Carbon Dreams
Oceanographer Tina Arenas studies climates of the distant geologic past, but her data has unexpectedly modern implications. Thrust into the growing controversy over global warming, Tina struggles to sort out her conflicting responsibilities to science and society. To complicate matters, she finds herself falling for Chip Stevens, a local organic farmer who has his own ideas about responsibility -- and love.
Carbon Copy
A teenage girl's odyssey from amateur thief to master criminal. On April 15, 1994 at 2 A.M., an individual, disguised as a policeman, rang the doorbell at the Elizabeth Phillips Museum in Boston. Forty-five minutes later four of the world's masterpieces disappeared from the face of the earth. A decade earlier a teenage girl made an amateur attempt to burglarize a house in the historic town of Lexington, and was caught by its owner. From that day forward, a lonely, frightened, unloved; teenager heading for inevitable disaster evolves into a beautiful, sophisticated young woman. A woman with knowledge far beyond her years, and the ability to seduce her adversaries in the quest to achieve her goals in life. She uses the talents taught to her by her mentor to establish herself in the art world as an expert, while she steals millions of dollars worth of art. FBI agent, Susan Cardello, is frustrated at every turn in the investigation, until she discovers a set of forgotten notes. The notes contain information, which only she would recognize, that makes everything crystal clear, but all too late.
Carbon
Carbon is the political challenge of our time. While critical to supporting life on Earth, too much carbon threatens to destroy life as we know it, with rising sea levels, crippling droughts, and catastrophic floods sounding the alarm on a future now upon us. How did we get here and what must be done? In this incisive book, Kate Ervine unravels carbon's distinct political economy, arguing that, to understand global warming and why it remains so difficult to address, we must go back to the origins of industrial capitalism and its swelling dependence on carbon-intensive fossil fuels – coal, oil, and natural gas – to grease the wheels of growth and profitability. Taking the reader from carbon dioxide as chemical compound abundant in nature to carbon dioxide as greenhouse gas, from the role of carbon in the rise of global capitalism to its role in reinforcing and expanding existing patterns of global inequality, and from carbon as object of environmental governance to carbon as tradable commodity, Ervine exposes emerging struggles to decarbonize our societies for what they are: battles over the very meaning of democracy and social and ecological justice.
Automotive Carbon Fiber Composites
The development of new materials that are technically and economically viable is no small endeavor. The risks, costs, and time involved in research are usually so high that only governments or private consortia can bear them. And so it has been with the trajectory of carbon fiber reinforced composites, which are capable of providing the lightweighting needed for fuel efficiency, and the mechanical strength required for safety. After a long development cycle, this material is now being widely used by the military, in commercial aircraft, and in the automotive industry. Automotive Carbon Fiber Composites: From Evolution to Implementation, written by Dr. Jackie Rehkopf, senior researcher at Pla...

My Side of the Bed
On the outside, I remained poised and collected. Within, I searched for answers . . . The signs were there. Her husband was distant. Angry. He withdrew if she so much as lightly brushed his shoulder. Still, nothing prepared Margherita Gale Harris for the day when Mark -- a physician and Episcopal priest -- confessed to having sexual encounters with hundreds of strangers. They both sought counseling, to no avail. Faced with his shocking betrayal, Gale wondered if their entire marriage was a lie. Could she forgive Mark for lying? Could she forgive herself for staying so long? More secrets were revealed. Divorce ended thirty-five years of marriage. Her lawyer said, see your bishop. The road to recovery was treacherous and filled with surprises. Support came from numerous individuals: new friends and former classmates . . . and the daughter she’d placed for adoption many years ago.
Cobwebs
Jamie Aldrich has never heard of the Osage Reign of Terror, the horrible kidnappings and murders of the oil-rich members of the Osage Tribe in the 1920s, the FBI's first case. All that changes when she returns to Pawhuska, Oklahoma after a thirty-year absence to check on her great aunt Elizabeth. Soon after her arrival, Elizabeth tells Jamie, "my whole life has been a sham." Minutes later, her aunt lies in a coma, the victim of an attack. Jamie has no idea who would want to harm her aunt, but it becomes clear that the danger hasn't passed. While Elizabeth remains in the hospital, Jamie is repeatedly threatened and meets with several strange "accidents." The longer she stays, the more she feels she can’t trust anyone in Pawhuska -- not even Sam, the first man she's had feelings for since her husband died. Will Jamie be able to discover the truth before both she and Elizabeth are silenced forever?
