eBay sellers when you’ve found something you like, and having checked the description, you need more information, or simply clarification on something, you ask the question(s), the seller then responds with a promptly: filling in the gaps. A very smooth transaction. I would purchase from this seller again. Thank you.
- 3***h (449)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiégreat book, great seller does things at his best, such as sells it very cheap around £3.20 free postages, he listened and responded to all my messages then day later he dispatched item well in good condition to avoid item being torn up or damaged in any form of way. Wrapped well with cello tape inside the envelope, the best with royal mail delivery service.
- p***n (871)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéUsed book at a very cheap price was bought with another in a discount deal. They arrived quickly, wrapped in plastic. Unfortunately one. "The Bride of Science" was defaced with a scribbled ink dedication not in the description. On informing the seller, they immediately apologised and issued a full refund. While one book was disappointing, the customer communication and care was EXCELLENT!The Bride of Science : Romance, Reason and Byron's Daughter,Benjamin Woolley (#382552682241)
