Energy from nuclear fission : splitting the atom / by Dickmann, Nancy,author.(CARDINAL)331568;
Includes bibliographical references (page 31) and index.What is energy? -- Why use nuclear energy? -- Splitting the atom -- Nuclear fuel -- Inside a reactor -- Types of reactors -- How "green" is nuclear energy? -- Dangers and disasters -- A nuclear world -- The case against nuclear energy -- The case for nuclear energy -- The future is...fusion? -- Power up!"Earth has a limited supply of fossil fuels, and in the near future this supply will come to an end. However, more people live on the planet than ever in its history--and they all need energy. One of the ways in which we can meet this increasing demand for energy is through nuclear power. Nuclear power stations do not drain our planet of its resources, and they can supply a seemingly limitless source of energy. Discover more about nuclear energy, how it is created and harnessed, and the controversies and challenges that surround it."--Ages 10-14.Grades 7 to 8.1050LAccelerated Reader AR

Brave green world : how science can save our planet / by Forman, Christopher,Author(DLC)nb2002096603; Asher, Claire,Author(DLC)no2021048892;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 250-251) and index.How we can harness cutting-edge biology and manufacturing to fight waste and pollution. In Nature, there is little chemical waste; nearly every atom is a resource to be utilized by organisms, ensuring that all the available matter remains in a perpetual cycle. By contrast, human systems of energy production and manufacturing are linear; the end product is waste. In Brave Green World, Chris Forman and Claire Asher show what our linear systems can learn from the efficient circularity of ecosystems. They offer an unblinkered yet realistic and positive vision of a future in which we can combine biology and manufacturing to solve our central problems of waste and pollution.

A short history of nearly everything / by Bryson, Bill.(CARDINAL)274319;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 517-527) and index.Lost in the cosmos. How to build a universe ; Welcome to the solar system; Reverend Evans's universe -- Size of the earth. Measure of things ; Stone-breakers ; Science red in tooth and claw ; Elemental matters -- New age dawns. Einstein's universe ; Mighty atom ; Getting the lead out ; Muster Mark's quarks ; Earth moves -- Dangerous planet. Bang! ; Fire below ; Dangerous beauty -- Life itself. Lonely planet ; Into the troposphere ; Bounding main ; Rise of life ; Small world ; Life goes on ; Good-bye to all that ; Richness of being ; Cells ; Darwin's singular notion ; The stuff of life -- Road to us. Ice time ; Mysterious biped ; Restless ape ; Good-bye.In this book Bill Bryson explores the most intriguing and consequential questions that science seeks to answer and attempts to understand everything that has transpired from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization. To that end, Bill Bryson apprenticed himself to a host of the world's most profound scientific minds, living and dead. His challenge is to take subjects like geology, chemistry, paleontology, astronomy, and particle physics and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people, like himself, made bored (or scared) stiff of science by school. His interest is not simply to discover what we know but to find out how we know it. How do we know what is in the center of the earth, thousands of miles beneath the surface? How can we know the extent and the composition of the universe, or what a black hole is? How can we know where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out? On his travels through space and time, Bill Bryson encounters a splendid gallery of the most fascinating, eccentric, competitive, and foolish personalities ever to ask a hard question. In their company, he undertakes a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge.

The origin and evolution of earth [videorecording] : from the big bang to the future of human existence by Hazen, Robert M.,1948-(CARDINAL)138121; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Lecturer: Robert M. Hazen, George Mason University.Examines Earth's origin from simple atoms that were created in the big bang, transformed into heavy elements in stellar explosions, then forged into a planet inside the nebula that gave birth to the solar system. Like many other planets, Earth went through phases of melting, volcanism, and bombardment by asteroids. But only on Earth did events lead to a flourishing biosphere--life. And once life was established, it drove the evolution of our planet in startling new directions.DVD.
