Imagine a world freed from the damaging demands of the oil economy; a world powered by 'fuel-less' energy; a world where all countries - rich and poor - have freely available electricity. Too good to be true? Or simply too good to be allowed? For over a hundred years, a maverick group of inventors and scientists have struggled to develop technologies which may end our addiction to fossil fuels. Their extraordinary and controversial discoveries now offer the potential to defuse the global climate crisis and yet they face opposition - both from the oil-dominated energy market and from the scientific establishment.Drawing on extensive and revealing research, this is the story of the mavericks, geniuses and madmen who have set out on a path paved with good intentions, and yet who have often arrived soaked with the bad blood of betrayal and conspiracy. Filled with colourful characters - mad, sane and brilliant - The Scientist, the Madman, the Thief and their Lightbulb has all the elements of a dramatic conspiracy thriller in which greed, suicide, murder, jealousy and misunderstood genius all play their full parts.

This work reveals the work of inventors and scientists who are developing clean and "fuelless" ways to produce the electricity we need for the 21st century and beyond. It looks at the technologies that could drastically change the economic, political and environmental conditions of the world we live in. If developed commercially, they could offer almost costless energy and end the oil economy throughout the world. The book also investigates the psychology of invention and the claims that some inventors trick gullible investors out of their savings.

<p>THE SCIENTIST, THE MADMAN, THE THIEF AND THEIR LIGHTBULB reveals the revolutionary work of inventors and scientists who have struggled to develop clean and 'fuelless' new ways to produce the electricity we need for the 21st century and beyond. If the technologies could be developed commercially, they would offer almost costless energy, which would mean the end of the oil economy and freely available electricity throughout the developed and underdeveloped world. THE SCIENTIST, THE MADMAN, THE THIEF AND THEIR LIGHTBULB contains the elements of a dramatic conspiracy thriller in which greed, mendacity, murder, suicide, suppression, betrayal, jealousy, madness and misunderstood genius all play their full parts. It also investigates the complex psychology of invention and reserves a chapter for those inventors who are either self-deluded mavericks or charlatans who aim to trick gullible investors out of their savings. Most importantly, there are technologies here that offer to solve the planet's most serious problem: global warming and climate change caused by fossil fuel power plants and car emissions. Is the technological solution to global warming contained within these pages?</p>

Those adorable fox cubs — Pablo, Poppy, and Pumpkin — are back for another adventure. Pablo (who has appeared on the Disney Channel) likes the look of the big house at the end of the garden where Finbar the cat lives, so he and Pumpkin decide to find out what it's like inside. As they roam around exploring they leave a trail of chaos behind them, and the sudden return of Finbar's owners spells not only trouble for Pablo — but a sooty change of identity too!
