Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a boy born and raised in Bruce Mines, a town of five hundred people in northern Ontario, near the end of the Great Depression. When Art Pasanen was just four years old, nuclear fission was discovered, ushering in a new age of power generation… an industry which was destined to play a significant role in his life. From Splitting Wood to Splitting Atoms tracks Art’s life from a shy, introverted childhood to graduation from a large American university and a long, distinguished career as a nuclear engineer. The most impactful memories of his career are associated with his responsibility to supervise the initial start-up programs of reactors both in Canada and around the world. However, the crux of the story can be found in Art’s personal and spiritual life, highlighting the ways in which divine providence helped shape him. Through the crucible of adversity and hardship in childhood and following the examples of his family members, Art was given the opportunity to step through many doors and make many God-pleasing choices along the way.

Download or read book The Atomic City written by Terry L. Rosen and published by Eakin Press. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Atomic City" is a first-hand account of growing up in the dawning of the Atomic Age and at the epicenter of where it all took place. Terry L. Rosen's story is unique because he was not a scientist but a boy growing up, where it all started in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Amid World War II, an assemblage of the best scientists and engineers in the world worked in a secluded part of northern New Mexico on the development of an atomic bomb. They brought to this critical project a concentration of knowledge and skills encompassing many disciplines, unprecedented in history and likely unrepeatable. Against the backdrop of a beautiful mountainous environment, enriched by a mixture of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures and their histories, a modern drama replete with discord, failures, and triumphs—and its significance for history—was enacted with extraordinary dedication and urgency. Terry Rosen tells about his experiences growing up in Los Alamos during the period 1944–64, providing the reader with parallel coming-of-age stories for a youth and a town born within a year of each other. With sensitivity and humor, he brings the reader intimate glimpses of the personalities and accomplishments of several scientists and their colleagues who lived and worked at Los Alamos during that first phase of the community's existence.

Download or read book New Energies written by Stephen G. Gross and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 250 years, energy transitions have occurred repeatedly—the rise of coal in the nineteenth century, the explosion of oil in the twentieth century, the nuclear utopianism of the 1950s and 1960s. These transitions have been as revolutionary as any political or economic upheaval, and they required changes in infrastructure and behavior. Yet new energies never wholly replace old ones. This volume historicizes energy production and consumption while demonstrating how energy use has reshaped everything from social life and economic organization to political governance. It foregrounds the importance of energy for big historical questions about capitalism, democracy, inequality, the environment, and identity, and it argues that energy systems themselves merit attention as key agents of historical change. Given the urgency of climate change, and the central position that energy plays in causing and potentially solving global warming, this volume engages history as a discipline in the debate over what may be most monumental energy transition of all time: the shift away from fossil fuels.

Book Synopsis Split Screen Nation by : Susan Courtney
Download or read book Split Screen Nation written by Susan Courtney and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Split Screen Nation traces an oppositional dynamic between the screen West and the screen South that was unstable and dramatically shifting in the decades after WWII, and has marked popular ways of imagining the U.S. ever since. If this dynamic became vivid in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012), itself arguably a belated response to Easy Rider (1969), this book helps us understand those films, and much more, through an eclectic history of U.S. screen media from the postwar era. It deftly analyzes not only Hollywood films and television, but also educational and corporate films, amateur films (aka "home movies"), and military and civil defense films featuring "tests" of the atomic bomb in the desert. Attentive to sometimes profoundly different contexts of production and consumption shaping its varied examples, Split Screen Nation argues that in the face of the Cold War and the civil rights struggle an implicit, sometimes explicit, opposition between the screen West and the screen South nonetheless mediated the nation's most paradoxical narratives--namely, "land of the free"/land of slavery, conquest, and segregation. Whereas confronting such contradictions head-on could capsize cohesive conceptions of the U.S., by now familiar screen forms of the West and the South split them apart to offer convenient, discrete, and consequential imaginary places upon which to collectively project avowed aspirations and dump troubling forms of national waste. Pinpointing some of the most severe yet understudied postwar trends fueling this dynamic--including non-theatrical film road trips, feature films adapted from Tennessee Williams, and atomic test films--and mining their potential for more complex ways of thinking and feeling the nation, Split Screen Nation considers how the vernacular screen forms at issue have helped shape how we imagine not only America's past, but also the limits and possibilities of its present and future.
Book Synopsis The Chemistry of Lignin by : Friedrich Emil Brauns
Download or read book The Chemistry of Lignin written by Friedrich Emil Brauns and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 819 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemistry of Lignin provides a critical review of the literature published from 1949 to 1958. This book provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of lignin chemistry. Organized into 27 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the derivatives that are prepared for the characterization of the mother substance. This text then examines the various kinds of lignin and biosynthetic lignin-like products, which have been characterized by their behavior toward oxidation with nitrobenzene and alkali. Other chapters consider the morphological distribution of lignin in the wood fiber and the place of origin of lignin precursors and of the lignification process. This book discusses as well the formation or biosynthesis of lignin in plants and reviews the structure, isolation, and biosynthesis of lignin. The final chapter deals with producing lignin by the action of enzymes. This book is a valuable resource for lignin chemists, scientists, research workers, and botanists.
