Physical Limits to Economic Growth - Perspectives of Economic, Social, and Complexity Science (Paperback): Roberto Burlando,... Physical Limits to Economic Growth - Perspectives of Economic, Social, and Complexity Science (Paperback)
Roberto Burlando, Angelo Tartaglia
R1,269 Discovery Miles 12 690 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

The debate on the physical limits and constraints to the economic growth of globalized society is now widespread. This book explores the physical and economic aspects of the conflict between humans, with their thoughtless focus on growth through material production, and environmental constraints. In the context of the looming shortage of material resources and the latest science on climate change, Physical Limits to Economic Growth offers new insights which provide a broad and comprehensive picture of the conflict between humans and environmental constraints. The authors' approach goes beyond the boundaries of specialized disciplines to explore climate change, resource depletion, technical innovation and the interactions between these within the socio-economic-institutional systems we live in. This volume looks at opportunities for rethinking these systems if we moved away from fossil fuel dependence, while considering the status of current mainstream economic thinking around this subject. Physical Limits to Economic Growth provides a genuine interdisciplinary examination of the physical limits to economic growth. It will be of interest to both students and academics in various disciplines in the areas of natural sciences, climate change and economics.

Physics: The Ultimate Adventure (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016): Ross Barrett, Pier Paolo Delsanto,... Physics: The Ultimate Adventure (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016)
Ross Barrett, Pier Paolo Delsanto, Angelo Tartaglia
R2,359 Discovery Miles 23 590 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explains - in simple terms and with almost no mathematics - the physics behind recent and glamorous discoveries in Cosmology, Quantum Mechanics, Elementary Particles (e.g. Higgs bosons) and Complexity Theory. En route it delves into the historical landmarks and revolutions that brought about our current understanding of the universe. The book is written mainly for those with little scientific background, both college students and lay readers alike, who are curious about the world of modern physics. Unsolved problems are highlighted and the philosophical implications of the sometimes astounding modern discoveries are discussed. Along the way the reader gains an insight into the mindset and methodology of a physicist.
