Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility: Oil Multinationals and Social Challenges
Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility: Oil Multinationals and Social Challenges
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as an important approach for addressing the social and environmental impact of company activities. Yet companies are increasingly expected to go beyond this. They are now often expected to assist in addressing many of the world's most pressing problems, including climate change, poverty and...
Renewable Energy: Technology, Economics and Environment
Renewable Energy: Technology, Economics and Environment

The utilisation of renewable energies is not at all new; in the history of mankind renewable energies have for a long time been the primary possibility of generating energy. This only changed with industrial revolution when lignite and hard coal became increasingly more important. Later on, also crude oil gained importance. Offering the...

How Do Hybrid Cars Work? (Science in the Real World)
How Do Hybrid Cars Work? (Science in the Real World)

In recent years, there has been much concern about the world's reliance on nonrenewable resources, such as oil. Scientists are attempting to decrease our dependency on oil - something cars require to work. Hybrid cars, which run on alternative energy sources like sunlight, corn, and biofuels, may be the key to using less oil. "How Do Hybrid...

Electrochemistry of Porous Materials
Electrochemistry of Porous Materials

Porous materials continue to attract considerable attention because of their wide variety of scientific and technological applications, such as catalysis, shape- and size-selective absorption and adsorption, gas storage, and electrode materials. Both research and applications of porous materials—via electroanalysis, electrosynthesis,...

Combustion, Fourth Edition
Combustion, Fourth Edition

Combustion Engineering, a topic generally taught at the upper undergraduate and graduate level in most mechanical engineering programs, and many chemical engineering programs, is the study of rapid energy and mass transfer usually through the common physical phenomena of flame oxidation. It covers the physics and chemistry of this process and...

Fluid Dynamics and Transport of Droplets and Sprays
Fluid Dynamics and Transport of Droplets and Sprays

This book serves as both a graduate text and a reference for engineers and scientists exploring the theoretical and computational aspects of the fluid dynamics and transport of sprays and droplets. Attention is given to the behavior of individual droplets, including the effects of forced convection due to relative droplet-gas motion, Stefan...

Frommer's Moscow and St. Petersburg (Frommer's Complete)
Frommer's Moscow and St. Petersburg (Frommer's Complete)

Russia breathes superlatives: the world’s biggest country; its largest supplier of natural gas and second-largest oil producer; home of the planet’s longest railroads, busiest subway system (Moscow’s), and one of its deepest, biggest, and oldest lakes (Baikal, in Siberia). It even boasts balmy beach resorts (on the Black...

Bose-Einstein Condensation (The International Series of Monographs on Physics)
Bose-Einstein Condensation (The International Series of Monographs on Physics)

This book is an introductory text to the physics of Bose-Einstein condensation. This phenomenon, first predicted by Einstein in 1925 has been realized experimentally in 1995 in a remarkable series of experiments whose importance has been recognized by the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics. The condensate is actually a new state of...

Environmental Chemistry of Aerosols
Environmental Chemistry of Aerosols

Aerosol particles are ubiquitous in the Earth's atmosphere and are central to many environmental issues such as climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion and air quality. In urban environments, aerosol particles can affect human health through their inhalation.

Atmospheric aerosols originate from naturally occurring
