The readers of the book Just Technology: The Quest for Cultural, Economic, Environmental, and Technical Sustainability, Second Edition of will benefit from its systematic approach in evaluating the true sustainability challenges facing society and will learn how to address these challenges in a just manner.Since the publication of the first edition of the book, the concept of a just society has become more important. Several new contemporary examples are now included to reinforce the concepts introduced in the previous edition. The book presents a framework to evaluate the appropriateness of technological approaches to address critical sustainable issues. The framework comprises four questions that aim to create more just approaches by broadening the context engineers consider when formulating solutions.Addressing the complexity of today's global challenges requires new ways of thinking. The idea that technology is always the best, maybe the only approach, needs to be reconsidered, and sustainable approaches must also draw from nontechnological areas.

Universal Access to Sustainable, Affordable, and Reliable Electricity
Critical Insights for the Next Generation of Energy Systems
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
535 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book presents a framework for sustainable, affordable, and reliable electricity systems. It begins by examining the global energy situation, emphasizing the pressures of population growth, rapid urbanization, and environmental degradation. The critical aspects of reliability and resiliency are discussed next. Modern grids must balance the intermittency of renewable energy sources with the demand for a continuous supply. Energy storage, smart grids, and innovative market mechanisms all play a role, but they also raise questions about cost and feasibility.Another central theme is the rise of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage. These technologies promise to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, but they also affect electricity demand and intensify the need for critical minerals. Their rapid adoption requires infrastructure planning, recycling strategies, and grid integration.A distinctive contribution of this work is the identification of twelve key research gaps in energy transition knowledge, policy, and technology, and proposing strategies to move toward an energy future that is fair, resilient, and sustainable for generations to come.
