Empty vessel : the story of the global economy in one barge / by Kumekawa, Ian,1991-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-290) and index."The rise of globalization and financialization as seen from a barge--one Swedish barge, to be exact, built in 1979. What do a barracks for British troops in the Falklands War, a floating jail off the Bronx, and temporary housing for VW factory workers in Germany have in common? The Balder Scapa: a single barge that served all three roles. Though the name would eventually change to Finnboda 12. And then to Safe Esperia. And later on, to the Bibby Resolution. And after that . . . In short, a vessel with so many names, and so many fates, that to keep it in our sights--as the protagonist of this fascinating economic parable-Ian Kumekawa has no choice but to call it, simply, the Vessel. Despite its sturdy steel structure, weighing 9,500 deadweight tons, the Vessel is a figure as elusive and abstract as the offshore market it comes to embody: a world of island tax havens, exploited labor forces, free banking zones, Thatcherism, Reaganomics, and mass incarceration, where even the prisoners are held offshore. Fitted with modular shipping containers, themselves the product of standardized global trade, the ship could become whatever the market demanded. Whether caught in an international dispute involving Hong Kong, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the Virgin Islands--to be settled in an English court of law--or flying yet another foreign "flag of convenience" to mask its ownership--the barge is ever a container for forces much larger than even its hulking self. Empty Vessel is a jaw-dropping microhistory that speaks volumes about the global economy as a whole. In following the Vessel--and its Sister Vessel, built alongside it in Stockholm--from one thankless task to the next, Kumekawa connects the dots of a neoliberal world order in the making, where regulation is for suckers and "Made in USA" feels almost quaint"--

North Carolina lighthouses : the stories behind the beacons from Cape Fear to Currituck Beach / by Shelton-Roberts, Cheryl,1950-author.(CARDINAL)271387; Jones, Ray,1948-writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)197662; Roberts, Bruce,1930-2023,author.(CARDINAL)133080;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-246) and index.Lighting North Carolina's coastline -- The second Bald Head Island Lighthouse and other Cape Fear lights -- Ocracoke Island Lighthouse and its neighbors -- Fresnel lenses refocus tower lights -- The second Cape Lookout Lighthouse -- The third Bodie Island Lighthouse -- North Carolina lighthouses, 1861-1865 -- The second Cape Hatteras Lighthouse: the move of the century -- Light vessels and a new type of offshore tower: working off the grid -- Currituck Beach Light Station: lighting the way to living history -- Facelifts in old age: restoration efforts and changing roles for North Carolina's lights."Of the over four dozen lighthouse that once dotted the jagged shoreline of North Carolina, only nine still stand, watching over 300 miles of coast. These remaining beacons, though technically obsolete, are cherished monuments of North Carolina history. Instead of warning ships to safer waters, their presence now draws thousands of visitors each year, from historians to tourists. With this book, co-founders of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society Cheryl Shelton-Roberts and Bruce Roberts provide a well-researched, heavily illustrated, and human-centered history of these towering structures"--

U.S. National Debate Topic, 2014-2015. by H.W. Wilson Company.(CARDINAL)142786;
Includes bibliographical references (page 187) and index.The ocean covers more than 72 percent of the Earth's surface and constitutes 90 percent of all the space on Earth capable of sustaining life. The climate of the terrestrial environment is dependent on the ocean, which removes and produces essential gases and modulates heat to produce a productive living zone where humanity and all other terrestrial life can flourish. The oceans also constitute part of the essential structure of human culture, linking global economies through trade and shipping and providing food and resources for humans around the world. The economic impact of the ocean is immense, providing nearly $3 trillion in goods and services each year. Climate change, overfishing, oceanic acidification, pollution, and other human-engineered changes in the oceanic environment threated both oceanic life and the continuation of human society. The question of how to manage, protect, and develop the oceanic environment is one of the most important environmental issues in the history of human culture.

National Geographic atlas of the ocean : the deep frontier / by Earle, Sylvia A.,1935-(CARDINAL)151267;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 186-187) and index.Includes list of ocean facts and bibliography.Internationally renowned deep-sea pioneer and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Sylvia A. Earle, in consultation with experts from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is our peerless guide. This one-of-a-kind atlas immerses us in the infinite wonders of the world offshore through more than 150 cutting-edge maps, photographs, and satellite images. Atlas of the ocean lays bare a realm as challenging and untapped as space-and as vital to our existence as the air we breathe. Accompanying exquisite, up-to-the-minute maps, Earle's compelling text reveals the beauty and complexity of the ocean structure-past, present, and future-and explores its flora, fauna, and diverse phenomena, from giant squid and kelp to the smallest microbial bodies. Fascinating point maps take us into the planet's deepest abyss, the Mariana Trench along the planet's longest mountain chain, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge on the migration route of humpback whales and to a host of marine sanctuaries worldwide. An unequaled resource for both education and entertainment, Atlas of the Ocean also explores the progress of fascinating technological developments that will help scientists discover the ocean's innumerable uncharted regions and life-forms.
