  • Feeding the Fire

    The Lost History and Uncertain Future of Mankind's Energy Addiction

    by Mark Eberhart ...
    From the first spark created by human hands thousands of years ago, mankind has grown dependent on nature’s vast stores of energy to build, explore, and experiment. Our expanding knowledge and technologies have come from the felling of forests to the harnessing of wind and water, from the burning of coal and oil to tapping the energy of the atom. Energy does more than heat our homes and fill our ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics in Minutes

    by Gemma Lavender ...
    Quantum physics is the most fundamental -- but also the most baffling -- branch of science. Allowing for dead-and-alive cats, teleportation, antimatter, and parallel universes, as well as underpinning all of our digital technology, it's as important as it is mind-bending. This clear and compact book demystifies the strange and beautiful quantum world, and hence the nature of reality itself ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics: A First Encounter : Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    by Valerio Scarani ; Rachael Thew ...
    Quantum physics is often perceived as a weird and abstract theory, which physicists must use in order to make correct predictions. But many recent experiments have shown that the weirdness of the theory simply mirrors the weirdness of phenomena: it is Nature itself, and not only our description of it, that behaves in an astonishing way. This book selects those, among these typical quantum ... Read more

  • Weather Modeling and Forecasting of PV Systems Operation

    by Marius Paulescu, Eugenia Paulescu, Paul Gravila, Viorel Badescu ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    In the past decade, there has been a substantial increase of grid-feeding photovoltaic applications, thus raising the importance of solar electricity in the energy mix. This trend is expected to continue and may even increase. Apart from the high initial investment cost, the fluctuating nature of the solar resource raises particular insertion problems in electrical networks. Proper grid managing ... Read more
