As CO2 is now an important emission there is also discussion regarding low and non-carbon fuels and how they might be used.There is also discussion on engine fuel system development and how these different systems affect the corresponding fuel requirements.

A rash of small wars erupted after the Cold War ended in Africa, the Balkans, and other parts of the former communist world. The wars were in "inter-zones," the spaces left where weak states had withdrawn or collapsed. Consequently the debate over what constitutes war has returned to basics. No Peace, No War departs from the usual analysis that considers the new wars mindless mass actions to offer the paradoxical idea that to understand war one must deny war special status. Rather than leave war to the security specialists, these writers attempt to grasp its character as one among many aspects of social reality.

Medieval KingE s Lynn (BishopE s Lynn before 1537) was a premier English port, a position it retained until the Industrial Revolution. Its maritime economy was undermined by the coming of the railways, which were the harbinger of modest industrialisation. The major watershed in the ancient boroughE s fortunes arrived in 1962 when it was designated a London overspill town. Though the new industrial and housing estates were located on the townE s outskirts, its historic heart was partly redeveloped for a new shopping centre, and the old cattle market closed. By 2000 KingE s Lynn was no longer the traditional country town and port it had been in 1950. Lost KingE s Lynn presents a portrait of a town and a way of life that has radically changed or disappeared today, showing not just the industries and buildings that have gone, people and street scenes, but also many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating photographic history of lost KingE s Lynn will appeal to all those who live in the town or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
