Settling the Earth
Author: Clive GamblePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107013267
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
How and when did we become the only human species to settle the whole earth? How did our brains become so large? In this book, Clive Gamble sets out to answer these fundamental questions, digging deep into the archives of archaeology, fossil ancestors and human genetics. The wealth of detail in these sources allows him to write a completely new account of our earliest beginnings: a deep history in which we devised solutions not only to the technical challenges of global settlement but also cracked the problem, long before writing and smartphones, of how to live apart yet stay in touch.
Energy Resources for Human Settlement in the Solar System and Earth's Future in Space
Author: William A. AmbrosePublisher: AAPG
ISBN: 0891813829
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The book's purpose is to provide the quantitative foundation for beginning to think about developing energy and minerals outside of Earth's atmosphere that are necessary to support scientific missions, space and extra-terrestrial scientific stations and permanent colonies, and ultimately expand Earth's economy beyond the near-earth environment to include space resources. We cannot envision a situation where all resources required for future space activities are exported from Earth, therefore, this book clearly illustrates that an effective economy is possible beyond Earth's surface when we consider the resources available in near-Earth space. Our first audience is members of AAPG, American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) and other professionals engaged in energy and resource development. As energy professionals, we are concerned on a daily basis with providing the necessary energy and minerals required for our growing world population and the increasing standard of living that comes with ample energy availability. And more than anything else, AAPG members are explorers. We are the professionals who have pushed back the boundaries of our resource base, from capturing petroleum resources from surface seeps, to drilling onshore wells to extract oil and gas, and to venturing offshore into increasingly difficult and hostile environments to supply the cheap and abundant energy made available by our advances in technology. There are more similarities than differences between deepwater exploration and development, and space exploration. Beyond our own members, however, our audience is every rational human being who understands human health and well-being, quality of life, education and freedom are dependent on the energy and minerals that support our advanced civilization. Space is the next frontier, and as the world civilization expands beyond Earth's surface we hope this publication serves to illustrate there are abundant opportunities to support and maintain - and in fact, allow to prosper - civilization's expansion into space -- Publisher's website.
Settling Space
Author: John K. StricklandPublisher:
ISBN: 9781989044162
Category : Outer space
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
"From John Strickland, a 40 year veteran space advocate and a Director with the National Space Society, with collaboration from Sam Spencer, a leading industrial development expert (a Process Development Expert at TechnipFMC ), who has been involved in asteroid mining and several innovative multi-billion dollar mega-projects, and Anna Nesterova, a talented digital artist, comes a detailed and practical account of how the future of mankind in space can evolve in the short term, and where it can aspire to in the long term. Settling Space, the second book in a series (with Developing Space) has been specifically written (taking into account the actual physical and chemical characteristics of the asteroids, the moon, Mars and the galaxy) to construct an example of a realistic, holistic and accessible space development agenda for humanity’s initial expansion from Earth onto other worlds. In Settling Space, the authors clearly and absolutely define what humanity needs to do to become a multi-planet, and eventually multi-system, species. This book includes sections on how humans can operate in the solar system, the settlement of Mars, asteroids as both a threat and a resource, building rotating settlements in space, terraforming Mars and other planets, realistic fusion-powered starships and future expeditions to terraform and settle exoplanets."--Publisher's description.
The Human Factor in the Settlement of the Moon
Author: Margaret Boone RappaportPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030813886
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Approaching the settlement of our Moon from a practical perspective, this book is well suited for space program planners. It addresses a variety of human factor topics involved in colonizing Earth's Moon, including: history, philosophy, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, politics & policy, sociology, and anthropology. Each chapter identifies the complex, interdisciplinary issues of the human factor that arise in the early phases of settlement on the Moon. Besides practical issues, there is some emphasis placed on preserving, protecting, and experiencing the lunar environment across a broad range of occupations, from scientists to soldiers and engineers to construction workers. The book identifies utilitarian and visionary factors that shape human lives on the Moon. It offers recommendations for program planners in the government and commercial sectors and serves as a helpful resource for academic researchers. Together, the coauthors ask and attempt to answer: “How will lunar society be different?”
Settlement in the Irish Neolithic
Author: Jessica SmythPublisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1842174975
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
The Irish Neolithic has been dominated by the study of megalithic tombs, but the defining element of Irish settlement evidence is the rectangular timber Early Neolithic house, the numbers of which have more than quadrupled in the last ten years. The substantial Early Neolithic timber house was a short-lived architectural phenomenon of as little as 90 years, perhaps like short-lived Early Neolithic long barrows and causewayed enclosures. This book explores the wealth of evidence for settlement and houses throughout the Irish Neolithic, in relation to Britain and continental Europe. More importantly it incorporates the wealth of new, and often unpublished, evidence from developer-led archaeological excavations and large grey-literature resources. The settlement evidence scattered across the landscape, and found as a result of developer-funded work, provides the social context for the more famous stone monuments that have traditionally shaped our views of the Neolithic in Ireland. It provides the first comprehensive review of the Neolithic settlement of Ireland, which enables a more holistic and meaningful understanding of the Irish Neolithic.
