The world has entered a new era of geopolitical conflict.

In this groundbreaking book, Jason Schenker, a top-ranked economist and futurist, provides a data-driven, forward-looking analysis of Cold War Two—how it began, where it’s headed, and what it means for businesses, policymakers, investors, and national security leaders.

The United States is addicted to crude oil. In this book, Andrew Price-Smith argues that this addiction has distorted the conduct of American foreign policy in profound and malign ways, resulting in interventionism, exploitation, and other illiberal behaviors that hide behind a facade of liberal internationalism. The symbiotic relationship between the state and the oil industry has produced deviations from rational foreign energy policy, including interventions in Iraq and elsewhere.

In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over 30 years Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis.

Uranium is a common element in the earth's crust and the only naturally occurring mineral with the power to end all life on the planet. After World War II, it reshaped the global order---whoever could master uranium could master the world. Marie Curie gave us hope that uranium would be a miracle panacea, but the Manhattan Project gave us reason to believe that civilization would end with apocalypse.

Corruption spreads with perfect, mathematical precision. Deep within the Nexus, what remains of Commander Edwin Drayven—once human, now something more—prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice. The Twilight Bastions are no longer content with conquest. Their champion, Lord Carric, offers a grim ultimatum: surrender to synthesis… or be erased. But Bastion won’t fall quietly. Humanity’s last hope lies in a ...

In a world where oil-rich states are more likely to start war than their oil-dependent counterparts, it's surprising how little attention is still paid to these so-called petrostates. These states' wealth props up the global arms trade, provides diplomatic leverage, and allows them to support violent and nonviolent proxies. In Oil, the State, and War, Emma Ashford explores the many potential links between domestic oil production and foreign policy behavior and how oil production influences global politics.

The governments of Canada and the United States begin to slowly reinstate themselves and attempt to suppress the anarchy that has swept their countries after the Three-Hour War. Once governmental control and peace are reestablished, the bigger problem of asking the Galactic government for a second chance is revisited. But before we can get humanity’s death sentence reversed, we have to make the Galactic government listen to us. The problem is, no matter how hard we wave our hands and shout, all we get back is silence. As a last resort, a young woman volunteers to be sent on a suicide ...

In Fueling Freedom, energy experts Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White make an unapologetic case for fossil fuels, turning around progressives' protestations to prove that if fossil fuel energy is supplanted by "green" alternatives for political reasons, humanity will take a giant step backwards and the planet will be less safe, less clean, and less free.

"Vanished is a scientific, political, environmental, and medical thriller where the action begins from the first line and doesn’t let up until the very end. It’s a page-turning rollercoaster ride and is highly recommended." Readers' Favorite A ship washes ashore in the Philippines without a single crew member aboard. All residents of an alpine village disappear without a trace. Connecting the two events is the appearance of strange, metallic spheres and scorch marks in both locations. An NSA team led by agents Alton and Mallory Blackwell discover a link between the disappearances and a ...

THERE are seasons in life when everything seems to shaking. Old landmarks are crumbling. Venerable foundations are up-heaved in a night, and are scattered abroad as dust. Guiding buoys snap their moorings, and go drifting down the channel. Institutions which promised to outlast the hills collapse like a stricken tent. Assumptions in which everybody trusted burst like air-balloons. Everything seems to lose its base, and trembles in uncertainty and confusion. Such seasons are known in our personal life. One day our circumstances appear to share the un-shaken solidity of the planet, and our ...

HE TURNED NIGHT into day with the invention of alternating current which is still the standard today; he was the father of over one hundred patents, his genius was overshadowed by malefic individuals who called him a quintessential mad scientist, he was ripped off by Thomas Edison for fifty thousand dollars, and the FBI had a large dossier of him which later disappeared. In 1943 he was found dead in a small hotel room in New York. His name was Nikola Tesla.

Nuclear Energy Between Peace and War: The Story of Destruction in the Middle East or Its Resurrection dives into the intricate world of nuclear energy in the Middle East and North Africa. Written by experienced journalist and activist Issam Khoury, the book explores the dual nature of nuclear energy—its potential for peaceful use versus its risks for military conflict—amidst a region marked by political and sectarian strife.

Rituals that involve harvesting the emotional energy of whole populations are the very root of why the world's mainstream media even exists and are given the powers they are given to promote an entity or agenda even against the interests of the people. The extent to which these rituals are rooted in human blood sacrifice, ritual abuse are known to few as well as they are to the Jews, who through history have been a favorite sacrificial object. The use of human hormones in the perfume industry is well known but very little has been written about hormones of trauma taken from those ...

The aliens who gave humanity its death sentence are still not responding to our overtures for a negotiation. We keep trying to open communications with them but all we get back is silence. Russia tried to nuke them but all that happened was Moscow was sent into the sun. Even with the invention of an artificial uterus, the so-called Baby Machine, the Earth’s population of humans has begun a steady decline that, unless something changes, will end in ninety-some years with the death of the last human being. The three graduate students who discovered wormholes, Lily Yuan, Kevin Langly, and ...

Poco dopo la fine della guerra contro l'ISIS, il professor Kevin Adler, accademico docente di geofisica, viene invitato come relatore da una università del Medio Oriente per un'importante conferenza sul futuro dell'energia.
