Today`s global energy system faces two major challenges: how to secure the supply of reliable & affordable energy; & how to rapidly transform to a low-carbon, efficient & environmentally harmless energy supply. In this rigorous & illuminating book, Michael Bradshaw explores the key aspects of the current global energy dilemma & examines how it is playing out across the major regions & countries of the world. The book begins by charting the development of the current global energy system
- exploring its key characteristics with a focus upon energy security & the relationship between energy, economic development & climate change. The next four chapters offer in-depth analyses of four distinct global energy dilemmas in different parts of the world: the challenge of sustaining affluence & decarbonising energy services in the high-energy economies of the developed world; the legacies of the centrally planned economy & the consequences of liberalisation in the post-socialist world; growing energy demand & emissions growth associated with the emerging regions; & finally, the quest to provide universal access to modern energy services in the developing world in a manner that is both economically & environmentally sustainable. Identifying the governance structures & policy options available to tackle the global energy dilemma, the book concludes that only an integrated approach
- sensitive to regional issues
- can reconcile the interests & needs of those facing differing energy challenges across the world today.

In this radical & wide-ranging reassessment of Renaissance art, Jerry Brotton & Lisa Jardine examine the ways in which European culture came to define itself culturally & aesthetically in the years 1450 to 1550. Looking outwards for confirmation of who they were & of what defined them as civilized`, Europeans encountered the returning gaze of what we now call the East, in particular the powerful Ottoman Empire of Mehmed the Conqueror & Suleyman the Magnificent. ” Global Interests” explores these historical interactions by offering new & exciting accounts of three often neglected art objects: portrait medals, tapestries & equestrian art. The portability of medals & tapestries, & the transportability of, & esteem accorded to, pure-bred Eastern horses made them frequently exchanged objects, &, as such, highly revealing of the cultural currents flowing between Occident & Orient. The authors provide fascinating new responses to some of the most iconic paintings of the period, including the work of Pisanello, Leonardo, Durer, Holbein & Titian.” Global Interests” also offers a timely reassessment of the development of European imperialism, focusing on the Habsburg Empire of Charles V, & concludes with a consideration of the impact this history continues to have upon contemporary perceptions of European culture & ethnic identity. ...
