The descendants of these immigrants, now scattered throughout the United States, are hardly aware that their ancestors participated in a unique attempt to organize and channel Jewish immigration. From their recruitment in Eastern Europe to their settlement in the American West, these immigrants were supervised by a network of agents and representatives. The project, known as the ?Galveston Movement,? brought over ten thousand Jews to the United States between the years 1907 and 1914. 606 $aJews$zTexas$zGalveston 606 $aImmigrants$zTexas$zGalveston 606 $aJews$xMigrations 615 0$aJews 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aJews$xMigrations. 700 $aMarinbach$b Bernard$f1946-$01510712 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785644603321 996 $aGalveston$93743547 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03836nam 22006614a 450 001 9910969183603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9781597266079 010 $a1597266078 010 $a9781417541898 010 $a141754189X 035 $a(CKB)1000000000003844 035 $a(OCoLC)56609650 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10064678 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000175578 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11170376 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000175578 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10203984 035 $a(PQKB)10615263 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3317332 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3317332 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10064678 035 $a(OCoLC)923186445 035 $a(Perlego)3288233 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000003844 100 $a20030926d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe hype about hydrogen $efact and fiction in the race to save the climate /$fJoseph J.

Nearly everyone -- environmentalists, mainstream media commentators, industry analysts, General Motors, and even President Bush -- seems to expect emission-free hydrogen fuel cells to ride to the rescue in a matter of years, or at most a decade or two. Not so fast, says Joseph Romm. In The Hype about Hydrogen, he explains why hydrogen isn't the quick technological fix it's cracked up to be, and why cheering for fuel cells to sweep the market is not a viable strategy for combating climate change. Buildings and factories powered by fuel cells may indeed become common after 2010, Joseph Romm argues, but when it comes to transportation, the biggest source of greenhouse-gas emissions, hydrogen is unlikely to have a significant impact before 2050. The Hype about Hydrogen offers a hype-free explanation of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, takes a hard look at the practical difficulties of transitioning to a hydrogen economy, and reveals why, given increasingly strong evidence of the gravity of climate change, neither government policy nor business investment should be based on the belief that hydrogen cars will have meaningful commercial success in the near or medium term. Romm, who helped run the federal government's program on hydrogen and fuel cells during the Clinton administration, provides a provocative primer on the politics, business, and technology of hydrogen and climate protection. 606 $aHydrogen$xResearch 606 $aFuel cells$xResearch 606 $aHydrogen as fuel$xEconomic aspects 606 $aGlobal warming$xPrevention 615 0$aHydrogen$xResearch. 615 0$aFuel cells$xResearch. 615 0$aHydrogen as fuel$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aGlobal warming$xPrevention. 676 $a333.79/68 700 $aRomm$b Joseph J$01803877 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969183603321 996 $aThe hype about hydrogen$94351629 997 $aUNINA
