Hydrogen Energy Conversion and Management presents the challenges and solutions to the use of hydrogen as the energy source of the future. Divided into four parts, the book first provides an overview of hydrogen technology, including environmental sustainability, green hydrogen, and the fundamentals of the hydrogen economy and future energy security. Part 2, Production and Conversion, examines the latest technologies for efficiently and cost-effectively producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources while Part 3, Storage and Transportation, examines the latest technologies for efficiently and cost-effectively storing and transporting hydrogen. Finally, Part 4, Applications and Transition, critically analyses the challenges, solutions and implementation prospects. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners involved in the hydrogen economy and will also be of interest to graduates and PhD students on multidisciplinary subjects related to renewable energy.

Perversions and borderline states were, by accident of fate, Masud Khan's chief preoccupation in his clinical work during the last three decades of his life. In an earlier volume, The Privacy of the Self, he presented what he called the natural and private crystallization of his experience with his patients and teachers; notably, in the latter category, Anna Freud, John Rickman and D.W. Winnicott. In this later book he takes his cue from Freud who, as he says, diagnosed the sickness of Western Judaeo-Christian cultures in terms of "the person alienated from himself". Masud Khan's basic argument, succinctly stated in his Preface, is that "the pervert puts an impersonal object between his desire and his accomplice. This object can be a stereotype fantasy, a gadget or a pornographic image. All three alienate the pervert from himself, as, alas, from the object of desire".With its wealth of clinical and theoretical insights, Masud Khan's Alienation in Perversions makes a major contribution to our understanding of perversion formation.

The Privacy of the Self was the first collection of papers showing the development of the author's thinking over twenty five years of clinical work. He was nurtured in the tradition of Anna Freud, John Rickman and D.W. Winnicott, but his contribution to psychoanalytic literature was a distinctive and personal one. What emerges from this book is the natural and private crystallization of his experiences with his patients and teachers.As he says in his preface: "Psychoanalysis is an extremely private discipline of sensibility and skill. The practice of psychoanalysis multiplies this privacy into a specialized relationship between two persons, who through the very nature of their exclusivity with each other change each other. The first thing I wish to say about my work reported in these papers is that my patients have helped me become and personalize my potential of thought, affectivity and effort into a way of life that I find deeply satisfying.

The 'hidden selves' that Masud Khan reveals to us in this third volume of his psychoanalytic writings are to be understood in two ways. Primarily, they are those aspects of the self which are inherent in, but unsuspected by, the individual concerned, and which need to be identified if that individual is to achieve a full and healthy self-awareness. More broadly, they are the ingredients of human nature which may not be evident on the surface but which can be brought out through literature or art, for example, or through the insights gained in psychoanalysis. In analysis, and over a period of time, both analyst and patient discover parts of their personality that were unknown to each other at the start. The person is not just a single 'self' but a collage of hidden selves; and one of the goals of psychoanalysis is to find out how this collage functions for the individual concerned - whether through symptomatology or through introspection.

The close relationship of patient and analyst, the gradual finding of one's self through the other, was elucidated by the author in two earlier books, "The Privacy of the Self" and "Alienation in Perversions." In this third book Masud Khan offers further evidence, mostly in the form of some remarkable case histories, of the rewards that can be achieved, by both parties, through the mutual endeavors of the psychoanalytic process.

Its influence extends far beyond the private discipline of psychoanalysis, for the subject explored is one which occurs widely in modern life and literature. The concluding chapter on pornography makes the point tellingly.

Had I followed another career perhaps my life would have been more dramatic and varied, but certainly not fuller. My relation with my patients has taught me the humility and necessity of the need of the other for one to be and become oneself."
