The Climate Crisis is the most urgent part of a wider and deeper global environmental disaster. It is an existential threat to humanity. But it's not an isolated crisis: it must be seen as the most prominent symptom of a systemic failure of major systems in the US - of politics and economics, of information and education about history, energy, and science, even society and psychology. And despite slowly rising awareness, we are doing next to nothing about it, as we face a crucial tipping point, the triggering of an irreversible spiral of global heating.
The problem is illuminated in a broad and comprehensive yet readable manner. It's based on the idea that we have to notice and observe, then connect a lot of dots, in order to see and recognize the larger pattern.
The crisis results from our abuse of fossil-fueled power, combined with those other failures. So it will help to observe the role of Power, in all its forms, in our lives. This crisis represents what one think tank calls "a conceptual emergency." It says the world we have created is so complex and fast-moving that it defies our ability to understand or control it. So, the author argues, we need a widespread shift in consciousness, a political/economic revolution, and a coordinated global effort, if we are to leave our children with a remotely inhabitable Earth.
The entire human family needs to fundamentally change our thinking to imagine the simple, radical but feasible solution that is still possible - a combined political and economic revolution, in a race against time.

Описание: Explore the profession of engineering, and learn the tools you need to start strong in college. This book will introduce you to the engineering profession and give you an idea of what it will be like to major in engineering in college. It covers the wide range of engineering specialties, various career pathways, and the overall benefits of the earning an engineering degree. Yet this book aims to do more than simply build your excitement about studying engineering. It also means to provide an introduction to the tools that you will need to start strong once you begin college. This text provides a very basic introduction and overview of what we call 'engineering fundamentals' - the concepts that every engineer needs to know. Topics are presented in a straightforward manner that avoids the need for complicated mathematics, allowing for a focus on understanding and applying the concepts, rather than getting bogged down in the technical solution. Key Features
Discussions on what engineers do, the various engineering specialties, and the skills and traits common to all successful engineers
Details what an engineering education entails, and how students can set themselves up for success both in college admissions and in engineering school
Considerations in choosing an engineering school and on pursuing advanced degrees
"Professional Profiles" of real-life practicing engineers provide a first-hand perspective on the wide range of career paths available to those with an engineering degree
Each concept is supported with sample problems and worked solutions, reinforcing theory and developing understanding via hands-on practice
"Engineering Application" case-studies help relate the presented concepts to real-world challenges and solutions
Spreadsheets are introduced as an important engineering tool, and their use in solving problems is developed via step-by-step learning activities
Relevant practice problems with selected answers allow for both additional practice and for measures of proficiency
