And for good reason: it carries unknown risks and it may undermine commitments to conserving energy. Some critics also view it as an immoral human breach of the natural world. The latter objection, David Keith argues in A Scientist's Case for Climate Engineering, is groundless; we have been using technology to alter our environment for years. But he agrees that there are large issues at stake. A leading scientist long concerned about climate change, Keith offers no naive proposal for an easy fix to what is perhaps the most challenging question of our time; climate engineering is no silver bullet. But he argues that after decades during which very little progress has been made in reducing carbon emissions we must put this technology on the table and consider it responsibly. That doesn't mean we will deploy it, and it doesn't mean that we can abandon efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But we must understand fully what research needs to be done and how the technology might be designed and used. This book provides a clear and accessible overview of what the costs and risks might be, and how climate engineering might fit into a larger program for managing climate change.Boston review book.Climate change mitigationGlobal warmingPreventionEnvironmental engineeringSulfuric acidEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental geotechnologyEnvironmental policyElectronic books.Climate change mitigation.Global warmingPrevention.Environmental engineering.Sulfuric acidEnvironmental aspects.Environmental geotechnology.Environmental policy.551.68Keith David W1056374CaBNVSLCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910452848903321A case for climate engineering2490688UNINA04805nam 22007335 450 991052009410332120231204143047.03-030-41651-810.1007/978-3-030-41651-5(MiAaPQ)EBC6839003(Au-PeEL)EBL6839003(CKB)20275218600041(OCoLC)1290701956(DE-He213)978-3-030-41651-5(EXLCZ)992027521860004120211219d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Education Systems of the Americas /edited by Sieglinde Jornitz, Marcelo Parreira do Amaral1st ed. 2021.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2021.1 online resource (1226 pages)Global Education Systems,2570-2270Print version: Jornitz, Sieglinde The Education Systems of the Americas Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2021 9783030416508 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction to this handbook -- Argentina -- Brazil -- Chile -- Costa Rica -- Cuba -- El Salvador -- French Guiana, Martinique and Guadaloupe -- Honduras -- ICT and Digitization in the United States: Research, Trends, and Issues -- Jamaica -- Mexico -- Montserrat -- National Education Systems in the Postnational Era -- Paraguay -- St. Vincent and the Grenadines -- The Education System of Colombia -- The Education System of Ecuador -- Education in the United States in Overview -- Venezuela -- Financing education in Brazil: challenges of quality and equity -- National education systems between citizenship and (national) identity -- Equity in US K-12 and Higher Education -- STEM Education in the US -- Federalism and Organizational Contiguity in Brazil: Relevance and Impact on Educational Administration -- A History of Trinidad's Islamic Education Policy -- Guayana -- Guatemala -- Peru.This handbook focuses on and compares the education systems in the three Americas: North, Central and South America, and includes a chapter on most countries in the region. The chapters follow a common structure and include schematic diagrams of the structure of mainstream education from pre-primary to tertiary level. Each chapter starts with a description of the historical and social foundations of the education system from the post-World War II period up to today, including political, economic and cultural contexts and conditions. By highlighting important dates and structural decisions, the current education system can be understood as resulting from past developments. The first part ends with a description of the transitions to the labour market that are offered, and the way in which these are organized in the education system described. The second part consists of an overview of the institutional and organizational principles as well as the structure of education from pre-primary to tertiary level. It includes a focus on legislative bases and financial provisions for the education system and a description of the structure by using the ISCED-classification. It further includes information of the supply of human resources such as teachers and other educators. The third and final part of the handbook discusses selected educational trends and aspects. In this context, three topics are of particular interest: dealing with inequality, ICT and digitization activities, and STEM-related policies and programmes.Global Education Systems,2570-2270International educationComparative educationEducation and stateEducationEducationHistoryInternational and Comparative EducationEducational Policy and PoliticsEducationHistory of EducationSistema educatiuthubAmèricathubLlibres electrònicsthubInternational education.Comparative education.Education and state.Education.EducationHistory.International and Comparative Education.Educational Policy and Politics.Education.History of Education.Sistema educatiu370.97370.97Jornitz SieglindeAmaral Marcelo Parreira doMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910520094103321The Education Systems of the Americas1997634UNINA
