Найти книгу: "Ciudad Carbon Destartalada"

Inferknow es un barrio lleno de fallas. Para que un amanecer hermoso aparezca sobre el desvencijado medio ambiente, la ciudad necesitaria una reconstruccion total. Ezekiel jura alejarse de Gloria hasta que tenga el dinero suficiente para sacar a su madre del burdel Buenas Noches. Su decision lo hace correr detras de un autobus en movimiento con una voluntad imprudente. Rachel busca la ayuda de un hombre al que nunca amo. Caminan tomados de la mano como amantes para huir de una escena de un crimen. El oir que Faith corteja incesantemente a un cliente le rompe el corazon a Joel. Se queda pasmado al ver a su distanciada esposa en el burdel Buenas Noches. Un aura de rosas y espinas podridas lo obsesionan. ?Como podra hacer desaparecer la fragancia mixta del cuerpo de ella? Inferknow estaba organizada de forma mezquina. Las casas de bajo costo de construccion tosca se apinaban en grandes cantidades y nunca carecian de ocupantes. Con unas paredes delgadas que separaban a un inquilino del otro, las conversaciones en los apartamentos parecian una reunion en el ayuntamiento de la ciudad. En esta sociedad paralizada, ningun acto se mantenia privado. Los residentes observaban conscientemente todo tipo de peligro, desde botellas voladoras hasta balas perdidas. Las chozas que bordeaban la costa eran mas caras. Las personas que vivian cerca de la orilla del lago podian alimentar a los peces con sus desechos y respirar bocanadas de aire fresco. Los transeuntes se tapaban las narices debido al hedor apestoso que salia de las heces humanas en descomposicion. El vecindario necesitaba una intervencion ambientalista de salud antes de que un posible brote de enfermedad cayera sobre todos los habitantes. Cerca del canal abierto, algunos adolescentes jugaban cartas en un desgastado tablero de billar. Estallo una pelea porque algunos hicieron trampa y el tablero de billar se convirtio en un ring de lucha libre. Las chicas se turnaban para saltar las cuerdas que giraban rapidamente. Un nino de seis anos, lloraba con medio cubo de bollos frios sobre la cabeza. El nino recordaba lo que su madre le habia advertido. ‘No regrese con un solo bollo o de lo contrario, tendras tu lengua para cenar. ?Esta claro? El asintio. Tuvo suerte. Unos gansteres le preguntaron la razon de su angustia. Los gansteres le compraron la merienda completa y la distribuyeron a los ninos que estaban alrededor. Una mujer, que fumaba un tabaco junto a un tanque de agua, le dio unas palmaditas en la espalda y le dio doscientos Nairas. Doblo el dinero en pequenos pliegues, que escondio en su cabello tupido y le hizo un saludo militar. La ciudad era un lugar para hombres, mujeres y ninos ingeniosos con extremidades nerviosas. La pereza solo traia hambre, denigracion y opresion; los mendigos no luchaban en estas calles. La poblacion era multifacetica. Los funcionarios asignados al censo siempre tenian dificultades para mantener al dia el numero de personas que vivian en Inferknow. Los residentes no respetaban las normas morales de la sociedad, solo los dictados de la dura vida de la calle, el duro destino de la realidad. El imponente sistema opresor no asustaba a estas personas. Su preocupacion era como manejar las circunstancias del mundo lo mejor que podian. Creian que un gran instrumento de cambio podria nacer entre uno de ellos; solo necesitaban una razon para continuar la lucha y quizas habria una luz al final del tunel.

Es dificil para un hombre moderno darse cuenta de sus deseos y fantasias eroticas. Todavia no hay lugares publicos donde de forma gratuita o por una tarifa moderada uno podria retirarse con una pareja sexual y disfrutar de experiencias eroticas brillantes y ricas.

With Profiting from Clean Energy, respected investment analyst Richard Asplund provides an in-depth explanation of the technology and industry structure behind various sectors of this field and in the process identifies more than 150 stocks related to clean energy. Along the way, Asplund discusses exactly what it takes to effectively invest in clean energy—whether it be through buying individual stocks, investing in green exchange-traded funds or mutual funds, or trading the biofuel and carbon credit markets.

Praise for Carbon Finance «A timely, objective, and informative analysis of the financial opportunities and challenges presented by climate change, including a thorough description of adaptive measures and insurance products for managing risk in a carbon constrained economy.» —James R. Evans, M. Eng. P. Geo., Senior Manager, Environmental Risk Management, RBC Financial Group «Climate change will have enormous financial implications in the years to come. How businesses and investors respond to the risks and opportunities from this issue will have an enormous rippling effect in the global economy. Sonia Labatt and Rodney White's insights and thoughtful analysis should be read by all who want to successfully navigate this global business issue.» —Andrea Moffat, Director, Corporate Programs, Ceres «In Carbon Finance, Labatt and White present a clear and accessible description of the climate change debate and the carbon market that is developing. Climate change is becoming an important factor for many financial sector participants. The authors illustrate how challenges and opportunities will arise within the carbon market for banking, insurance, and investment activities as well as for the regulated and energy sector of the economy.» —Charles E. Kennedy, Director and Portfolio Manager, MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc. «Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge of our generation. Its impact on the energy sector has implications for productivity and competitiveness. At the same time, environmental risk has emerged as a major challenge for corporations in the age of full disclosure. Carbon Finance explains how these disparate forces have spawned a range of financial products designed to help manage the inherent risk. It is necessary reading for corporate executives facing challenges that are unique in their business experience.» —Skip Willis, Managing Director Canadian Operations, ICF International «In this timely publication, Labatt and White succeed in communicating the workings of carbon markets, providing simple examples and invaluable context to the new and changing mechanisms that underpin our transformation to a carbon-constrained world. Carbon Finance will be the definitive guide to this field for years to come.» —Susan McGeachie, Director, Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, Graduate Faculty Member, University of Toronto; and Jane Ambachtsheer, Principal, Mercer Investment Consulting, Graduate Faculty Member, University of Toronto

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have novel properties that make them potentially useful in many applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science. These characteristics include extraordinary strength, unique electrical properties, and the fact that they are efficient heat conductors. Field emission is the emission of electrons from the surface of a condensed phase into another phase due to the presence of high electric fields. CNT field emitters are expected to make a breakthrough in the development of field emission display technology and enable miniature X-ray sources that will find a wide variety of applications in electronic devices, industry, and medical and security examinations. This first monograph on the topic covers all aspects in a concise yet comprehensive manner – from the fundamentals to applications. Divided into four sections, the first part discusses the preparation and characterization of carbon nanotubes, while part two is devoted to the field emission properties of carbon nanotubes, including the electron emission mechanism, characteristics of CNT electron sources, and dynamic behavior of CNTs during operation. Part three highlights field emission from other nanomaterials, such as carbon nanowalls, diamond, and silicon and zinc oxide nanowires, before concluding with frontier R&D applications of CNT emitters, from vacuum electronic devices such as field emission displays, to electron sources in electron microscopes, X-ray sources, and microwave amplifiers. Edited by a pioneer in the field, each chapter is written by recognized experts in the respective fields.
