The backcountry of the Rocky Mountains is a tranquil place. A refuge from the hustle and bustle of daily life. That's how photographer Earl Warnes sees it, anyway-until he stumbles upon a troubling scene in a mountain glen. A helicopter appears, and a group of men subdue and capture a strange, hairless animal. As Earl snaps off a few shots, the men spot him and give chase. Earl manages to escape, but he is haunted by what he saw. His girlfriend, Elaine Stevenson, is an academic, studying in the emerging field of genethics. Earl shows her the photos he took in the meadow, and they realize that what Earl saw wasn't an animal at all. It was a woman.As Earl and Elaine seek answers to the woman's identity, they are surveilled and stalked by shadowy figures. Earl's photos are stolen, his archives deleted. Someone doesn't want the world to know what Earl and Elaine know.The closer they get to the truth, the more Elaine realizes that the people she trusts most have been lying to her-and that the secret she and Earl uncover may shake the foundations of her reality.

Carbon Dioxide Equilibria and Their Applications

Carbon Dioxide Equilibria and Their Applications

James N. Butler

CRC Press
2018
sidottu
Carbon dioxide, bicarbonate ion, and carbonate ion comprise the most important acid-base system in natural waters, and the equilibria between them regulate the pH of seawater, as well as most rainwater, stream water, river water, and groundwater. Carbon Dioxide Equilibria and Their Applications provides a clear, compact presentation of this topic, which is central to geochemistry and environmental engineering. It emphasizes a rigorous mathematical and thermodynamic basis for calculations and their application to realistic problems. The book's first four chapters present the basic equations, mathematical techniques for visualizing and manipulating them, and data on equilibrium constants and activity coefficients. These are presented in the general context of acid-base titration and solubility of CaCO3. The remaining chapters show how these concepts and techniques are applied to geochemistry and oceanography, in addition to their applications to water conditioning. Specific topics discussed include acid rain, freshwater, seawater, carbonate sediments in the deep oceans, the effects of increased atmospheric CO2 on the oceans, estuarine waters, brines, hydrothermal solutions, pH adjustment, prediction of calcium carbonate saturation, corrosion inhibition, and water softening.

Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide

Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide

James Wigmore

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS
2026
pokkari
Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide offers a compelling exploration of the history and medicolegal aspects of carbon monoxide, humanity’s ancient and silent killer. Odourless, non-irritating, and invisible, carbon monoxide (CO) has haunted human civilization since the discovery of fire. For centuries, unexplained nighttime deaths were attributed to witchcraft or demons, rather than the insidious effects of poor ventilation and combustion. Despite advances in technology, CO poisoning remains a persistent threat today, arising from water heaters, gas stoves, charcoal barbecues, Zambonis, camp stoves, tent heaters, diesel generators, and power washers. Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide provides a comprehensive, well-organized, and thought-provoking examination of this deadly gas, tracing its impact on humans from antiquity to the present. Backed by over 600 studies, long-time forensic toxicologist James G. Wigmore presents complex information in an easily understandable manner for professionals such as lawyers, judges, scientists, coroners, unexplained death investigators, police officers, and students. Through historical accounts, scientific discoveries, and medicolegal cases, this book illuminates the enduring dangers of carbon monoxide and underscores the importance of awareness and prevention in our modern world.

The Case for Carbon Dividends

The Case for Carbon Dividends

James Boyce

Polity Press
2019
sidottu
The supreme challenge of our time is tackling climate change. We urgently need to curtail our use of fossil fuels – but how can we do so in a just and feasible way? In this compelling book, leading economist James Boyce shows that the key to solving this conundrum is to put a limit on carbon emissions, thereby raising the price of fossil fuels and generating strong incentives for clean energy. But there is a formidable hurdle: how do we secure broad public support for a policy that increases fuel costs for consumers? Boyce powerfully argues that carbon pricing can be made just and politically durable only if linked to returning the revenue to the public as carbon dividends. Founded on the principle that the gifts of nature belong to us all, not to corporations or governments, this bold reform could spark a twenty-first-century clean energy revolution. Essential reading for all concerned citizens, policy-makers, and students of public policy and environmental economics, this book will be a transformative contribution to one of the most important policy debates of our era.

Neritic Carbonate Sediments in a Temperate Realm

Neritic Carbonate Sediments in a Temperate Realm

Noel P. James; Yvonne Bone

Springer
2010
sidottu
This book is the first comprehensive documentation and interpretation of modern neritic carbonate sediments on the southern Australian continental margin, the largest cool-water carbonate depositional system on the globe. The approach is classical but the information is new. A brief chapter of introduction is followed by a section that describes the setting of the continental margin in terms of the regional geology, its evolution through time, the climate, and the complex oceanography. The setting is further explored in chapter 3 that outlines the Pleistocene history of sedimentation in this region. This is particularly important since many of the surficial sediments have a partial older history. The following section on the carbonate factory describes in detail the nature of the animals and plants that determine the nature of the sediments and the environmental conditions that control their distribution. The shelf itself cannot be discussed in isolation and thus a short chapter on the marginal marine environment is presented. The core of the book comprises two chapters that document the suite of depositional facies and their composition and then the suite of depositional environments where these sediments are found. The variety of deposits in this vast area is such that three chapters are devoted to the character of the materials on the southwestern shelf the south Australian sea and the southeastern shelf. The diagenesis that affects these sediments is tackled in a chapter after all the attributes are documented because they are intimately linked to different controls. The book finishes with a summary chapter that also addresses the various controls on sedimentation and models the effects to be expected when these are changed outside those present in the current realm. Audience: The book is an invaluable source of information about this vast region and will be a critical reference forresearchers, graduate students, and professionals engaged in marine and environmental research. It will be of particular importance for geologists interpreting the ancient rock record.

Origin of Carbonate Sedimentary Rocks

Origin of Carbonate Sedimentary Rocks

Noel P. James; Brian Jones

John Wiley Sons Inc
2015
sidottu
This textbook provides an overview of the origin and preservation of carbonate sedimentary rocks. The focus is on limestones and dolostones and the sediments from which they are derived. The approach is general and universal and draws heavily on fundamental discoveries, arresting interpretations, and keystone syntheses that have been developed over the last five decades. The book is designed as a teaching tool for upper level undergraduate classes, a fundamental reference for graduate and research students, and a scholarly source of information for practicing professionals whose expertise lies outside this specialty. The approach is rigorous, with every chapter being designed as a separate lecture on a specific topic that is encased within a larger scheme. The text is profusely illustrated with all colour diagrams and images of rocks, subsurface cores, thin sections, modern sediments, and underwater seascapes.Additional resources for this book can be found at: www.wiley.com/go/james/carbonaterocks

This is the untold story of the remarkable scientist who established the carbon dioxide theory of climate change. Guy Stewart Callendar discovered that global warming could be brought about by increases in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human activities, primarily through burning fossil fuels. He did this in 1938! Using never-before-published original scientific correspondence, notebooks, family letters, and photographs, science historian James Rodger Fleming introduces us to one of Britain’s leading engineers and explains his life and work through two World Wars to his continuing legacy as the scientist who established The Callendar Effect.

Modelling and Mechanics of Carbon-based Nanostructured Materials

Modelling and Mechanics of Carbon-based Nanostructured Materials

Duangkamon Baowan; Barry J Cox; Tamsyn A Hilder; James M Hill; Ngamta Thamwattana

William Andrew Publishing
2017
nidottu
Modelling and Mechanics of Carbon-based Nanostructured Materials sets out the principles of applied mathematical modeling in the topical area of nanotechnology. It is purposely designed to be self-contained, giving readers all the necessary modeling principles required for working with nanostructures. The unique physical properties observed at the nanoscale are often counterintuitive, sometimes astounding researchers and thus driving numerous investigations into their special properties and potential applications. Typically, existing research has been conducted through experimental studies and molecular dynamics simulations. This book goes beyond that to provide new avenues for study and review.
