As historical and contemporary data is rapidly becoming more available, and digital technologies are becoming integral to research in the humanities and social sciences, we sought to bring together contributions that reflect on the different strategies that art market scholars employ to navigate and negotiate digital techniques and resources. The essays in this issue cover a wide range of topics and research questions. Taken together, the essays offer a reflection on what takes to research art markets, which includes addressing difficult topics such as the nature of the research questions and the data available to us, and the conceptual aspects of art markets, in order to define and operationalize variables and to interpret visual and statistical patterns for scholarship. In our view, this discussion is enriched when also taking into account how to use shared or interoperable ontologies and vocabularies to define concepts and relationships that facilitate the use and exchange of linked (open) data for cultural heritage and historical research.ArtsHistoryInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)ArtsHistory.Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)700.9Sandra Van Ginhoven1367513Claartje RasterhoffNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910674035303321Art Markets and Digital Histories3390842UNINA04023nim 2200505Ka 450 991013623820332120240912110542.60-06-265206-0(CKB)3710000000915803(BIP)055641652(ODN)ODN0002717418(EXLCZ)99371000000091580320161026d2016 uy 0enguruna---|||||spwrdacontentsrdamediacrdamediacrrdacarrierAll the gallant men An american sailor's firsthand account of pearl harbor. /Donald StrattonUnabridged.HarperCollins1 online resource (6 audio files) digitalThe New York Times bestselling memoir of survival and heroism at Pearl Harbor "An unforgettable story of unfathomable courage." — Reader's Digest In this, the first memoir by a USS Arizona sailor, Donald Stratton delivers an inspiring and unforgettable eyewitness account of the Pearl Harbor attack and his remarkable return to the fight. At 8:06 a.m. on December 7, 1941, Seaman First Class Donald Stratton was consumed by an inferno. A million pounds of explosives had detonated beneath his battle station aboard the USS Arizona, barely fifteen minutes into Japan's surprise attack on American forces at Pearl Harbor. Near death and burned across two thirds of his body, Don, a nineteen-year-old Nebraskan who had been steeled by the Great Depression and Dust Bowl, summoned the will to haul himself hand over hand across a rope tethered to a neighboring vessel. Forty-five feet below, the harbor's flaming, oil-slick water boiled with enemy bullets; all around him the world tore itself apart. In this extraordinary never-before-told eyewitness account of the Pearl Harbor attack—the only memoir ever written by a survivor of the USS Arizona—ninety-four-year-old veteran Donald Stratton finally shares his unforgettable personal tale of bravery and survival on December 7, 1941, his harrowing recovery, and his inspiring determination to return to the fight. Don and four other sailors made it safely across the same line that morning, a small miracle on a day that claimed the lives of 1,177 of their Arizona shipmates—approximately half the American fatalaties at Pearl Harbor. Sent to military hospitals for a year, Don refused doctors' advice to amputate his limbs and battled to relearn how to walk. The U.S. Navy gave him a medical discharge, believing he would never again be fit for service, but Don had unfinished business. In June 1944, he sailed back into the teeth of the Pacific War on a destroyer, destined for combat in the crucial battles of Leyte Gulf, Luzon, and Okinawa, thus earning the distinction of having been present for the opening shots and the final major battle of America's Second World War. As the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack approaches, Don, a great-grandfather of five and one of five living survivors of the Arizona, offers an unprecedentedly intimate reflection on the tragedy that drew America into the greatest armed conflict in history.

Although some renewable energy technologies impact the environment, renewables are considered environmentally preferable to conventional sources and, when replacing fossil fuels, have significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This book focuses on the environmental and economic benefits of using renewable energy, which include: (i) generating energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and reduces some types of air pollution, (ii) diversifying energy supply and reducing dependence on imported fuels, and (iii) creating economic development and jobs in manufacturing, installation, and more. Local governments can dramatically reduce their carbon footprint by purchasing or directly generating electricity from clean and renewable sources. The most common renewable power technologies include: solar (photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal), wind, biogas (e.g., landfill gas, wastewater treatment digester gas), geothermal, biomass, low-impact hydroelectricity, and emerging technologies such as wave and tidal power. Local governments can lead by example by generating energy on site, purchasing green power, or purchasing renewable energy. Using a combination of renewable energy options can help to meet local government goals, especially in some regions where availability and quality of renewable resources vary. Options for using renewable energy include: generating renewable energy on site, using a system or device at the location where the power is used (e.g., PV panels on a state building, geothermal heat pumps, biomass-fueled combined heat and power), and purchasing renewable energy from an electric utility through a green pricing or green marketing program, where buyers pay a small premium in exchange for electricity generated locally from green power resources.History of engineering and technologybicsscapple branchesash-forming elementsashing temperaturebenchmarkbiomass power generationbusiness modelcivic energy communitiesCO2 emission performancecommunity energyconstraints and enablerscontaminated soildemand responseenergy efficiencyenergy practicesenergy storageenergy transitionglobal meta-frontier non-radial direction distance functiongrassroots innovationhazardous wastehome batteryHOMERJingningLCALCClevelized cost of energy (LCOE)local energy initiativesMediterranean wineriesmine wastemunicipalitiesonshore windphotovoltaicphotovoltaic systempositive externalitiespotential CO2 emission and energy reductionpotential toxic elementsprosumerspublic policiesrecycling propertyremovalrenewable energyrenewable energy sourcesresiliencerice straw ashrural developmentsocial practice theorysocial-ecological systemsolar home systems (SHS)solubilitysupport policysustainable development of both agriculture and biomass energytime of use tariffwind farmsHistory of engineering and technologyColmenar Santos Antonioedt866278Borge Diez DavidedtRosales Asensio EnriqueedtColmenar Santos AntonioothBorge Diez DavidothRosales Asensio EnriqueothBOOK9910557745103321Locally Available Energy Sources and Sustainability3016942UNINA
