Energy for Your Life: Seven Energy Giving Habits You Can Use Every Day To Get, Keep & Use Your Energy Better & Stay Positive Longer (Energy for Your Life Series)

Author: Julia Hidy Publisher: Energized Living Multimedia; 2 edition (May 12, 2012) Energy for Your Life: Seven Energy Giving Habits was written so that every day, you can get enough energy to live your life well and stay healthy. You also want enough energy that you can share with your partner, family, friends, at work and live with purpose. To improve being tired, stressed, sleep-deprived, fatigued, distraught, sick or unable to do what you want and need to do, you’re going to have to modify a few habits so they give you energy instead. In Energy for Your Life, the seven major habits you have and use that will either give or take your energy from you are explored. You already use these seven habits every day, but often not in ways that will give you enough energy. What you can change is the way your habits, actions, reactions and intentions affect the quality and amount of energy you’ll get, have and can use and share. These seven pivotal habits cause you to either use your energy well. Or – when used negatively – your own habits will cause you to steal your own energy from yourself. Energy for Your Life is an experiential book so you can find more ways to use your energy better in your daily life. Julia Hidy introduces you to the Law of Essential Unity. This spiritual law underpins the other energy giving habits. Many people don’t believe they deserve to have good relationships or things in life. Or they put themselves down or allow others to upset, manipulate, dominate or control them. The Law of Essential Unity notes that we all deserve the best because at the level of pure energy, we are all created equal. By exploring and becoming energetic equals, we will no longer constrict our own energy levels. Our vibes will improve and we will find inner peace that we can share and use in our outer world. The other six energy giving habits help you release past negative programming, thoughts, emotions and perceptions from your self, family and society. The Law of Essential Unity helps you realize you are free to grow, heal, and to keep your thoughts, emotions and vibes high. Your life becomes simple when you can get access to all the energy, time, money and resources you need. You’ll find out how to stop over-thinking so you can use positive emotions more often. That will allow you have better quality ‘now’ moments. Julia’s book meshes philosophical and spiritual perspectives with practical questions and exercises. You’ll find you can have many more ways to get, keep and use your energy better every day. This book and the Energy for Your Life series are based on over a decade of research with spiritual and business leaders and thousands of others. Feedback was also received from many client and workshop participants’ experiments and successes. Julia began writing her Energy for Your Life Series after she’d been diagnosed with severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Before her illness, she’d managed billions in corporate projects. When three doctors told her she’d never recover from adrenal burnout and the CFS, she decided to learn everything she needed so she could get her energy back. After her illness, she ran another $1.5 B in corporate projects. Julia’s programs have helped exhausted people from all over the world: busy moms, burnt out Fortune100 CEO’s, seniors, teens and even high performance athletes have benefited from her insights. They’ve all found useful ways to feel, think and stay more positive and use their personal energy better. This is the first book in Julia’s Energy for Your Life series. The second book, Energy for Your Life: Be Positive – is a 31-day, one page per day series of reminders and journal ideas. The third book is Energy for Your Life: Think Positive. The fourth book: Energy for Your Life: I Am Equal will be out later this month. If you find the book’s content helpful, please leave a review so others can find and get more positive energy too.

Nuclear Energy: Principles, Practices, and Prospects

Author: David Bodansky Publisher: Springer (October 5, 2010) The world faces serious difficulties in obtaining the energy that will be needed in coming decades for a growing population, especially given the problem of climate change caused by fossil fuel use. This book presents a view of nuclear energy as an important carbon-free energy option. It discusses the nuclear fuel cycle, the types of reactors used today and proposed for the future, nuclear waste disposal, reactor accidents and reactor safety, nuclear weapon proliferation, and the cost of electric power. To provide background for these discussions, the book begins with chapters on the history of the development and use of nuclear energy, the health effects of ionizing radiation, and the basic physics principles of reactor operation. The text has been rewritten and substantially expanded for this edition, to reflect changes that have taken place in the eight years since the publication of the first edition and to provide greater coverage of key topics. These include the Yucca Mountain repository plans, designs for next-generation reactors, weapons proliferation and terrorism threats, the potential of alternatives to nuclear energy, and controversies about low-level radiation. Acclaim for the first edition: “…The book provides a superb background for scientists and those in technical fields. It provides probably all the information that many people, including government policy makers, will ever need…[a] well-written and balanced book. This book is recommended for anyone who wants a broad technical background on nuclear energy.” -American Journal of Physics Source: Amazon

Energy: Perspectives, Problems, and Prospects

Author: Michael McElory Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (December 21, 2009) The book offers a comprehensive account of how the world evolved to its present state in which humans now exercise a powerful, in many cases dominant, influence for global environmental change. It outlines the history that led to this position of dominance, in particular the role played by our increasing reliance on fossil sources of energy, on coal, oil and natural gas, and the problems that we are now forced to confront as a result of this history. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is greater now than at any time over at least the past 650,000 years with prospects to increase over the next few decades to levels not seen since dinosaurs roamed the Earth 65 million years ago. Comparable changes are evident also for methane and nitrous oxide and for a variety of other constituents of the atmosphere including species such as the ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons for which there are no natural analogues. Increases in the concentrations of so-called greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are responsible for important changes in global and regional climate with consequences for the future of global society which, though difficult to predict in detail, are potentially catastrophic for a world poorly equipped to cope. Changes of climate in the past were repetitively responsible for the demise of important civilizations. These changes, however, were generally natural in origin in contrast to the changes now underway for which humans are directly responsible. The challenge is to transition to a new energy economy in which fossil fuels will play a much smaller role. We need as a matter of urgency to cut back on emissions of climate altering gases such as carbon dioxide while at the same time reducing our dependence on unreliable, potentially disruptive, though currently indispensable, sources of energy such as oil, the lifeblood of the global transportation system. The book concludes with a discussion of options for a more sustainable energy future, highlighting the potential for contributions from wind, sun, biomass, geothermal and nuclear, supplanting currently unsustainable reliance on coal, oil and natural gas.

Silent Spring

Author: Rachel Carson Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was first published in three serialized excerpts in the New Yorker in June of 1962. The book appeared in September of that year and the outcry that followed its publication forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson’s passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world, and her eloquent book was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. It is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century. Source: Amazon

The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World

Author: Jeremy Rifkin Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan The Industrial Revolution, powered by oil and other fossil fuels, is spiraling into a dangerous endgame. The price of gas and food are climbing, unemployment remains high, the housing market has tanked, consumer and government debt is soaring, and the recovery is slowing. Facing the prospect of a second collapse of the global economy, humanity is desperate for a sustainable economic game plan to take us into the future. Here, Jeremy Rifkin explores how Internet technology and renewable energy are merging to create a powerful “Third Industrial Revolution.” He asks us to imagine hundreds of millions of people producing their own green energy in their homes, offices, and factories, and sharing it with each other in an “energy internet,” just like we now create and share information online. Rifkin describes how the five-pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution will create thousands of businesses, millions of jobs, and usher in a fundamental reordering of human relationships, from hierarchical to lateral power, that will impact the way we conduct commerce, govern society, educate our children, and engage in civic life. Rifkin’s vision is already gaining traction in the international community. The European Union Parliament has issued a formal declaration calling for its implementation, and other nations in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, are quickly preparing their own initiatives for transitioning into the new economic paradigm. The Third Industrial Revolution is an insider’s account of the next great economic era, including a look into the personalities and players — heads of state, global CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and NGOs — who are pioneering its implementation around the world.

Winner Take All: China’s Race for Resources and What It Means for the World

Author: Dambisa Moyo Publisher: Basic Books Commodities permeate virtually every aspect of modern daily living, but for all their importance—their breadth, their depth, their intricacies, and their central role in daily life—few people who are not economists or traders know how commodity markets work. Almost every day, newspaper headlines and media commentators scream warnings of impending doom–shortages of arable land, clashes over water, and political conflict as global demand for fossil fuels outstrips supply. The picture is bleak, but our grasp of the details and the macro shifts in commodities markets remain blurry. Winner Take All is about the commodity dynamics that the world will face over the next several decades. In particular, it is about the implications of China’s rush for resources across all regions of the world. The scale of China’s resource campaign for hard commodities (metals and minerals) and soft commodities (timber and food) is among the largest in history. To be sure, China is not the first country to launch a global crusade to secure resources. From Britain’s transcontinental operations dating back to the end of the 16th century, to the rise of modern European and American transnational corporations between the mid 1860’s and 1870’s, the industrial revolution that powered these economies created a voracious demand for raw materials and created the need to go far beyond their native countries. So too is China’s resource rush today. Although still in its early stages, already the breadth of China’s operation is awesome, and seemingly unstoppable. China’s global charge for commodities is a story of China’s quest to secure its claims on resource assets, and to guarantee the flow of inputs needed to continue to drive economic development. Moyo, an expert in global commodities markets, explains the implications of China’s resource grab in a world of diminishing resources. Source: Amazon
