Although Japan is known to have scarce energy resources, in terms of
geothermal energy resources, the country has the third largest potential in
the world and also leads the way in related technology. Geothermal energy
resources have not been fully utilized in Japan for more than a decade,
however, there is greater potential to utilize these inexhaustible resources for
practical purposes. Compared to other forms of renewable energy, geothermal
power generation is particularly considered to be an effective and safe
technology due to the fact that geothermal power plants can operate non-stop,
24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This book will remove readers’common
misunderstandings about geothermal energy and geothermal power generation
and clearly presents accurate information in order to convey the attractiveness
of geothermal power generation.

Global problems involving the environment, food and resources must be
solved not separately but concurrently since these three problems are closely
related to each other. "Plant Factories" are one of the effective concurrent
solutions to these problems. "Plant Factories Utilizing Artificial Light"
explains advanced concepts and methods of "closed-type plant factories"
and therefore could in fact be called, "Closed-type Plant Factories Utilizing
Artificial Light." The book systematically explains utilization rates of
invested resources, multipurpose utilization of heat pumps, calculation
of electric power consumption and basic knowledge and measurement of
photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration.

Development of the ocean floor, of which Japan has rights to the sixth largest
area worldwide, has huge potential for a country that has sparse natural
resources. A recent research activity conducted by the authors has revealed
that Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) contains a very attractive area
of buried minerals. Through the use of illustrations and pictures, this book
concretely explains the distribution and amounts of buried minerals, their
origins, how they were formed, examples of undersea investigations and
possibilities for commercialization. This book focuses on subjects such as
"hydrothermal deposits" that possess rare mineral resources including rare
metals and "lumps of manganese/ manganese crusts."
Contents:
1. The ocean and mineral resources/ 2. Mineral resources on the ocean floor
in their natural forms/ 3. A lump of manganese/ 4. Manganese crust/ 5.

Plastic is used in a huge number of areas and helps to enrich our daily
lives. This is because plastic satisfies many demands as a type of raw
material that supports a wide range of technologies as well as an advanced,
highly-efficient, high-level material. Plastic will become an increasingly
important material as time progresses. Although many books about polymer
chemistry have already been published, there have not been many printed
that systematically present an analysis of plastic as a fundamental material.
This book summarizes the analysis and analytical study of plastic in general,
such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. Intended readers
are engineers and researchers in corporations, students studying plastic or
analysis/analytical study of plastic in technical college or university.

Judo bone setting used to be a practical science based on actual experience.
However, since the subject was adopted in university courses, it has now
been developing into a unique branch of knowledge proven by an integrated
theory. The book aims to train bone setters in global perspective not just for
working in domestic local communities. While respecting rules learnt from
experiences, the book lays a stress on theoretical process of problem solving
through ample use of easy-to-understand figures that no other similar book
can offer. It is a unique and first text/reference book of its kind.

Although it is a basic subject of electrical engineering or physics courses,
electromagnetics is a very difficult subject, since it is based on the assumption
that one already has an understanding of partial differentiation, multiple
integrals, or vector analysis. And for another reason, there are many theorems
and formulas in electromagnetics of which key relationships are not apparently
clear. However, when all the equations are summarized and regulated by
Maxwell's equations from the originally independent, widely varying laws,
one can realize that electromagnetics is a very well-formed body of theory
that can be started from Coulomb's law, which is a basic subject taught in high
schools, and concluded with four types of equations that can explain various
phenomenon.
Intended Readers:
For students who feel difficulty in electromagnetics
Contents:
1. Introduction: What is electromagnetics?/ 2. Electric charge and Coulomb's

It has been more than 10 years since "Introduction to Quake-absorbing
Structures (1995)" and "Introduction to Quake-absorbing Laminated Rubber
(1997)" were published, and the environment that surrounds the theory of
quake absorption has changed significantly during that time. These days,
when people are more concerned about topics involving the environment,
energy, safety and health, a broad range of knowledge is required to enable
one to read and write accurate technical documents related to quake-absorbing
structures, and to precisely use them not only in design but also in the
process of management, execution and maintenance. Aimed at beginners,
the systematic and easy-to-understand explanations in this book will help
readers gain a sufficient understanding of the fundamental knowledge related
to key components, as well as practical knowledge required to design quakeabsorbing structures and construct and maintain seismic isolation layers.
The book is intended for people engaged in building construction design,
development of isolated components as well as execution, maintenance and
management of quake-absorbing structure.

The book proposes a vision and concept for revival after the Great East Japan
Earthquake. Based on an outcome that was well evaluated in govermentallevel meetings, the book further reviews details of its action plan and a midto long-term concept for revival and proposes actions that should be taken
by the government. The proposal has been reflected in the backbone of the
government's revival measures. Based on the "Community System Design"
advocates by the author, the book presents useful hints for a new futurefocused economic vision from the consumers' point of view.
Contents:
1. Great Tohoku Earthquake and a vision for revival - Introduction/ Four
basic proposals/ 2. Looking at things from a different angle/ 3. Constructing
"a pioneering regional community" in Tohoku/ 4. Financial resources and a

This is an introductory book about the physics of the space elevator. The
book explains basic physical mechanisms of a space elevator and also
functions as a basic university level physics textbook. Using many figures and
illustrations, the book thoroughly explains concepts that many people tend to
fail to learn properly during the initial stages of mechanics.

We experience various kinds of lighting in our daily lives. The sources of
this lighting vary and include natural light, incandescent light, LED and
other types. In order to deal with these types of lighting, one needs to fully
understand the mechanisms of light and colors. The book explains lighting
from the aspect of natural science and will help readers learn how light
becomes visible and what the various units of measuring light are. The book
also covers fundamental and detailed information, such as characteristics of
various light sources and psychological effects of lighting. The fundamental
knowledge about lighting technology provided in the book will be useful in
terms of learning how it is used and presented.
Intended Readers:
For those who are involved in architecture and/or interior related fields, also
for people who need some knowledge on optics such as photography/imaging
as well as for people who want to learn about mechanisms and units of light

The number of "Dam amateurs," who enjoy exploring dams as a subculture
hobby, is increasing, primarily among former dam engineers or amateur
photographers. Dam exploration tours are frequently held by study societies
and extra-departmental organizations, and events such as photo contests are
becoming popular among dam amateurs. This book is aimed at dam fans,
and using a wide selection of pictures, it explains basic knowledge of dams
(structure, utility, jurisdiction and model year) as well as other highlights.
