In Search of the Soul and the Mechanism of Thought, Emotion, and Conduct

From the reviews:
There have been many books written about the future lunar exploration and the long-term benefits to the Moon's and Earth's occupants of doing so. Only one book, however, has been written by a man who has actually been to the Moon, explored its surface, and knows firsthand the economic benefits locked in the Moon's regolith. Harrison Scmitt's Return to the Moon will serve as a blueprint for how to achieve this and contribute to making the Vision for Space Exploration a reality.
Anthony Young, The Space Review, January 3, 2006
"Astronaut geologist Harrison Schmitt outlines his vision of a Return to the Moon, and the mining of helium 3 to provide a future energy source for the earth. … The result is an erudite and persuasive thesis … . This is an important book and one that really should be read … . The book is well written, challenging and prescient." (Michael Condry, Spaceflight, Vol. 49, January, 2007)
"The author has unique qualifications for writing this exposition. Schmitt was the only scientist among 12 astronauts to visit the Moon … . There are … excellent diagrams and pictures from the author’s own Apollo 17 mission. Springer is becoming a major publisher of space books for professionals, especially through its Copernicus and Praxis affiliations, who were responsible for this stimulating volume." (Philip R. Harris, Space Policy, Vol. 23 (2), 2007)
"Former NASA Astronaut Harrison Schmitt … presents a compelling case for returning man to the moon. … This bold book is detail oriented and describes how Schmitt would reinvigorate the U.S. space program through a public-private partnership to mine helium-3 on the moon for generating inexpensive fusion power on Earth. Dr. Schmitt, a geologist, astronaut, U.S. Senator, businessman, and teacher, uses his years of experience and knowledge to carefully craft a program to put man back into deep space for the long term." (K. Eric Livo, Economic Geology, Vol. 101, 2006)

Return to the Moon

"This volume explodes the idea that global integration yields cultural convergence. It shows the many layers and meanings of inequality and differences in the global south. In so doing, the authors illuminate how societies amalgamated old and new insights and definitions of their collective selves. This book is a model for the production of new area studies knowledge."— Jeremy Adelman, the Henry Charles Lea Professor of History and Director of the Global History Lab at Princeton University, USA"The book provides an innovative conceptual framework for an understanding of the 'social' of 'inequality', a subject becoming increasingly popular across disciplines of the social sciences. Chapters presented in the book also provide empirical case studies that both show the value of the conceptual framework suggested in the opening chapter and the significant advance that such a comparative perspective could offer to the study of social inequality. This book will have a lasting impact on the field."— Surinder S. Jodhka, Professor of Sociology, Centre for the Study of Social Systems, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India

It is packed with new ideas and practical tools and should be on every marketing manager's desk."Professor Nigel F Piercy, Professor of Marketing, Warwick Business School“This book starts where most others finish – making the theory work in the real world. Having done an MBA and held several Senior Marketing positions, I recommend it both to practising marketers who already have a thorough understanding of marketing theory and also to MBA students who are eager to apply their knowledge within their own organisation’s framework.” Mathias Aeberhardt, Director Business Intelligence Europe, Zimmer GmbH“As a strategic marketing professionals working in the fast-moving and complex world of UK retail banking and personal financial services, inevitable time pressures demand that we must be highly selective in the material we choose to read.

Brian Smith has provided a detailed, pragmatic approach to marketing strategy with not only interesting examples but also with clear advise to make marketing really happen. The text is concise and clearly presented.Most of all, Making Marketing Happen is very readable and enjoyable to read."Willem Verschuur, GM Product Marketing Management, Mitsubishi Motors Europe B.V.“In the past writing on Marketing Planning seems to have been dominated by mechanistic planning models. This book brings a welcome insight into other approaches and their application and challenges managers to think about what works for them.”  Gerry Johnson, Professor of Strategic Management, University of Strathclyde Graduate School of Business

"This urgently-needed volume reveals the power of a technically savvy, yet conceptually sophisticated, anthropology to confront the social policy question of our time: Do the conditional cash transfers (CCTs) represent the ideal paradigm for fighting social injustice in the twenty-first century? Both critical and even-handed, these chapters reveal the faulty premises and unintended consequences of such policies and open new vistas for progressive state action." -- Aaron Ansell, Assistant professor of Anthropology, Virginia Tech, USA, author of Zero Hunger: Political Culture and Anti-poverty Policy in Northeast Brazil, University of&nbsp;North Carolina Press"Cash transfers are widely accepted as effective palliatives in efforts to alleviate extreme poverty. But we know little about their impact on the individuals, households and communities that they serve. Fotta and Balen have assembled a rich collection of ethnographic case studies which analyse the micro-social dynamics of these programmes, revealing their effects on class, gender and ethnic relations. The editors provide fresh critical perspectives on the cash transfer phenomenon, challenging scholars and policymakers to think carefully when weighing up the positives and negatives of these programmes. This is not only a most welcome contribution to the debate on social protection but shows how essential social analysis is for the domain of public policy." -- Maxine Molyneux, Professor of Sociology, University College London, UK, editor of The Social and Political Potential of Cash Transfers, Routledge"Written by a select team of specialists from several disciplines, and [deploying] a comparative perspective, the book highlights the diverse meanings that money from conditional cash transfer policies assumes in rural communities across Latin America, and is thus fundamental reading for academics, students, and policy makers." -- André Pires, Professor of Anthropology, Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, Brazil, author of Ruralidades em Transformação: Agricultores, Caseiros e Moradores de Condomínio, Annablume

Some Observations Upon the Conductivity of a Copper Wire in Various Dielectrics

"Smart meters are both a major weapon in the hands of consumers, and a subject of some public controversy. This important book explains what smart meters can do, how they are used in different countries, and how we can best take advantage of them to benefit consumers and promote decarbonisation." -- Martin Cave, Professor, Chair of Ofgem, the UK energy regulator"Smart meters are regarded as critical for the digitalisation of our electricity system, and yet there has been limited understanding and evidence about the value and benefits of these multi-billion-pound investment programmes. This book tackles its subject with genuine passion, showing in innovative ways how smart meters relate to our everyday lives and explaining the costs and benefits of smart meters in Europe and beyond. It is the one-stop book for anyone working or studying issues related to smart meters in industry, policy or research." -- Jonathan Graham, Head of Markets and Strategy for Distributed Energy Systems, Siemens UK"A long-awaited must-read (even must read twice), this book takes a comprehensive and innovative approach to electricity smart metering. Many thanks to Jacopo for opening the smarter meter blackbox from all possible angles and using his established legitimacy to explain to the reader all the alternative choices and possible outcomes". -- Jean-Michel Glachant, Professor, Loyola de Palacio Professor in European energy policy and Director Florence School of Regulation (European University Institute). "Flexible demand will be critical in future low carbon electricity systems, and yet understanding of how to achieve that remains inadequate. It is clear that smart meters will be needed. This book provides a timely and comprehensive assessment of the economics of that investment." -- Nick Eyre, Professor, Director, Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions"Understanding the responses of consumers in the smart, flexible and decarbonised energy system of the future is critical to its success. This book distils the findings of cutting-edge research on the economics of smart meters and hence represents a key element in understanding the role of costs in how people use energy services." -- Neil Strachan, Professor, Director, UCL Energy Institute"Drawing on an impressive range of interdisciplinary research, this book opens up economic, social and policy aspects of smart meters and energy demand. It makes an excellent read for anyone interested not only in smart meters, but also in the use of economic appraisals as part of large infrastructure projects." --&nbsp;Susana Mourato, Professor, Head Of Department of Geography & Environment, London School of Economics
