Product Description 
Critical Materials takes a case-study approach, describing materials supply-chain failures from the bronze age to present day. It looks at why these failures occurred, what the consequences were, and how they were resolved. It identifies key lessons to guide responses to current and anticipated materials shortages at a time when the world’s growing middle class is creating unprecedented demand for manufactured products and the increasingly exotic materials that go into them. This book serves as a guide to materials researchers and industrial end-users for finding effective approaches to shortages of specialty materials. 
The lessons in the book are also appropriate to those who use materials and for those involved in manufacturing supply-chain management and industrial design.

In the 1970s, the Club of Rome launched the book "The Limits to Growth". Essential reading for all those concerned about the future of the planet, the book was translated into 37 languages. Now, President Emeritus Alexander King and Secretary General Bertrand Schneider review global problems 20 years on, offering both a warning and an approach to a possible solution to world problems. Topics covered by this book include the need for the world to convert from a military to a civil economy, the recognition of the disastrous short-term effects of exploitation by First World countries of Third World poverty and need, and the containment of global warming: the need to reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide, to encourage reforestation, to conserve traditional forms of energy and develop alternatives,

Jimmy the Weasel works the beat in Little London, a neon-soaked post-war city rife with crime and corruption. It also has its bad points. Datsik is a nine-hundred-pound Kamchatka bear that thinks he's Winnie the Pooh. Emil Lanksy is a Tulpa, the outsourced personality of a very dull young man. All Bravilor Bonamat wants is to LightJockey at Rancids and get through another shift without being dragged into criminal activity. Over the next few nights, shipping containers of human cargo will tie them all together and end up redefining reality itself.
