Power Plays: Energy Options in the Age of Peak Oil

Apress, 2012

Many people wonder: Are we really running out of oil, or is it all a ruse to drive prices up? Is nuclear power safe and economical? Is solar energy really the key to providing plenty of carbon-free energy? Do we have enough natural gas or coal to make any loss of oil production irrelevant?

In Power Plays: Energy Options in the...

Quantifying and Controlling Catastrophic Risks

Academic Press, 2008

The perception, assessment and management of risk are increasingly important core principles for determining the development of both policy and strategic responses to civil and environmental catastrophes. Whereas these principles were once confined to some areas of activity i.e. financial and insurance, they are now widely used in civil and...

Advanced Tomographic Methods in Materials Research and Engineering (Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials)

Oxford University Press, 2008

Tomography provides three-dimensional images of heterogeneous materials or engineering components, and offers an unprecedented insight into their internal structure.
