[?] This book, written by Mayumi and Renner, provides a detailed and well-informed, sobering analysis of these contradictions and the abuses associated with the current use of the coding provided by money in modern society.? ?Mario Giampietro, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain ?[?] the authors of this intriguing book embark on a profound exploration of the privileged role of money creation that commercial banks have and the related issue of interest and discount rates.? ?Tommaso Luzzati, University of Pisa, Italy ?This magnificent book, exhaustively written, points sharply to [the] problem, [?] and presents and discusses openly and with radical bravery, an alternative sovereign money system for the common good of humanity and of the Earth.? ?Jesús Ramos-Martín, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain ?This insightful work delves into the intricate relationship between finance, economic growth, and environmental degradation [?]. Mayumi and Renner?s thought-provoking analysis challenges readers to reconsider the privileged powers of banks and explore alternative paths toward a resilient and sustainable financial system.? ?Silvio Funtowicz, University of Bergen, Norway This book reconsiders the privileged powers commercial banks hold, i.e., their ability to create money out of nothing and then have that money grow with a positive interest rate. Said powers defy the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The necessity of understanding the dual natures of money, wealth, and real capital, or, put differently, the reality that these three entities are simultaneously individual affluence and collective biophysical debt, is emphasized. The book culminates by proposing new foundations of money, wealth, and real capital for sustainability.

Our socio-economic system focuses on production increasing without considering the consequences. We are intoxicating ourselves on a daily bases just to allow the system to perpetuate itself. The time to switch into more natural solutions is come and the scientific community is ready to offer more natural product with comparable performance then the market products we are used to deal with. This book collects a broad set of scientific examples in which research groups from all over the world, aim to replace fossil fuel-based solutions with biomass derived materials. In here, some of the most innovative developments in the field of bio-materials are reported considering topics which goes from biomass valorization to the synthesis of high preforming bio-based materials. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aadsorption 610 $aadsorption capacity 610 $aalginate sponge 610 $aalkali lignin 610 $aanionic surfactants 610 $aAnti-bacterial silver nanoparticle 610 $aantifouling 610 $aArtemisia vulgaris 610 $aasphalt rubber 610 $aautoxidation 610 $abacterial cellulose 610 $abenzoyl cellulose 610 $abio-asphalt 610 $abio-based 610 $aBio-based foams 610 $abio-inspired interfaces 610 $abio-nanocomposites 610 $abiocomposite 610 $aBioflex 610 $abiomass resources 610 $abioplastics 610 $abiopolymers 610 $acationic dyes 610 $acellulose 610 $acellulose nanocrystals 610 $acellulose nanofibers 610 $acement 610 $achemical composition 610 $achitosan 610 $acompatibility 610 $acomposites 610 $acopper coating 610 $acorn starch 610 $acost 610 $acrosslinked microparticles 610 $adelignification 610 $adense structure 610 $adifferential scanning calorimetry 610 $adimensional stability 610 $adimer acid 610 $adissolution 610 $aelectrical resistance 610 $aelectroless deposition 610 $aelectrospinning 610 $aemulsion-solvent evaporation method 610 $aendothermic effect 610 $aenzymatic saccharification 610 $aEscherichia coli 610 $aextrusion-compounding 610 $afeast-famine 610 $afiber-cement 610 $afilm 610 $afilms 610 $afractionation 610 $afree-radical polymerization 610 $agalactoglucomannan 610 $aGC-MS 610 $agraphene oxide 610 $aH2O2 bleaching treatment 610 $aHatscheck process 610 $aheadspace solid phase microextraction 610 $aheat treatment 610 $aheavy metals 610 $ahemicellulose 610 $aHSQC-NMR 610 $ahumidity sensor 610 $ahybrid composites 610 $ahybrid nonisocyanate polyurethane 610 $ahydrogel 610 $ahydrotropic treatment 610 $aimidazolium 610 $aimmobilized TEMPO 610 $aionic liquid 610 $airon chelation 610 $akaempferol 610 $akenaf fiber 610 $aknotwood 610 $alarixol 610 $alatex state 610 $alignin 610 $alignin content 610 $alignin-carbohydrate complex 610 $alignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils 610 $alignocellulose 610 $alignocellulosic nanofibrils 610 $aliquid natural rubber 610 $alyocell fiber 610 $amechanical degradation 610 $amechanical properties 610 $amelt condensation 610 $amembrane 610 $ametal binding 610 $ametal chloride 610 $amethylene blue 610 $aMicrobial nutrient 610 $amicrocellulose fiber 610 $amicroencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) 610 $amicrostructure 610 $amixed microbial cultures 610 $amixing sequence 610 $an/a 610 $ananobiocomposites 610 $ananocellulose fibers 610 $ananocelluloses 610 $ananoclays 610 $anatural fibers 610 $anuclear magnetic resonance 610 $aone-pot synthesis 610 $aONP fibers 610 $aorange waste 610 $aosteoblast proliferation 610 $apaper-based scaffolds 610 $aPeptone 610 $aPHA 610 $aPHBV 610 $aphenanthrene 610 $aphotodegradation 610 $aphysical property 610 $aphysicochemical properties 610 $apollutant adsorbents 610 $apoly(lactic acid) 610 $apoly(lactic acid) and composite films 610 $apolycaprolactone 610 $apolydopamine coating 610 $apolyhydroxyalkanoates 610 $apolylactic acid 610 $apolylactic acid (PLA) 610 $apolymeric composites 610 $apolysaccharides 610 $aporosity 610 $aporous structure 610 $aprecipitation 610 $apulp fibers 610 $apyrene 610 $apyrolysis mechanism 610 $arecycling 610 $aresource recovery 610 $arobust fiber network 610 $aSAXS 610 $ascanning electron microscope 610 $asensitivity 610 $asilanization 610 $asilkworm cocoons 610 $askincare 610 $aSolanyl 610 $asolution casting 610 $asolvent- and catalyst-free 610 $aStaphylococcus aureus 610 $astearoyl cellulose 610 $astorage stability 610 $astrain sensor 610 $astructural plastics 610 $astructure-property relationship 610 $asurface modification 610 $atannin 610 $atannin polymer 610 $atannin-furanic foam 610 $ataxifolin 610 $aTEMPO oxidation 610 $athermal degradation 610 $athermal gravimetric analysis 610 $athermal properties 610 $athermal stability 610 $athermoplastic starch 610 $athermosetting polymers 610 $aTiO2 anatase 610 $atissue engineering 610 $atoughening 610 $atransparent wood 610 $atransport properties 610 $atung oil 610 $atwo-step lyophilization 610 $aultrafiltration 610 $aunsaturated polyester resins 610 $aUV light 610 $avibrational spectroscopy 610 $avolatiles 610 $awaste biomass 610 $awastewater treatments 610 $awater resistance 610 $aWAXS 610 $awood 610 $awood modification 610 $aworkability 610 $aX-ray diffraction 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aSchnabel$b Thomas$4auth$01268705 702 $aTondi$b Gianluca$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404081003321 996 $aBio-Based Polymers for Engineered Green Materials$93039221 997 $aUNINA
