Can "green petroleum" reverse global warming and bring down high gasoline prices? Written in non-technical language for the layperson, this book investigates and details how the oil and gas industry can "go green" with new processes and technologies, thus bringing the world''s most important industry closer to environmental and economic sustainability.
This book unravels the mysteries of the current energy crisis and argues that solutions to global warming will come only from the development of new technologies. Discussed here are the reasons why petroleum operations, as they are now, are not sustainable; how each practice treads an inherently implosive path; and how each spells irreversible damage to the planet''s ecosystem. Fossil fuel consumption is not the culprit; rather, the practices involved, from exploration to refining and processing, are responsible for the current damage to the environment.

Is "zero waste engineering" possible?
This book outlines how to achieve zero waste engineering, following natural pathways that are truly sustainable. Using methods that have been developed in various areas for sustainability purposes, such as new mathematical models, recyclable material selection, and renewable energy, the authors probe the principles of zero waste engineering and how it can be applied to construction, energy production, and many other areas of engineering.
This groundbreaking new volume:
Explores new scientific principles on which sustainability and zero waste engineering can be based Presents new models for energy efficiency, cooling processes, and natural chemical and material selection in industrial applications and business Explains how "green buildings" and "green homes" can be efficiently built and operated with zero waste Offers case histories and successful experiments in sustainability and zero-waste engineeringIdeal for:
Engineers and scientists of all industries, including the energy industry, construction, the process industries, and manufacturing. Chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, petroleum engineers, process engineers, civil engineers, and many other types of engineers would all benefit from reading this exciting new volume.

It has long been recognized that science is the pursuit of knowledge, knowledge is power, and power is political. However, the fantasy of science being apolitical is a hallmark legacy of the enlightenment era, an era that romanticized pursuit of knowledge, disconnected from the baggage of power, politics, and dogmatic assertions. Yet, while the age of information has exponentially increased our access to knowledge, we can see, as clearly as ever, that scientific knowledge is neither apolitical nor dogma-free, and it certainly is not disconnected from power. It is hard to imagine another era when the separation between science and politics has been this blurred as it is today. At the same time, it is true that no other topic than climate change has been so politically charged, with one side dominating the scientific narration and branding anyone opposing the mainstream as a “climate change denier,” and the other standing in staunch defiance that climate change exists. In an age of political and scientific turmoil, how can we navigate out way to coming towards a more objective understanding of the scientific issues surrounding the climate change debate?
This book presents the current debate of climate change as scientifically futile, on both sides of the scientific, and often, political, spectrum. The climate change debate has become like obesity, cancer, diabetes or opioid addiction, which is to say that the debate should not be if these maladies exist, but rather, what causes them. Instead of looking for the cause and making adjustments to remove those causes from our lifestyle, a combination of the capitalist drive towards mass production and a lack of identifying the roots of the problems, new solutions, or substitutes, have been proposed as "quick fixes" to the problems. This book identifies the root causes of climate change and shows that climate change is real and it is also preventable, but that it can be reversed only if we stop introducing pollutants in the ensuing greenhouse gases. The book brings back common sense and grounds scientists to the fundamentals of heat and mass transfer, while at the same time disconnecting politicking and hysteria from true scientific analysis of the phenomenon of global climate.

Most progressive among all faiths in the contemporary world, Islam is not only a religion, but also a complete code of life. Introduced in the beginning of the 7th century, Islam removed the thick blankets of ignorance, which were covering whole of the Arabian Peninsula. Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) invited people to Islam to which they responded very harshly and inhumanely. Apart from religious and moral aspects, Islam laid special emphasis on the attainment of education, as an obligatory duty, enjoined on both males and females. It is in this background that Islamic scientific era refers to various diverse developments, caused by Muslim scientists, during the period, known as Islamic Golden Age, Most of the significant scientific advancements were made from 8th to 15thcentury. All the sciences of this period are sometimes referred to as Arabic sciences, because of the Language-Arabic, the (then) lingua franca. The Islamic approach recognizes the limitations rotations of the human mind and acknowledges that all knowledge and wisdom vest in Allah, the Almighty alone. The distinguishing feature, which made Islamic science, superior to that of its western counterpart, is the higher degree of ethics and values. On the contrary, modern science has endless preoccupations that have little or no consideration in respect of ethics or morality. There are hardly any comprehensive and exhaustive books on the subject and there was being felt a pressing need to bring out inauthentic work. This voluminous work is a precious asset for all scholars, researchers and all those, engaged in an academic pursuit, concerning Islamic Studies.
