Nonimaging Optics in Solar Energy (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology, Science, and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35–40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions. The approach provides a formalism that allows the design of optical devices that approach the maximum physically attainable geometric concentration...

Harnessing Solar Heat (Lecture Notes in Energy)

Springer, 2013

Systems engineered by man to harness solar heat in a controlled manner now include a diverse range of technologies each serving distinctive needs in particular climate contexts. This text covers the breadth of solar energy technologies for the conversion of solar energy to provide heat, either as the directly-used output or as an...

What We Could Have Done With the Money: 50 Ways to Spend the Trillion Dollars We've Spent on Iraq

Hyperion, 2008

The war in Iraq is not only controversial, it's also astronomically expensive. Now Rob Simpson answers the question many concerned Americans have been asking: Wasn't there some other way the government could have spent one trillion of our tax dollars?

What We Could Have Done with the Money presents 50 thought-provoking spending...

An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms (Complex Adaptive Systems)

MIT Press, 1998

Science arises from the very human desire to understand and control the world. Over the course of history, we
humans have gradually built up a grand edifice of knowledge that enables us to predict, to varying extents, the
weather, the motions of the planets, solar and lunar eclipses, the courses of diseases, the rise and fall...
