In this book, Vaclav Smil argues that power density is a key determinant of the nature and dynamics of energy systems. Any understanding of complex energy systems must rely on quantitative measures of many fundamental variables. Power density—the rate of energy flux per unit of area—is an important but largely overlooked measure. Smil provides the first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of the power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, thermal electricity generation, and all common energy uses.

Le indagini del tenente Roversi. 1962. Nel giro di pochi giorni, tre omicidi – uno ad Alghero, uno a Cagliari e uno a Roma – vengono portati all’attenzione del tenente Roversi. Le tre morti paiono del tutto scollegate: le vittime non avevano legami tra di loro, e anche le modalità con cui sono state uccise sono molto diverse l’una dall’altra. Eppure, una curiosa circostanza accomuna gli omicidi. In tutti e tre i casi sembra infatti esserci un solo indiziato dal movente credibile; tuttavia, ciascuno dei tre sospettati presenta un alibi di ferro che lo scagiona da ogni accusa.

Each of us has but one life to live on this earth. What we do with it is our choice.

In this new history of the conflict that defined the postwar era, Sergey Radchenko provides a deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin's decision-making. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin's postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev's reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev's jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow.

The Ukraine is a collection of twenty-six pieces that deliberately blur the line between nonfiction and fiction, conjuring the essence of a beloved country through its tastes, smells, and sounds, its small towns and big cities, its people and their compassion and indifference, simplicities and complications. The Ukraine conveys to listeners a place that Chapeye and his countrymen are currently fighting for with their lives. The book features a preface by the author, which he composed on his phone from the front lines.
