Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. During the past year, energy prices have fluctuated wildly, from historic highs in the winter and spring to the lowest wholesale prices in decades a few short months later. As the largest user of fossil-fuel energy, the United States is the key player in the world's energy markets, and our nation's energy policy (or lack thereof) has become a subject of increasing concern. Energy: Science, Policy, and the Pursuit of Sustainability is an essential primer on energy, society, and the environment. It offers an accessible introduction to the energy problem - its definition, analysis, and policy implications. Current patterns of energy use are without question unsustainable over the long term, and our dependence on fossil fuels raises crucial questions of security and self-sufficiency. This volume addresses those questions by examining the three broad dimensions of the issue: physical, human, and political-economic. Chapters consider: - the laws of nature and the impacts of energy use on our physical and ecological life-support systems - the psychological, social, and cultural factors that determine how we use energy - the role of government actions in adjusting costs, influencing reso.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 1680. London cooks in summer heat. Protestors light bonfires and riot, angry that James, the Duke of York - who is openly Catholic - will succeed his brother as King. When violent men kidnap and murder a rich merchant's daughter - even though her ransom was paid - King Charles II orders Harry Hunt of the Royal Society to help investigate. Harry has proved his worth before. A second woman goes missing: Elizabeth Thynne, England's richest heiress. Her husband receives a ransom letter from the same kidnappers. He is a close friend of the King's son, the Duke of Monmouth. Monmouth is Protestant and popular, preferred by most to succeed his father despite his illegitimacy. Under pressure from powerful men to find the killers and rescue Elizabeth, Harry uncovers a disturbing link to Bethlehem Hospital, better known as 'Bedlam.' But he is falsely accused of the crimes. Desperate to prove his innocence - and to find the real culprits - his search takes him from Rotherhithe to Whitehall Palace, and to the house of the famous portrait painter, Sir Peter Lely, in Covent Garden. And back to Bedlam again. By its end, Harry holds the Monarchy's future in his hands.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Both were outsiders. Neither attended university. Above all, both loved political sparring--often together, in the epic parliamentary battles of the start of the century. Theirs was a deeply personal friendship. Their real shared passion, however, was politics. For ten years between 1904 and 1914 they met together every day for a private discussion. Lloyd George profoundly influenced Churchill's political philosophy and played a formative role in his career. Drawing on unseen family archive material, Robert Lloyd George provides an intimate biography of the friendship between his great-grandfather and Churchill, from their public politics to their private passions. He throws fresh light on the two greatest statesmen of twentieth century Britain in peace and in war, and on one of the most enduring friendships in modern politics.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Lloyd once again infuses his world with the sights, sounds, and smells of the late 17th century.for what's bound to be one of the best historical novels of the year." - CrimeReads In a thrilling sequel to The Bloodless Boy -a New York Times Best New Historical Novel of 2021 - combining the color and adventure of Alexandre Dumas and the thrills of Frederick Forsyth - early scientists Harry Hunt and Robert Hooke of the Royal Society stumble on a plot to kill the Queen of England . . . London, 1679 - A year has passed since the sensational attempt to murder King Charles II, but London is still a viper's nest of rumored Catholic conspiracies, and of plots against them in turn. When Harry Hunt - estranged from his mentor Robert Hooke - is summoned to the remote and windswept marshes of Norfolk, he is at first relieved to get away from the place. But in Norfolk, he finds that some Royal workers shoring up a riverbank have made a grim discovery - the skeleton of a dwarf. Harry is able to confirm that the skeleton is that of Captain Jeffrey Hudson, a prominent member of the court once famously given to the Queen in a pie. Except no one knew Hudson was dead, because another man had been impersonating him. The hunt for the impersonator, clearly working as a spy, will take Harry to Paris, another city bedeviled by conspiracies and intrigues, and back, with encounters along the way with a flying man and a cross-dressing swordswoman - and to the uncovering of a plot to kill the Queen and all the Catholic members of her court. But where? When? The Poison Machine is a nail-biting and brilliantly imagined historical thriller that will delight readers of its critically acclaimed predecessor, The Bloodless Boy.…
