Power in the Anthropocene

Power in the Anthropocene

Lars Tnder

EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025
sidottu
Power in the Anthropocene offers a unique approach to the study of power in a time of multiple ecological crises. Drawing on insights from Jane Bennett, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and others, the book introduces a new materialist framework and opens up innovative avenues for expanding democracy and political mobilization. The book is the first of its kind to link the study of power to debates about the Anthropocene, and it outlines a new agenda for interdisciplinary research that combines insights from both the natural sciences and the social sciences, including ecofeminism, sustainability science, indigenous studies, and environmental political theory.

Metals in Society and in the Environment

Metals in Society and in the Environment

Lars Landner; Rudolf Reuther

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2004
sidottu
In 2002, the Swedish Metal Information Task Force (MITF) engaged the Environmental Research Group (MFG) to update previous monographs on copper, zinc and major alloying metals (such as chromium, nickel and molybdenum) in society and in the environment. This book presents new results on metal fluxes from society to the environment, on metal speciation in water, soil and sediment, and its interpretation in terms of mobility, biological uptake and toxicity. The scientific fundamentals of new approaches, like the Acid Volatile Sulphide (AVS) concept to predict metal bioavailability in sediments, and the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) to calculate the toxicity of metals to aquatic organisms, are critically evaluated, with a focus on copper, nickel, zinc, and, in part, chromium. Recent scientific advances now offer an improved understanding of the mechanisms and factors controlling the intricate behaviour of trace metals, their interactions, uptake and effect in natural systems. Traditional risk assessment methods usually built on quite crude toxicity tests done in unrealistic "laboratory waters", and did not consider natural conditions. In contrast, modern approaches now increasingly involve the full utilisation of site-specific factors, which are decisive for the formation of bioavailable and toxic metal forms. Audience: This book provides excellent guidance not only to scientists focusing on the assessment of the ecological risk of metals, but also to authorities, decision makers in industry, educational staff and the interested public concerned with the occurrence and fate of trace metals.

Fast, Efficient and Predictable Memory Accesses

Fast, Efficient and Predictable Memory Accesses

Lars Wehmeyer; Peter Marwedel

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2006
sidottu
Fast, Efficient and Predictable Memory Accesses presents techniques for designing fast, energy-efficient and timing predictable memory systems. By using a careful combination of compiler optimizations and architectural improvements, we can achieve more than what would be feasible at one of the levels in isolation. The described optimization algorithms achieve the goals of high performance and low energy consumption. In addition to these benefits, the use of scratchpad memories significantly improves the timing predictability of the entire system, leading to tighter worst case execution time bounds (WCET). The WCET is a relevant design parameter for all timing critical systems. In addition, the book covers algorithms to exploit the power down modes of main memories in SDRAM technology, as well as the execute-in-place feature of Flash memories. The final chapter considers the impact of the register file, which is also part of the memory hierarchy.

Occupation Circumnavigator

Occupation Circumnavigator

Lars Hässler

Adlard Coles Nautical
2009
nidottu
A hippy Sell Up and Sail, this entertaining and inspiring book is more than just a cruising narrative - it is an instructive account showing how anyone can circumnavigate (or even sail for an extended period) without huge funds. Lars Hassler originally set off intending to sail for three years, but by judiciously using his funds, and topping them up by taking charter guests on cruises, he sailed around the world for ten years. Woven into the book is advice on costs, distances, timing, power needs, food and medication - in other words, the practicalities that everyone who sails needs to know about. And at the end, there is a forward-looking chapter providing advice on 'After the Circumnavigation - What Next?' With a Foreword by Jimmy Cornell and a gorgeous photo section, this is an enjoyable and useful read for anyone thinking, or dreaming, about making an extended cruise. 'Lars, the modern day Odysseus...is in many respects an extraordinary person, a man who had the guts to chuck it all in and opt for a lifestyle that others dream of their entire lives...Any reader planning to follow the author's example will find many useful tips on how to earn a living while cruising. Thank you Lasse!' From the Foreword by Jimmy Cornell

Harbour Manoeuvres Step-by-Step

Harbour Manoeuvres Step-by-Step

Lars Bolle

Adlard Coles Nautical
2012

Every boatowner needs to manoeuvre their boat in harbour - whether in their home marina or when visiting another marina along the coast. And it's when entering or leaving harbour that good boat handling skills have to be faultless - otherwise expensive damage can ensue. This unique step by step photographic book will show a helmsman exactly where to position the boat (and what action to apply to a wheel, tiller or throttle lever) in order to place it there. With no brakes, and often with wind and tide to contend with, it can be a tricky exercise. This is the book that will act as an instructor alongside the novice or nervous experienced helmsman every step of the way, showing exactly what to do in each situation - berthing alongside with an onshore wind; an offshore wind; with a favourable tide; a contrary tide; with both wind and tide acting together or against etc. Bird's eye step-by-step photos show exactly what action to take. A unique handbook, Harbour Manoeuvres Step by Step covers in great detail everything needed to master this essential skill.

Corporate Communications

Corporate Communications

Lars Thøger Christensen; Mette Morsing; George Cheney

SAGE Publications Inc
2008
sidottu
The field of corporate communications describes the practices organizations use to communicate as coherent corporate `bodies'. Drawing on the metaphor of the body and on a variety of theories and disciplines the text challenges the idealized notion that organizations can and should communicate as unified wholes. The authors pose important questions such as: - Where does the central idea of corporate communications come from? - What are the underlying assumptions of most corporate communications practices? - What are the organizational and ethical challenges of attempting truly `corporate' communication? Clearly written with international vignettes and executive briefings, this book shows that in a complex world the management of communication needs to embrace multiple opinions and voices. Rewarding readers with a deeper understanding of corporate communications, the text will be a `must read' for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars, in the arenas of corporate communications, organizational communication, employee relations, marketing, public relations and corporate identity management. Practitioners in these areas will be provoked to re-examine their assumptions and habits.

The Mysterious Murder of Ivar Kreuger

The Mysterious Murder of Ivar Kreuger

pokkari
This is the fascinating story about the King of Matches, Ivar Kreuger, the Swedish genius, who pioneered the usage of corporate nance and management, international law, politics and nance, etc., for the establishment and management of corporations, their subsidiaries and divisions, on an international scale. During and after WWI, many countries had nancial problems, and turned to the big international banks for help, getting loans from American, British, Swedish and other banks. Interest rates were very high, almost to the point of bankrupting the borrowers. Ivar Kreuger's methods for survival in the "international theatre", included new ways for governments, to become supported by industry, internationally. This and other matters made him a competitor to the "Finance Industry". The Depression of the late 1920s became a nancial disaster for many. Ivar's activities and financial agreements with many countries, helped their governments, but hurt the international banks, which needed the business for their survival. In the US alone, shareholders, receiving handsome dividends continuously, all of a sudden lost some $ 500 million, after Ivar's death. Ivar Kreuger was found dead in one of his apartments, in Paris, on 12 March 1932, having been murdered. Lars-Jonas has succeeded in presenting the proof(s) of this, of who the opposition was who, while saying that it was suicide, succeeded in taking Ivar's life and plundering his empire. Ivar Kreuger was a tremendous asset to the World. He tried to help, where help was needed and did a spectacular job of it, to the end.
