Book Description
Plucked from a humble nomad family to become the leader of one of Tibet’s oldest Buddhist lineages, the young Seventeenth Karmapa draws on timeless values to create an urgent ethic for today’s global community. We have always been, and will always be, interconnected—through family, community, and shared humanity. As our planet changes and our world grows smaller, it is vital we not only recognize our connections to one another and to the earth but also begin actively working together as interdependent individuals to create a truly global society. The Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is uniquely positioned to guide us in this process. Drawing on years of intensive Buddhist training and a passionate commitment to social issues, he teaches how we can move from a merely intellectual understanding to a fully lived experience of connection. By first seeing, then feeling, and finally living these connections, we can become more effective agents of social and ethical change. The Karmapa shows us how gaining emotional awareness of our connectedness can fundamentally reshape the human race. He then guides us to action, showing step by step how we can change the way we use the earth’s resources and can continue to better our society. In clear language, the Karmapa draws connections between such seemingly far-flung issues as consumer culture, loneliness, animal protection, and self-reliance. In the process, he helps us move beyond theory to practical and positive social and ethical change.

Book Description
This volume provides an introduction to and overview of the emerging field of interconnected networks which include multilayer or multiplex networks, as well as networks of networks. Such networks present structural and dynamical features quite different from those observed in isolated networks. The presence of links between different networks or layers of a network typically alters the way such interconnected networks behave – understanding the role of interconnecting links is therefore a crucial step towards a more accurate description of real-world systems. While examples of such dissimilar properties are becoming more abundant – for example regarding diffusion, robustness and competition – the root of such differences remains to be elucidated. Each chapter in this topical collection is self-contained and can be read on its own, thus making it also suitable as reference for experienced researchers wishing to focus on a particular topic.

Book Description
Interconnected Modern Multi-Energy Networks and Intelligent Transportation Systems A timely introduction to the revolutionary technologies reshaping the global energy market The search for more efficient and sustainable ways to meet society’s energy requirements has driven recent technological innovation on an unprecedented scale. The energy needs of a growing population coupled with concerns about climate change have posed unique challenges that necessitate novel energy technologies. The transition of modern energy grids towards multi-energy networks, or MENs, promises to be a fundamental transformation in the way we energize our world. Interconnected Modern Multi-Energy Networks and Intelligent Transportation Systems presents an overview of the foundational methodologies and technologies underlying MENs and the groundbreaking vehicle systems that bring them together. With the inclusion of transformative technologies from radically different sectors, the content covered in this book will be of high value for researchers interested in future energy systems. Readers will also find: In-depth examination of the process of switching from conventional transportation systems to modern intelligent transportation ones Detailed discussions of topics including self-driving vehicles, hybrid energy technologies, grid-edge, and more The introduction of a holistic, reconfigurable system adaptable to vastly different conditions and forms of network interaction Interconnected Modern Multi-Energy Networks and Intelligent Transportation Systems is useful for researchers in electrical, mechanical, civil, architectural, or environmental engineering, as well as for telecommunications researchers and for any industry professionals with an interest in energy transportation.

Book Description
This book offers an original hypothesis capable of unifying evolution in the physical universe with evolution in biology; herewith it lays the conceptual foundations of “transdisciplinary unified theory”. The rationale for the hypothesis is presented first; then the theoretical framework is outlined, and thereafter it is explored in regard to quantum physics, physical cosmology, micro– and macro–biology, and the cognitive sciences (neurophysiology, psychology, with attention to anomalous phenomena as well). The book closes with a variety of studies, both by the author and his collaborators, sketching out the implications of the hypothesis in regard to brain dynamics, cosmology, the concept of space, phenomena of creativity, and the prospects for the elaboration of a mature transdisciplinary unified theory. The Foreword is written by philosopher of science Arne Naess, and the Afterword is contributed by neuroscientist Karl Pribram.

It demonstrates the anomalies and lacunae in the current narrative we call science and develops a new narrative that aims to carry our comprehension beyond these limitation … Laszlo has, indeed, filled the need for the twenty-first century renewal of the narrative or science which has been so neglected during the twentieth.” From the Afterword by Karl Pribram “This book offers a grand philosophical synthesis which is open to, and invites, empirical refutation at every point.” The Scientific and Medical Network

Book Description
Global energy network is an important platform to guarantee effective exploitation of global clean energy and ensure reliable energy supply for everybody. Global Energy Interconnection analyzes the current situation and challenges of global energy development, provides the strategic thinking, overall objective, basic pattern, construction method and development mode for the development of global energy network. Based on the prediction of global energy and electricity supply and demand in the future, with the development of UHV AC/DC and smart grid technologies, this book offers new solutions to drive the safe, clean, highly efficient and sustainable development of global energy. The concept and development ideas concerning global energy interconnection in this book are based on the author’s thinking of strategic issues about China’s and the world’s energy and electricity development for many years, especially combined with successful practices of China’s UHV development. This book is particularly suitable for researchers and graduated students engaged in energy sector, as well as energy economics researchers, economists, consultants, and government energy policy makers in relevant fields. Based on the author's many years' experience in developing Smart Grid solutions within national and international projects. Combines both solid background information and cutting-edge technology progress, coupled with a useful and impressive list of references. The key energy problems which are challenging us nowadays are well stated and explained in this book, which facilitates a better understanding of the development of global energy interconnection with UHV AC/DC and smart grid technologies.
