  Energy 3.0

  Rudy Provoost

  • Cherche Midi
  • 9782749145761

  Parution : 3 Octobre 2013 - Entrée pnb : 11 Mars 2017

  Buildings that produce their own energy and respond to our everyday needs; simple management tools that improve the comfort of our homes making them more economical and connecting them to the world; safer, smarter and more sustainable towns and cities that provide greater mobility, improve communication and make life easier for everyone. These are just a few examples of the energy transformation that is underway. The energy world has entered a new chapter in its history, a digital age that will impact our lives as much as the advent of electricity did at the end of the 19th century, bringing with it a groundbreaking wave of innovations that blur the lines between the energy and the digital space. Across the urban and built environment, new technologies are already advancing the convergence of different economic models with the energy system and infrastructure. This will fundamentally change the energy landscape and give each one of us access to tailor-made energy solutions adapted to our needs and means. This book Energy 3.0 discusses how these changes will continue to evolve and stimulate growth. It also investi- gates the new tools and services that will be made available to everyone and how the entire energy sector, as we know it, is going to reinvent itself, spurring job creation and the emergence of new energy professions.

  Making the new

  Erik Orsenna, Stéphane Quéré

  • Cherche Midi
  • 9782749170718

  Parution : 4 Octobre 2018 - Entrée pnb : 25 Février 2021

  From new apps on our cellphone to car-sharing, from the invasion of drones to the reorganization of production lines, from tweets to digital tablets and procreation methods, from genetic manipulations to nanotechnologies, innovation is everywhere.
  It has penetrated and turned upside-down all the economic, social, cultural and political sectors.
  Nothing escapes it. Nothing can survive without it. Permanent innovation, that headlong search for the new, is the originality of our period.
  What world are we living in?
  How can we find our way in a profusion like this?
  How can we evaluate the meaning and usefulness of this general and growing agitation of our societies?
  What universe is being prepared?
  For three years, at regular morning sessions, we invited the most diverse personalities: heads of major groups and startup creators, scientists and philosophers, elected officials and physicians, foreign and French experts in many fields. They tackled every subject: the energy and digital transitions, the biological revolution, green mobility, new towns, those consumers who have become actors.
  Everything moves! Montaigne was right: "Our world eternally turns around.'
  Here is a modest contribution to the portrait of our modernity. Lire la suite Fermer

  Plastic Bashing : Fake News ?

  Joseph Tayefeh

  • Cherche Midi
  • 9782749183404

  Parution : 12 Décembre 2024 - Entrée pnb : 15 Décembre 2024

  The negative press and political opposition to plastic hide
  a complex reality. When criticism is left unchallenged, our
  right to open debate is frustrated.
  What is the real situation with plastic? Is it truly public
  enemy number 1?
  Without dodging the core issues, this book provides scientific
  and technological points of reference. It advocates for
  an approach that is coherently aligned with international
  initiatives and calls for reindustrialisation in France.
  Sorting, collecting, composting, recycling, and reusing-
  more realistic, environmentally-friendly, and economically-
  viable solut ions exist, providing an
  alternative path to the dead end created by French legislation.
  This book calls for carefully-considered awareness,
  because before we condemn or defend, it is crucial that
  we understand.
