  • Energy and the Wealth of Nations

    Understanding the Biophysical Economy

    by Charles A. S. Hall, Kent A. Klitgaard ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    For the past 150 years, economics has been treated as a social science in which economies are modeled as a circular flow of income between producers and consumers. In this “perpetual motion” of interactions between firms that produce and households that consume, little or no accounting is given of the flow of energy and materials from the environment and back again. In the standard economic model, ... Read more

  • The Chemistry of Evolution

    The Development of our Ecosystem

    by R.J.P Williams, J.J.R Fraústo da Silva ...
    Conventionally, evolution has always been described in terms of species. The Chemistry of Evolution takes a novel, not to say revolutionary, approach and examines the evolution of chemicals and the use and degradation of energy, coupled to the environment, as the drive behind it. The authors address the major changes of life from bacteria to man in a systematic and unavoidable sequence, ... Read more
