Magmamax Binary Power Plant, East Mesa, Imperial Valley California, USAGeothermal Power Plants: Principles, Applications and Case Studies is the latest book from Ron DiPippo, Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. It is a single resource on all aspects of the utilization of geothermal energy for electric power generation. Written in one voice by a respected authority in the field with twenty-five years of experience in geothermal research, teaching, and consulting, it is intended for those involved in any aspect of the geothermal industry. Grounded in fundamental scientific and engineering principles, its practical emphasis is enhanced by the use of actual case studies from historic and present-day plants. The thermodynamic basis for the design of geothermal power plants is at the heart of the book. The Second Law is used extensively to assess the performance and guide the design of various types of geothermal energy conversion systems. The case studies included in the third part of the book are chosen from plants around the world, and increase the reader's understanding of the elements involved in gaining access to, and making use of, this important renewable energy resource. The book is illustrated with over 240 photographs and drawings, many in full color. Nine chapters include practice problems, with answers, for the reader to test his/her understanding of the material. A comprehensive and definitive worldwide compilation of every geothermal power plant that has ever operated, unit by unit, is given in detailed tables as an appendix. In another appendix, DiPippo offers a concise digest of applicable thermodynamics. * Unique and thoroughly up to date * Comprehensive and international in scope * Author of international reputeElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsGeothermal power plantsGeothermal power plantsCase studiesGeothermal resourcesElectronic books.localOriginal18561747439781856174749(OCoLC)58829512Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781856174749An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information.b1365061003-03-2224-01-08991003219949707536Geothermal power plants1213507UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engenk0003776nam 22006855 450 991033770860332120240313123438.09783030045104303004510210.1007/978-3-030-04510-4(CKB)4100000007522494(MiAaPQ)EBC5639439(DE-He213)978-3-030-04510-4(Perlego)3492261(EXLCZ)99410000000752249420190118d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGerman Political Thought and the Discourse of Platonism Finding the Way Out of the Cave /by Paul Bishop1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2019.1 online resource (425 pages)9783030045098 3030045099 Chapter 1: What is politics? -- Chapter 2: Plato and the cave -- Chapter 3: Aristotle and the empirical approach -- Chapter 4: Rousseau and the social contract -- Chapter 5: Kant and the categorical imperative -- Chapter 6: Hegel and the dialectic -- Chapter 7: Marx & Engels: the revolution -- Chapter 8: Nietzsche & Heidegger: a glance to the Right -- Chapter 9: The Frankfurt School - Adorno & Horkheimer -- Chapter 10: Habermas and communicative action -- Chapter 11: By Way of Conclusion.Taking Plato's allegory of the cave as its starting-point, this book demonstrates how later European thinkers can be read as a reaction and a response to key aspects of this allegory and its discourse of enchainment and liberation. Focusing on key thinkers in the tradition of European (and specifically German) political thought including Kant, Marx, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Frankfurt School, it relates them back to such foundational figures as Rousseau, Aristotle, and in particular Plato. All these thinkers are considered in relation to key passages from their major works, accompanied by an explanatory commentary which seeks to follow a conceptual and imagistic thread through the labyrinth of these complex, yet fascinating, texts. This book will appeal in particular to scholars of political theory, philosophy, and German language and culture. Paul Bishop is William Jacks Chair of Modern Languages at University of Glasgow, UK. His previous publications include Carl Jung (2014), A Companion to Friedrich Nietzsche, Life and Works (2012), and Nietzsche and Antiquity: His Reaction and Response to the Classical Tradition (2004). .Language and languagesStylePolitical sciencePolitical sciencePhilosophyGermanic languagesIntellectual lifeHistoryIdealism, GermanStylisticsPolitical TheoryPolitical PhilosophyGermanic LanguagesIntellectual HistoryGerman IdealismLanguage and languagesStyle.Political science.Political sciencePhilosophy.Germanic languages.Intellectual lifeHistory.Idealism, German.Stylistics.Political Theory.Political Philosophy.Germanic Languages.Intellectual History.German Idealism.320.011193Bishop Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut986974BOOK9910337708603321German Political Thought and the Discourse of Platonism2535498UNINA01334nas 2200433- 450 991051818440332120250523012813.02329-2342(OCoLC)844939822(CKB)2560000000108868(CONSER)--2013218777(EXLCZ)99256000000010886820130529b18541860 k-- aengur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Kansas herald of freedomWakarusa, Kansas Territory :G.W.
