A collaborative effort from a number of Danish companies, research institutions, organisations and developers presents their contributions on sustainability. Spanning vastly divergent fields of expertise, they present a number of existing innovative solutions and a great deal of know-how covering renewable energy, sustainable construction and sustainable urban development. These fields are central to combating the climate challenges facing us, which no one nation, country or continent can deal with single-handed. Very up to date, very innovative, a must for every library, which has books on design for 2011 and beyond.

A physicist himself, Gino Segrè writes about what scientists do and why they do it with intimacy, clarity, and passion. In Faust in Copenhagen, he evokes the fleeting, magical moment when physics and the world was about to lose its innocence forever. Known by physicists as the miracle year, 1932 saw the discovery of the neutron and antimatter, as well as the first artificially induced nuclear transmutations. However, while scientists celebrated these momentous discoveries which presaged the nuclear era and the emergence of big science?during a meeting at Niels Bohr’s Copenhagen Institute, Europe was moving inexorably toward totalitarianism and war.

This handbook also gives information on ecology, distribution and practical use of lichens. Undoubtedly valuable for both amateur and specialist.
