Comprehensive in scope and accessible to all reader levels, The Encyclopedia of Global Warming Science and Technology covers a vast range of topics, concepts, issues, processes, and scientists sifted and melded from the many scientific and technological fields. These include atmospheric chemistry, paleoclimatology, biogeography, oceanography, geophysics, glaciology, soil science, and more.Bruce E. Johansen digests the explosion of scientific work on global warming that has been published since 1980 and presents it in a set that is sure to be the indispensable standard reference work on the topic. The information here is of importance to just about everyone on the planet—for the findings of global warming science and technology should dictate the choices we make today to secure our common future. This encyclopedia will prove useful for many different types of professionals, inasmuch as global warming science informs public policy debates, applied science, and technology in such fields… More >>

The Encyclopedia of Global Warming Science and Technology

This series of case studies shows how real teachers across the primary age range have put design and technology into practice as a focus for their topic work. Through these examples Hind Makiya and Margaret Rogers show what is meant by design and technology in the primary school and how problem solving activities can be used to fulfill the requirements of the National Curriculum across several subjects. In the process they tackle such areas of concern as the gender and cultural implications of design and technology, topic planning and classroom organization and whole school curriculum policies….

Design and Technology in the Primary School: Case Studies for Teachers

Approaching reliability from the standpoint of substance rather than advanced probability theory and higher mathematics, this book separates the hows from the whys at a level that is relevant to those with only limited technical training as well as those seeking a more analytical framework. Its three-fold presentation (1) describes how reliability is defined and specified; (2) addresses methods of designing reliability; and (3) covers techniques for proving and improving the reliability of a system….

The Army’s ability to meet public and congressional demands to destroy expeditiously all of the U.S. declared chemical weapons would be enhanced by the selection and acquisition of appropriate explosive destruction technologies (EDTs) to augment the main technologies to be used to destroy the chemical weapons currently at the Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD) in Kentucky and the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) in Colorado. The Army is considering four EDTs for the destruction of chemical weapons: three from private sector vendors, and a fourth, Army-developed explosive destruction system (EDS).

This book updates earlier evaluations of these technologies, as well as any other viable detonation technologies, based on several considerations including process maturity, process efficacy, process throughput, process safety, public and regulatory acceptability, and secondary waste issues, among others. It also provides detailed information on each of the requirements at BGAD and PCD and … More >>
