Response to Marine Oil Pollution - Review and Assessment is the essential source book, now updated, for all involved in marine oil pollution consequences and response. It covers policy, planning and operations, and provides technical assessment of the true nature of the problem, of the means to maximise the performance of current techniques and equipment, and of the bases for future improvements. This book provides a fundamental understanding of the oil properties and processes which determine the persistence and impacts of oils in the marine environment. It establishes parameters against which to evaluate performance of all current techniques and equipment, and the environmental impacts of their use. It identifies design parameters, and makes proposals for the creation and development of more effective equipment and techniques. The book also shows how a fresh approach to cargo transfer, and the scaling of spillage response provision to oil releases on immediate impact, will be more effective overall, and will ensure that approved waste handling and disposal facilities are not overwhelmed. The recent Sea Empress incident is reviewed to illustrate the points made and conclusions reached, and to emphasise the need for thorough salvage planning for all future incidents.

Nel 2016, Jennifer McAdam si trova alle prese con grosse difficoltà economiche. Abbandonato il lavoro a causa di una malattia cronica, la quarantaseienne scozzese è alla disperata ricerca di un modo per rimpolpare le sue finanze, ed è allora che si imbatte in OneCoin, la criptovaluta creata da Ruja Ignatova. Sembra la risposta a tutti i suoi problemi: OneCoin promette forti guadagni e sta attraendo finanziatori da tutto il mondo. Ma dopo aver investito praticamente tutto quello che ha, Jennifer comincia a sentire odore di bruciato. Quando un giornalista la contatta accusandola di essere coinvolta in una delle più grandi truffe della Storia, la prima reazione di Jennifer è di rabbia. Non riesce a credere che la “famiglia” di OneCoin, quel nucleo che l’aveva accolta e fatta sentire al sicuro per la prima volta in vita sua, fosse in buona parte composta da criminali. Si lancia in un’accurata ricerca, interroga lo staff dell’azienda e scopre l’amara verità: la moneta virtuale che OneCoin vende agli investitori non ha alcun valore e non è possibile riscattarla con vero denaro. Da allora, comincia per Jennifer una lotta senza quartiere contro Ruja Ignatova, per portare a galla l’inganno e dare giustizia a chi come lei ha messo il proprio futuro nelle sue mani. Una lotta contro un’azienda milionaria che somiglia quasi a una setta, in cui dominano l’omertà e l’asservimento. Da questo libro presto un film evento per la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer «Uno sconvolgente tuffo in un mare fatto di frodi finanziarie e truffatori misteriosi.» Kirkus Reviews «Una storia che mostra cosa significa ricercare la giustizia a ogni costo, anche davanti a delle minacce di morte.» Booklist «Un avvincente libro a metà tra il memoir e il racconto true crime, impossibile interrompere la lettura prima di aver voltato l’ultima pagina.» Publishers Weekly Jennifer McAdam ha lavorato nel settore del marketing fino al 2016, quando una encefalomielite mialgica l’ha costretta a ritirarsi. Dopo aver scoperto la frode della criptovaluta OneCoin, ha dedicato la sua vita a cercare giustizia per le migliaia di persone che come lei sono state ingannate dall’azienda.

This book presents a new perspective on the link between economic growth and environmental change. All the key issues in environmental economics are covered, including: * industry, creation and environmental change * air, water and toxic pollution * economic growth and the limits of environmental regulation * ethics and the limits of environmental economics. The central thesis is that whilst new industries are necessary for economic growth, their development creates new environmental problems which become difficult to reverse. An alternative approach, 'steady-state economics', based on the concept of ethical commitment, is put forward as a possible alternative to a high-growth, environmentally destructive economy. Providing a welcome alternative to conventional, neoclassical microeconomic thought on environmental issues, this will be vital reading for students of environmental economics and related subjects.
