DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... well intellectually and all he learns now will stand him in good stead finally. More men who graduate with honours, I am told, do well in after life than those who merely skim through college. After this year Hugh will go to work and his year in the Graduate School will surely help him." "You don't know what you are talking about, my dear," Mrs. Warren put in. "This year for him is mere intellectual debauch." "Why, Bessie, how can you?" "I don't know how I can, but I certainly can. The browsing about among pleasant books while some one else pays the bills--I'm sure poor Evelyn Brandon can't do it--is morally degrading--yes, degrading is the word because it's what I mean. That boy has no idea of the difference between work and play. He imagines there will always be some one to pay his way, and there won't be. At least I hope not." "He may marry a rich girl." "That's the danger, since he's good looking. I believe it's the looks that take in even you, my dear, who ought to be old enough to see beneath the surface. But you are as susceptible as a girl of eighteen. When that boy does something I shall have more respect for his handsome face." "He has published a volume of poems." "Yes--and what did the reviews say of them? 'As slim as the volume that held them, ' I remember, and 'as pale as its covers.' That was the trouble. They were charming, but mere trifles, jeux d'esprit. They weren't even worked over. They came without effort--otherwise they would not have come at all. And with the publisher he had a friend at court." "The first edition was sold out. The public must have liked them."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow much further should the affluent world push its material consumption? Does relative dematerialization lead to absolute decline in demand for materials? These and many other questions are discussed and answered in Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization. Over the course of time, the modern world has become dependent on unprecedented flows of materials. Now even the most efficient production processes and the highest practical rates of recycling may not be enough to result in dematerialization rates that would be high enough to negate the rising demand for materials generated by continuing population growth and rising standards of living. This book explores the costs of this dependence and the potential for substantial dematerialization of modern economies. Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization considers the principal materials used throughout history, from wood and stone, through to metals, alloys, plastics and silicon, describing their extraction and production as well as their dominant applications. The evolving productivities of material extraction, processing, synthesis, finishing and distribution, and the energy costs and environmental impact of rising material consumption are examined in detail. The book concludes with an outlook for the future, discussing the prospects for dematerialization and potential constrains on materials. This interdisciplinary text provides useful perspectives for readers with backgrounds including resource economics, environmental studies, energy analysis, mineral geology, industrial organization, manufacturing and material science.
