home solar energy solutions?
Things as simple as removing screens from the south facing windows of your home to enhance solar space heating effects, or planting a deciduous tree on the south side of your home to shield your home from the summer sun, are very effective solar energy strategies.
From there you could extend all the way up to commercially available solar space heaters, solar water heaters, and solar voltaic systems, etc.

A Solar Manifesto $47.48 In the decade since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the response of the world’s governments and authorities to the threats to the global environment has been to enforce the reduction of energy consumption and harmful emissions–solutions primarily based around conventional energy resources and conventional thinking. The question is, though, whether this strategy is radical enough to address the key challenges now facing the environment, and whether it can be effective in avoiding catastrophe on a global scale. For Herman Scheer, the answer is a definite no. In this fully updated edition, he once more attacks the lack of political will to find answers outside of the conventional frame of reference. Climate change, pollution, deforestation, destruction of the ozone layer, poverty, and the population explosion are all problems created or exacerbated by the use of conventional energy. A decade after the first edition of this book, answers are now more urgently required than ever, as current policies serve merely to alleviate the escalating symptoms rather than find a cure for what could become a terminal affliction.Hermann Scheer shows that this crisis may yet be reversed – but that this can only happen through a fundamental change in political and economic strategies, paving the way towards a global solar energy economy sustained by new social principles. This book champions the replacement of fossil and nuclear fuels with solar energy as a real solution to the threat to the environment and associated social consequences. Scheer constructs a radical yet innovative political and economic model and argues the case with passion and conviction for the global solar economy as the route to a sustainable environment. |

Chasing the Sun: Solar Adventures Around the World $18.48 If millions of people in the developing world can use solar power, why can’t we in North America? The question immediately arises from this fascinating account of the author’s 12-year quest to bring solar power and light to people in the developing world who have no electricity. "Chasing the Sun" is a story of dreamers and doers who succeeded in their mission to make the world better by delivering nature’s energy to poor people and by building organizations to put the sun at their service in practical, affordable, and effective ways. A green energy development narrative that is fun and eye-opening, the book is also part autobiography. Author Neville Williams’ inspiring tale of trailblazing innovation describes: His founding the nonprofit Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) in 1990, which promoted solar power for a decade by setting up pilot solar rural electrification programs in 11 developing countries, including Zimbabwe, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and China His launching of the commercial Solar Electric Light Company in 1997, which became the SELCO group of companies that has overcome daunting challenges to bring solar electricity to 50,000 families in India, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam Filled with colorful characters, the book also features the enthusiasm of maverick devotees to the renewable energy boom of the 1980s and 1990s and their interplay with staid DC-based development institutions, as well as their unique perspective on global solutions to "energy poverty." It will be illuminating to all interested in the environment, development, renewable energy, socially responsible business, and our future at the end of the age of oil. Neville Williams was an award-winning journalist for many years who also worked as the national media director for Greenpeace. He remains involved with SELCO and is currently working on domestic solar initiatives from his Washington, DC, home. |

Advanced Thermodynamics for Engineers $163.59 Although the basic theories of thermodynamics are adequately covered by a number of existing texts, there is little literature that addresses more advanced topics. In this comprehensive work the author redresses this balance, drawing on his twenty-five years of experience of teaching thermodynamics at undergraduate and postgraduate level, to produce a definitive text to cover thoroughly, advanced syllabuses. The book introduces the basic concepts which apply over the whole range of new technologies, considering: a new approach to cycles, enabling their irreversibility to be taken into account; a detailed study of combustion to show how the chemical energy in a fuel is converted into thermal energy and emissions; an analysis of fuel cells to give an understanding of the direct conversion of chemical energy to electrical power; a detailed study of property relationships to enable more sophisticated analyses to be made of both high and low temperature plant and irreversible thermodynamics, whose principles might hold a key to new ways of efficiently covering energy to power (e.g. solar energy, fuel cells). Worked examples are included in most of the chapters, followed by exercises with solutions. By developing thermodynamics from an explicitly equilibrium perspective, showing how all systems attempt to reach a state of equilibrium, and the effects of these systems when they cannot, the result is an unparalleled insight into the more advanced considerations when converting any form of energy into power, that will prove invaluable to students and professional engineers of all disciplines. |

Conversations on Electric and Magnetic Fields in the Cosmos $196.81 Nobody has contributed more, or more deeply, to our understanding of the physics of astrophysical magnetofluids than Eugene Parker. Conversations on Electric and Magnetic Fields in the Cosmos provides those of us who have had the privilege of learning directly from him a chance to revisit the elegant insight, structure, and breezy wit that Parker brings to the subject. For those who have not had that privilege, this book provides lasting opportunity to visit with a master. –Eugene H. Levy, Rice University This small book, which describes the basic physics that governs the electrodynamics of the cosmos, is graced by insights the author gleaned during a lifelong fascination with the subject matter. We owe to him the explanation of many natural phenomena including how the solar wind blows and why its magnetic field lines form Archimedian spirals. Another of his creations, the a-? dynamo model affords us our understanding of how the magnetic fields of planets are maintained against resistive decay and why the Sun’s magnetic field reverses every eleven years. –Peter Goldreich, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton This is a book by one of the leaders in the field of plasma astrophysics. Parker sets the record straight on many misunderstandings concerning electric and magnetic fields in the cosmos. The book also presents a revealing picture of the author’s thinking and displays how he was able to arrive at such original solutions to so many important astrophysical problems. –Russell M. Kulsrud, author of Plasma Physics for Astrophysics This is a unique undertaking by a scientist who is one of the most accomplished and outstanding in our field. The book takes the readerfrom the elementary principles of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell’s equations to hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics equations. The author has intended this book to be conversations, as the title indicates. The style is informal but the physical ideas and concepts are presented with pre |

Culture and Agriculture: An Ecological Introduction to Traditional and Modern Farming Systems $119.4 Schusky offers a historical overview of the two major periods of agriculture–the Neolithic Revolution, which occurred when humans initally domesticated plants and animals, and the Neoclaric Revolution, which began with the introduction of fossil fuel into agriculture in the 20th century. He dramatizes the extensive changes that are occurring in modern agriculture due to the extensified use of fossil energy. The book details how the overdependence on fossil energy, with its looming exhaustion, is a major cause of pessimism about food production. The book also addresses the possible solutions to this scenario–conservation steps, an increase in the mix of solar energy, and an emphasis on human labor. |

Modern Astrodynamics: Fundamentals and Perturbation Methods $31.31 Newton’s laws of motion and his universal law of gravitation described mathematically the motion of two bodies undergoing mutual gravitational attraction. However, it is impossible to solve analytically the equation of motion for three gravitationally interacting bodies. This book discusses some techniques used to obtain numerical solutions of the equations of motion for planets and satellites, which are of fundamental importance to solar-system dynamicists and to those involved in planning the orbits of artificial satellites. The first part introduces the classical two-body problem and solves it by rigorously developing the six integrals of the motion, starting from Newton’s three laws of motion and his law of gravitation and then using vector algebra to develop the integrals. The various forms of the solution flow naturally from the integrals. In the second part, several modern perturbation techniques are developed and applied to cases of practical importance. For example, the perturbed two-body problem for an oblate planet or for a nonsymmetric rotating planet is considered, as is the effect of drag on a satellite. The two-body problem is regularized, and the nonlinear differential equation is thereby transformed to a linear one by further embedding several of the integrals. Finally, a brief sketch of numerical methods is given, as the perturbation equations must be solved by numerical rather than by analytical methods. |

Solar Labyrinth: Exploring Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun $27.95 Gene Wolfe’s BOOK OF THE NEW SUN has been hailed by both critics and readers as quite possibly the best science fiction novel ever written. And yet at the same time, like another masterpiece of fiction, James Joyce’s Ulysses, it’s been deemed endlessly complex and filled with impenetrable mysteries. Now, however, in the first book-length investigation of Wolfe’s literary puzzlebox, Robert Borski takes you inside the twisting corridors of the tetralogy and along the way reveals his solutions to many of the novel’s conundrums and riddles, such as who really is Severian’s lost twin sister (almost certainly not who you think) and why he believes the novel’s main character may not even be the torturer Severian. Furthermore, and in essay after essay, Borski demonstrates how a single master key will unlock many of the book’s secret relationships–all in the attempt to guide you through the labyrinth that is Gene Wolfe’s BOOK OF THE NEW SUN. |

The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time $94.99 Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a ‘black hole’ in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the presently known laws of physics break down. They will occur inside black holes, and in the past are what might be construed as the beginning of the universe. To show how these predictions arise, the authors discuss the General Theory of Relativity in the large. Starting with a precise formulation of the theory and an account of the necessary background of differential geometry, the significance of space-time curvature is discussed and the global properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations are examined. The theory of the causal structure of a general space-time is developed, and is used to study black holes and to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singualarities under certain conditions. These conditions are shown to be satisfied in the vicinity of stars of more than twice the solar mass near the endpoint of their nuclear evolution, and in a time-reversed sense for the universe as a whole. In the first case, the singularity in our past. A discussion of the Cauchy problem for General Relativity is also included in the book. |

Toms of Maine Stick, Soothing Calendula, 2.25 oz $5.7 Contains hops extract to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Gentle, effective, natural. Aluminum-free formula fights odor naturally. Weve discovered an innovative way to fight odor naturally – with hops! Our original formula includes active ingredients from hops, which inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria while maintaining effectiveness. Please let us know what you think! Kate and Tom Chappell Co-founders, Toms of Maine. No artificial or animal ingredients. No animal testing. Toms moves to wind energy. When Mark Dobrovolny, our Director of Product Supply, shared some of his ideas on energy conservation with Tom, the response was enthusiastic. Because solar energy can be challenging in the cool Maine climate, Mark investigated wind energy. The result? As of February 2006, we began purchasing wind energy credits to support 100% of the electricity consumption at our manufacturing facility. Carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 1.5 million pounds per year – the equivalent of planting 214 acres of trees or removing 138 cars from the road! Were so glad to hear that choices like these make a difference for our consumers. Thank you for using our natural care products, and please continue to let us know what you think! Lets talk natural solutions that work. Cruelty free. Lets talk about natural solutions that work.
