Such a world is no Utopia, it is a possible reality. Using indefinitely available sources of energy – especially photovoltaic solar, in combination with others – and networking this energy, much in the way that we have networked information, we can get beyond our current energy ‘crisis’ and resolve it. The world we then find ourselves in is not a world without problems – we will face new challenges on the way – but in terms of energy it is a world of plenty. Rooted in sound theory and based on technology that is available now, A Genius Planet offers an accessible but detailed and insightful perspective on how we can free ourselves from our dependency on natural resources and generate, trade, and use energy in ways that open up the genuine potential that we have at our disposal today.Applied virtuality book series ;11.Renewable energy sourcesEnergy developmentEnergy consumptionRenewable energy sources.Energy development.Energy consumption.724.6Hovestadt Ludger1026542Bühlmann VeraMichael SebastianMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813246103321A genius planet3996058UNINA05607oam 2200709I 450 991096571020332120251116182043.01-136-77795-41-138-54750-60-203-55341-11-136-77788-110.4324/9780203553411 (CKB)2550000001064816(StDuBDS)AH25283731(SSID)ssj0000917120(PQKBManifestationID)11483948(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000917120(PQKBWorkID)10892183(PQKB)10291033(MiAaPQ)EBC1221505(Au-PeEL)EBL1221505(CaPaEBR)ebr10723468(CaONFJC)MIL499780(OCoLC)849935537(OCoLC)776535223(FINmELB)ELB138149(EXLCZ)99255000000106481620180706d2013 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrSpatial politics in contemporary London literature writing architecture and the body /Laura Colombino1st ed.New York Routledge2013New York :Routledge,2013.1 online resource (199 pages ) illustrationsRoutledge studies in contemporary literature ;9Routledge studies in contemporary literature ;9Formerly CIP.Uk0-415-62480-0 1-299-68530-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Modular bodies and architecture as skin: J.

Colombino visits the city in connection with its boundaries, abstract spaces and natural microcosms, as they stand in for all the conflicting realms of identity; its interstices and ruins are seen as inhabited by bodies that reproduce internally the external conditions of political and social struggle. The study brings into focus the fiction in which London provides not a residual interest but a strong psychic-phenomenological grounding, and where the awareness of the physical reality of buildings and landscape conditions shape the concept of the subject traversing this space. Authors such as J. G. Ballard, Geoff Dyer, Michael Moorcock, Peter Ackroyd, Iain Sinclair, Geoff Ryman, Tom McCarthy, Michael Bracewell and Zadie Smith are considered in order to map the relationship of body, architecture and spatial politics in contemporary creative prose on the city. Through readings that are consistently informed by recent developments in urban studies and reflections formulated by architects, sociologists, anthropologists and art critics, this book offers a substantial contribution to the burgeoning field of literary urban studies.
