Metal-Based Catalysts For Advanced Oxidation Processes - Applications In The Degradation Of Organic Pollutants

~~292,91€~~ 263,62€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are well established as techniques for the oxidative degradation environmental decontamination. They are particularly key in the removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants in potable water and in industrial wastewater. Central to the efficacy of AOPs is the in-situ generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide anions (O2•-), which can be significantly enhanced through the use of suitable catalytic systems. Among these, metal-based heterogeneous catalysts have been extensively investigated for their high catalytic performance, stability, and potential for regeneration and reuse in AOPs. This book brings together the application of these catalysts in AOPs for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants in water treatment, across both laboratory-scale investigations and industrial-scale implementations. The book explores various classes of catalysts, including metal oxides, metal sulphides, metal polymers and more. It is a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of water treatment, environmental remediation or catalysis.

High Performance Supercapacitors From Waste Materials

~~240,09€~~ 216,08€ 10% IMEDIATO

 As the world grapples with the dual challenges of waste management and energy sustainability, the waste-to-energy (WTE) approach has emerged as a powerful solution. By repurposing waste materials into high performance supercapacitors, we can reduce waste, promote upcycling, and provide efficient energy storage solutions for a wide range of applications in an environmentally friendly manner. This book delves into the use of processed waste materials as electrode materials for supercapacitor applications, in an intriguing effort towards promotion of environmentally friendly approaches that align with the principles of sustainability and resource utilization. Waste-derived electrodes can offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, reduced environmental impact, and the potential for upcycling. Written by experts in the field, this book bridges the gap between waste management and advanced energy storage technology and is an excellent companion for academics and industry workers in the fields of energy storage, materials science and environmental sustainability.

Rambunctious Garden - Saving Nature In A Post-Wild World

de Emma Marris; Narrado por: Lisa Rost-Welling

~~18,99€~~ 17,09€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Bloomsbury presents… Rambunctious Garden by Emma Marris read by Lisa Rost-Welling "Remarkable . . . Emma Marris explores a paradox that is increasingly vexing the science of ecology, namely that the only way to have a pristine wilderness is to manage it intensively." —The Wall Street Journal A paradigm shift is roiling the environmental world. For decades people have unquestioningly accepted the idea that our goal is to preserve nature in its pristine, pre-human state. But many scientists have come to see this as an outdated dream that thwarts bold new plans to save the environment and prevents us from having a fuller relationship with nature. Humans have changed the landscapes they inhabit since prehistory, and climate change means even the remotest places now bear the fingerprints of humanity. Emma Marris argues convincingly that it is time to look forward and create the "rambunctious garden," a hybrid of wild nature and human management. In this optimistic book, readers meet leading scientists and environmentalists and visit imaginary Edens, designer ecosystems, and Pleistocene parks. Marris describes innovative conservation approaches, including rewilding, assisted migration, and the embrace of so-called novel ecosystems. Rambunctious Garden is short on gloom and long on interesting theories and fascinating narratives, all of which bring home the idea that we must give up our romantic notions of pristine wilderness and replace them with the concept of a global, half-wild rambunctious garden planet, tended by us.

Bird Sense - What It'S Like To Be A Bird

de Tim Birkhead; Narrado por: John Sackville

~~16,99€~~ 15,29€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Bloomsbury presents Bird Sense by Tim Birkhead, read by John Sackville What is it like to be a swift, flying at over one hundred kilometres an hour? Or a kiwi, plodding flightlessly among the humid undergrowth in the pitch dark of a New Zealand night? And what is going on inside the head of a nightingale as it sings, and how does its brain improvise? Bird Sense addresses questions like these and many more, by describing the senses of birds that enable them to interpret their environment and to interact with each other. Our affinity for birds is often said to be the result of shared senses - vision and hearing - but how exactly do their senses compare with our own? And what about a birds' sense of taste, or smell, or touch or the ability to detect the earth's magnetic field? Or the extraordinary ability of desert birds to detect rain hundreds of kilometres away - how do they do it? Bird Sense is based on a conviction that we have consistently underestimated what goes on in a bird's head. Our understanding of bird behaviour is simultaneously informed and constrained by the way we watch and study them. By drawing attention to the way these frameworks both facilitate and inhibit discovery, it identifies ways we can escape from them to seek new horizons in bird behaviour. There has never been a popular book about the senses of birds. No one has previously looked at how birds interpret the world or the way the behaviour of birds is shaped by their senses. A lifetime spent studying birds has provided Tim Birkhead with a wealth of observation and an understanding of birds and their behaviour that is firmly grounded in science.

Free Rein - How Horses Can Help Save Your Life

de Jock Hutchison

~~40,99€~~ 36,89€ 10% IMEDIATO

 The powerful and heart-warming story of how horses and humans can find happiness. On a remote Scottish farm, something remarkable happens. Broken people - the war wounded, the vulnerable, the desperate seekers of happiness or well-being - start to feel whole again. Because a man in a cowboy hat, helped by a large herd of horses, shows them how he learned to live. He has known great success but also suffered failures, humiliations and mental health challenges. And so have his horses. But they have found a way to heal. Even as a small child, Jock Hutchison was fascinated by horses. His first pony gave him an escape from a difficult home life and offered him solace. His career took him from Royal Marines officer to helicopter pilot but it ended abruptly. He ran a successful business but that culminated in a breakdown. Then horses called Jock back. He rediscovered their transformative power and in 2009 co-founded the charity HorseBack UK, initially for veterans recovering from injury but in a short time for everyone battling to find their path in life. Jock takes the reader on a vivid ride with a group of struggling teenagers as they learn how to work with their horses and with one another. On the farm, they leave their anxieties and their phones behind as, supported by his talented team, he shares powerful lessons from his own mistakes and triumphs. Inspirational and compelling, Free Rein is a story that shows how there is always a way forward, no matter how tough the challenges.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Bloomsbury presents P53: The Gene that cracked the cancer code by Sue Armstrong, read by Stephanie Beattie The BMA Medical Book Award-shortlisted story of the search for p53 - the most important gene in medicine. All of us have lurking in our DNA a most remarkable gene, which has a crucial job - it protects us from cancer. Known simply as p53, this gene constantly scans our cells to ensure that they grow and divide without mishap. If a cell makes a mistake in copying its DNA during the process of division, p53 stops it in its tracks, summoning a repair team before allowing the cell to carry on dividing. If the mistake is irreparable and the rogue cell threatens to grow out of control, p53 commands the cell to commit suicide. Cancer cannot develop unless p53 itself is damaged or prevented from functioning normally. This book tells the story of medical science's mission to unravel the mysteries of this crucial gene, and to get to the heart of what happens in our cells when they turn cancerous, highlighting the tremendous recent advances made in our understanding of cancer.
