They show a variety of viewpoints and diversity. This collection is meant to incite and excite conversation among engineers, scientists, and society at large. It would serve as a catalyst for a three-credit course as an introductory engineering subject to non engineering university students. As university education develops to better prepare future leaders to appreciate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, engineering courses for non engineering majors are essential and so is the requirement of worthy textbooks. This monograph intends to be one of the useful tools available. The wide range of topics includes nuclear power, small hydroelectric plants, wind turbines, and organic photovoltaics. Nanotechnology, natural gas, and deep sea oil drilling have also been presented. Energy efficiency has been called the "fifth fuel" and these topics have been covered. The four hydrocarbon fuels are oil, coal, natural gas, and biofuel.Thermal science and energy engineering collection.Energy industriesEnergy policyEnergy industriesForecastingRenewable energy sourcesElectronic books.Energy industries.Energy policy.Energy industriesForecasting.Renewable energy sources.333.79Wong Kaufui Vincent850421MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460710803321Essays in energy2121522UNINA04258nam 22007451 450 991078320310332120230207223609.01-280-46512-397866104651251-4237-1425-390-474-0269-310.1163/9789047402695(CKB)1000000000033091(EBL)253753(OCoLC)171583238(SSID)ssj0000114954(PQKBManifestationID)11129972(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000114954(PQKBWorkID)10125004(PQKB)10481002(MiAaPQ)EBC253753(Au-PeEL)EBL253753(CaPaEBR)ebr10089729(CaONFJC)MIL46512(OCoLC)191953235(nllekb)BRILL9789047402695(EXLCZ)99100000000003309120210731d2004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe British and French Mandates in Comparative Perspectives/Les mandats français et anglais dans une perspective comparative /Nadine Méouchy, Peter SluglettLeiden; Boston :BRILL,2004.1 online resource (769 p.)Social, Economic and Political Studies of the Middle East and Asia ;93Papers presented at a conference held in Aix-en-Provence, June 2001.90-04-13313-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.CONTENTS/SOMMAIRE; Acknowledgements; Remerciements; Notes on contributors/Liste des auteurs; General introduction; Introduction générale; PART ONE/PREMIÈRE PARTIE SOURCE MATERIALS FOR THE MANDATES/OUTILS DOCUMENTAIRES SUR LES MANDATS; PART TWO/DEUXIÈME PARTIE THE SPIRIT AND THE LETTER OF THE MANDATES: POLITICAL PRAXIS AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES/L'ESPRIT ET LA LETTRE DES MANDATS: PRATIQUES POLITIQUES ET PERSPECTIVES CULTURELLESPART THREE/TROISIEME PARTIE THE STATE AND THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL ELITES: NETWORKS, DYNAMICS AND NATION BUILDING/L'ÉTAT ET LES ÉLITES POLITIQUES, ÉCONOMIQUES ET TECHNIQUES: RÉSEAUX, DYNAPART FOUR/QUATRIÈME PARTIE RURAL AND URBAN MOBILISATION: RESISTANCE AND COOPERATION/LES MOBILISATIONS URBAINES ET RURALES: RÉSISTANCE ET COOPÉRATION; CONCLUDING REMARKS/SYNTHÈSES DE CONCLUSION; General Bibliography; Index of Personal, Family and Tribal NamesThis collection represents the first large scale attempt to discuss the Middle Eastern mandates as a totality. It compares the application and effects of this very specific form of late colonialism from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives, including anthropology, architecture, archival conservation, economics, history, law and sociology. It contains analyses at both micro and macro levels, including specific instances of revolt or collaboration, studies of particular individuals, of professional groups and their contributions to "nation-building," comparisons between the various political and cultural policies of the mandatory powers, and the formation and practice of "le savoir colonial" by contemporary ethnographers, officials, physicians and teachers. The volume will be of interest to historians of imperialism and of the twentieth century Middle East.Social, Economic and Political Studies of the Middle East and Asia ;93.Elite (Social sciences)CongressesMandatesCongressesMandatesMiddle EastCongressesMandatesMiddle EastCongressesNationalismMiddle EastCongressesFranceColoniesAdministrationCongressesGreat BritainColoniesAdministrationCongressesElite (Social sciences)MandatesMandatesMiddle EastMandatesNationalism956.903Méouchy Nadine802364Sluglett PeterNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910783203103321The British and French Mandates in Comparative Perspectives3733381UNINA
