Free DownloadGreen: The History of a Color by Michel Pastoureau, translated by Jody Gladding
English | August 24, 2014 | ISBN: 069115936X | True EPUB | 240 pages | 230 MB
In this beautiful and richly illustrated book, the acclaimed author of Blue and Black presents a fascinating and revealing history of the color green in European societies from prehistoric times to today. Examining the evolving place of green in art, clothes, literature, religion, science, and everyday life, Michel Pastoureau traces how culture has profoundly changed the perception and meaning of the color over millennia―and how we misread cultural, social, and art history when we assume that colors have always signified what they do today.

English | ISBN: 1609387201 | 2020 | 230 pages | PDF | 2 MB
At the center of what was once the tallgrass prairie, Iowa has stood out for clearing the land and becoming one of the most productive agricultural states in the nation. But its success is challenged by multiple issues including but not limited to a decline in union representation of meatpacking workers; lack of demographic diversity; the advent of job-replacing mechanization; growing income inequality; negative contributions to and effects of climate change and environmental hazards.

First James Lovelock, and recently Prince William and David Attenborough believe that we have reached a tipping point in the process of climate change. Whether they are right or not, it is certainly true that the impact of humankind upon the ecology of the earth has reached a point where real changes in human behaviour are required. If managers are to be enablers of planetary survival then we need to develop a new approach to risk, which explicitly includes ecological limits upon economic behaviour. This implies a fundamental reorientation of their role in allocating resources to minimise risk and maximise reward.
Free DownloadHell Is So Green : Search and Rescue over the Hump in World War II By William Diebold; Richard Matthews
2011 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 0762772735 | EPUB | 1 MB
Lt. William Diebold served in the Army’s Air Transport Command in the China-Burma-India theater of World War II and never fired a weapon in battle. Like many men who flew the Hump, he never saw on-the-ground combat, but he fought bravely by saving lives. Flyers who crossed the eastern Himalayas to keep the allied armies in China supplied with food, fuel, and weapons against Japan-preventing it from concentrating its power in the Pacific-often flew in zero-visibility, sometimes crashing into mountains or falling from the sky from Japanese Zero attacks. Those pilots who survived, Bill Diebold rescued. In Hell Is So Green, Diebold vividly describes the heat and stink of the jungle; the vermin, lice, and leeches; the towering mountains and roaring rivers. Rich with war slang, wisecracks, and old-fashioned phrases, his story reverberates with authenticity and represents the stories of many men that have never been told. After the author’s early death, the manuscript was put away in an attic-until now. Here, from the shadows of that attic, comes a compelling story of courage under fire and heroism for the ages.
Free DownloadCarrageenan-Mediated Green Synthesis of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for Various Applications by Arnold C Alguno, Arnold A Lubguban, Roberto M Malaluan
English | February 25, 2025 | ISBN: 1041005121 | 112 pages | EPUB | 0.79 Mb
This concise book delves into the innovative use of carrageenan in the green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticle synthesis. It explores this emerging approach’s mechanisms, highlighting its benefits over traditional syntheses. The unique properties imparted by carrageenan to metal oxide nanoparticles and how these enhance the material for various applications are also discussed. Furthermore, concerns regarding the scalability of this green synthesis are explored, particularly the challenges faced in large-scale production, reproducibility, economics, and environmental sustainability.Uniquely focuses on the carrageenan-mediated approach to metal oxide nanoparticle synthesisDetails the mechanisms specific to metal oxide nanoparticle synthesis and the relevance of carrageenan in nanoparticle enhancement (through doping)Covers the scalability and reproducibility of this emerging approach to bridge research and industrial productionThis book serves as a primer for researchers and advanced students in materials science, chemistry, and chemical engineering to aid them in connecting their existing knowledge with the related peer-reviewed literature.
