We have been busy here recently, as we are not only working on some exciting new titles in the 'without the hot air' series, but last year we also bought Green Books, a respected publisher of books about environmentalism and sustainability, for over 25 years.
Annual Simonyi Lecture
Prof David MacKay, author of Sustainable Energy - without the hot air, is giving the annual Charles Simonyi Lecture in Oxford, this Friday 14th November 2014. David will discuss how the laws of physics constrain our energy options, and will describe what happened when his reflections on energy arithmetic propelled him into a senior civil service role. Find out more here.
