Book Description
The Chernobyl disaster of April 1986 confronted Europe with an unprecedented, though not unforeseeable, environmental risk. This investigative analysis studies why key European countries responded in different ways to the nuclear disaster, and what can be learned from it.
The author details why the accident was defined differently in various countries, why actions were or were not taken, and what was learned about the management of nuclear risk. Furthermore, Liberatore studies the short-term and long-term responses and consequences of Chernobyl not only in specific countries, but within the European Union as a whole. Liberatore also provides a policy communication model to illustrate the interaction among the key personnel in such incidents: the scientists, the politicians, the interest groups, and the mass media. The author's focus upon "uncertainty management" is a compelling account for all who seek to understand and improve the practical management of transboundary risks.

—Educational Book Review
Next to the nuclear industry, the largest producer of contaminants in the air, land, and water is the electronics industry. Silicon Valley hosts the highest density of Superfund sites anywhere in the nation and leads the country in the number of temporary workers per capita and in workforce gender inequities. Silicon Valley offers a sobering illustration of environmental inequality and other problems that are increasingly linked to the globalization of the world's economies.
In
The Silicon Valley of Dreams, the authors take a hard look at the high-tech region of Silicon Valley to examine environmental racism within the context of immigrant patterns, labor markets, and the historical patterns of colonialism. One cannot understand Silicon Valley or the high-tech global economy in general, they contend, without also understanding the role people of color play in the labor force, working in the electronic industry's toxic environments. These toxic work environments produce chemical pollution that, in turn, disrupts the ecosystems of surrounding communities inhabited by people of color and immigrants. The authors trace the origins of this exploitation and provide a new understanding of the present-day struggles for occupational health and safety.
The Silicon Valley of Dreams will be critical reading for students and scholars in ethnic studies, immigration, urban studies, gender studies, social movements, and the environment, as well as activists and policy-makers working to address the needs of workers, communities, and industry.

Groundbreaking.......2005-02-11
"The Silicon Valley of Dreams" by David Pellow and Lisa Sun-Hee Park is a groundbreaking book that connects the environmental justice (EJ) movement with struggles pertaining to immigration, gender, workplace, and globalization. The authors present a new historiography of Santa Clara County, California that reveals a pattern of exploitation of people and resources dating from the Spanish Colonial period to the present. The book makes a compelling case that sustainability will remain elusive as long as for-profit capitalism rules the day.
Pellow and Park study the area's historical development to find common threads between the past and the present. Each economic period was marked by the despoilation and depletion of California's natural resources, and in all cases, the production system was characterized by the exploitation of predominantly poor, immigrant and female labor.
Interestingly, the authors show how the powerful have been consistently supported by their government sponsors even as the rights of the poor have been systematically denied. We find that the Spanish government's funding of the missionaries was not substantially different from the U.S. government's support of the California gold mining industry of the 1800s, the canneries of the early to mid twentieth century or the highly lucrative defense industry of today. Yet the indigenuous peoples and the poor immigrant workers who have labored in the fields and the factories have been consistently denied their political and economic rights. In this light, the fact that the poor suffer disproportionately from environmental injustices should not be surprising, or that the struggle to overcome the powerful interests that profit from the system remains difficult.
The authors show how the electronics manufacturing that dominates Silicon Valley today is not the "clean" industry that is often promoted by corporate public relations firms. We learn how the so-called "immaterial" economy is in fact produced with enormous amounts of energy inputs and demanding physical labor. Management's criminal silence on issues pertaining to workplace safety and the pollution of the local environment clashes severely with the industry's oft-repeated hyperbole about the open and empowered society that is purportedly fostered through information technology.
The author's analysis is supported with moving testimonies from flesh-and-blood workers who have suffered the ill effects of toxic exposure. Their heart-wrenching stories bring home the human costs of our high-tech culture in a deeply compelling way. But the authors also relate how grass-roots organizations have won modest victories in their attempts to protect workers and the community from harm. Clearly, the empowerment of women and minorities and respect for the environment is critical to achieving a sustainable and egalitarian society.
I recommend this highly readable, insightful and important book to everyone.
Book Description
This book explains the fast moving world of the new nanotechnology and who controls it, ranging from medical, energy, computing, and even military interests. It explores the potential consequences--the upsides as well as the downsides - for individuals, the environment, and relations between the powers. Nanotechnology could bridge or widen the gap between developing and industrialised countries - that is a political decision that civil society must address.

Demand accountability.......2006-08-03
"Nanotechnology" by Toby Shelley is an excellent introduction on the topic of nanotechnology and how it might impact our lives, for better and worse. This concise and highly readable book helps the layperson understand how nanotechnology is a science that is currently being controlled by the powerful to benefit elite interests. As a virtually unregulated industry, the author believes that it is imperative for the public to begin to demand accountability before businesses and governments make risky, short-sighted decisions that cause irreparable harm to us all.
Mr. Shelley describes how nanotechnology will impact the energy, medical and information technology sectors in the short, intermediate and long range. Incremental improvements in materials and processes might eventually point the way towards paradigm-shifting advances that could disrupt major industries and shift the balance of military power. The author details how the advanced industrial countries of the world are leading the way in research and development in order to protect their economic advantages and maintain military superiority. In this light, it is not surprising when we learn that the U.S. government has made nanotechnology a top priority with numerous projects sponsored by NASA, DARPA, DoD, DoE and other key agencies.
Mr. Shelley explains that there is much potential good. Nanotechnology will be used to develop lighter and stronger materials for high-mileage vehicles; more efficient fuel and solar cells will help speed the transition away from fossil fuels; and so on. But the author cautions us that there are many unknowns that need to be better understood before we release nanomaterials and nanoparticles into the environment. At the production level, the effects on workers exposed to nanotechnology during the manufacturing and handling processes is unknown, and the proper disposal of waste materials has not been rigorously studied. At the retail level, there is no requirement for manufacturers to label their products nor are there any special requirements to assure that nanotechnology products have been tested for safety. In practice, this means that consumers may be unknowingly applying sunscreens that contain nanoparticles and have no idea what health risks they may be acquiescing to when the lotion is absorbed into the skin, to cite just one example.
Mr. Shelley is rightly concerned about the ends to which robocop-like supersoldiers might be used and the likelihood of a nanotechnological arms race. The author also muses about the ripple effects that changing manufacturing practices might have for workers, what shrinking raw commodities markets might mean for poor exporting nations, how invasive new surveillance technologies might impact our civil liberties, and other related issues. Clearly, dialogue is needed at multiple levels of society if we wish to channel the science of nanotechnology in a socially beneficial direction. To that end, the author proposes a number of sound, common-sense ideas that deserve to be widely discussed.
I highly recommend this important book to everyone.
Book Description
How much will nuclear energy cost relative to other means of getting rid of carbon dioxide emissions? What will be the risks of catastrophic accidents if we build reactors at the rate of one a week or more, cookie-cutter style, around the world? What about the risks of proliferation and terrorist attacks and nuclear waste? This book provides a meticulously researched analysis of the risks of using nuclear energy to combat global warming. Were there no alternative, the severity of the threat facing humankind and other species from global climate change might warrant serious consideration of the risks of nuclear energy. But as Insurmountable Risks convincingly shows, there are far safer economical alternatives.

What holds nuclear power back? As documented in this book:.......2007-10-13
1. It is more expensive today than renewables when decommissioning costs and waste disposal are included.
2. In the intermediate time frame, it is more expensive than LNG or (projected) coal gasification + CO2 sequestration.
3. Yucca Mt is a flawed repository. For example, it is an oxidizing not reducing environment, which will speed corrosion. Waste encapsulating materials are "exotic" man-made alloys that have existed for less than 100 years. These are supposed to operate normally for 100,000+ years. The site is riddled with cracks and clear evidence of past volcanism.
4. All reactor designs that could be deployed soon enough to even slightly mitigate climate change (Gen III+) generate copious amounts of waste that can be reprocessed to isolate and expedite to bomb-grade. "Just 1% of the enrichment capacity required by the global growth scenario's reference case would be enough to make between 175 and 310 nuclear weapons each year." (p. 114). If you think that the standoff with Iran over its NPT-rights are tricky, note that new reprocessing techniques are much less energy intensive and much more covert than centrifuges, heightening difficulties in detecting a parallel weapons program.
5. The industry has a history of "normalizing deviance", only to be surprised when e.g. corroded reactor vessels are found. Reactors are being relicensed for 40 years, and there are discussions of going to 60 years or more without evidence of a skeptical and cautious mindset.
This book is very impressive in its documentation and attempt at balance, and is remarkably cheap but well made with relatively few typos. It is a detailed and comprehensive summary, and should be read by anyone trying to assess our energy options and who cares about the world we are leaving for our children. With oil supplies set to decline from their current peak within the next 5 years, Mexican oil production crashing, natural gas supplies in North America no longer growing, all without official recognition of clear trends, we have few routes forward. Can wind and solar fill the gap as nuclear plants reach the point where they become recurring maintenance nightmares?
This book is best read with Megawatts and Megatons: The Future of Nuclear Power and (see my review), which examines some Gen IV concepts. Perhaps we can return to nuclear power in a few decades after more work on those designs, which rethink the problems while keeping sustainability and stewardship at the forefront. Perhaps a thorium based approach, with transmutation and other tricks? But this book made clear to this physicist that Gen III+ plants should not go forward in any number that would have a significant effect on net power generation or global climate change.

Book Description
Many parts of the developing world are subject to variable and extreme climate, the impacts of which impede development and point to the need to improve the understanding and management of climate risks. These needs are being amplified by human-caused climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in its 2001 report that much of the developing world is highly vulnerable to adverse impacts from climate change. But the IPCC also concluded that the vulnerabilities of developing countries are too little studied and too poorly understood to enable determination of adaptation strategies that would be effective at reducing risks. Climate Change and Adaptation and its companion volume Climate Change and Vulnerability, resulting from the work of the Assessments of Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change (AIACC) project launched by the IPCC in 2002, are the first to provide a comprehensive investigation of the issues at stake.
Climate Change and Adaptation covers current practices for managing climate risks to food security, water resources, livelihoods, human health and infrastructure, deficits between current practices and needs for effective management of climate risks, the changing nature of the risks due to human-caused climate change, strategies for adapting to climate change to lessen the risks, and the need to integrate these strategies into development planning and resource management. The book also identifies obstacles to effective adaptation and explore measures needed to create conditions that are favorable to climate change adaptation. The findings and lessons will be of use to policymakers and managers responsible for understanding and avoiding potentially adverse effects from climate change on sustainable development, food security, agriculture, water resources, forests, fisheries, grazing lands, biodiversity and public health. Citizen activists who are concerned about reducing the threats from climate change to the poor, sustainable development, biodiversity, and sensitive environmental systems and resources will learn about options for management of the threats.

Book Description
This book goes beyond the analysis offered by typical works on this subject to propose real solutions to problems caused by changes in the earth's climate. From new ways to cut energy consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions to discussions of the possibilities of sea walls and climate-altering technologies, Engineering Response to Global Climate Change presents new conceptual tools and suggests research necessary for correcting and alleviating problems caused by global warming. Engineers are just now being asked to consider the problems of climate change and the possible technological responses. This complete reference covers the whole range of potential impacts of climate change and their engineering solutions. Of special interest is the chapter on geoengineering, which suggests how engineers may someday be able to intervene in planetary processes to reduce the effects of global warming. Edited by a regional director of the National Institute for Global Environmental Change and offering the collective expertise of a team of expert authors, each renowned in his or her field, this book offers thorough coverage of this important topic from an engineering and technology perspective.

unique, competent, extremely useful.......1998-03-13
If you have a genuine interest in climate change issues you may wish to make a serious effort to find this book despite its steep price and limited distribution. It addresses the basic situation in a forthright fashion and in terms familiar and accessible to a general engineering or physical science audience, in brief. The analysis is succinct and fair, even going so far as to point out (as I myself try to do) that the worse-than-consensus scenarios get much less attention than the better-than-consensus ones. However, the focus of the book is not the issue of climate sensitivity, nor the pseudo-issue of "whether to believe in global warming". The book focuses on realistic responses and realistic time frames in which to accomplish them. Rigorous arguments are presented, not avoiding recourse to mathematics, chemistry and physics. References to primary peer reviewed literature are provided in abundance. Some of the better informed gadflies on this issue will be gratified to see that substantial space is given both to energy demand reduction and to geo-engineering solutions. (Proponents of these approaches often seem to find them mutually exclusive, which of course an engineering point of view as presented in this volume does not.) This book addresses the serious matter of climate change causes and responses with appropriate respect for the scales involved, in all respects. The general public has difficulty absorbing that an issue can be timely without being urgent, and very large without being apocalyptic. Engineers are used to dealing with questions of scale and this book can go a long way toward putting matters into a fair perspective for a reasonably competent readership, as well as elucidating the spectrum of promising response strategies. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has any idea if, when, and how the level of competence exhibited in this book will enter the discourse of the general public on this matter, or how, in the larger sense, a distractible and information-overloaded democracy can deal with matters which are subtle without being (as some nay-sayers venture in the matter of global climate change) particularly intractable.
