In the mid-1930s, George Orwell visited working-class communities in northern England and wrote about the conditions that he witnessed. In his book The Road to Wigan Pier. He describes a visit to a coalmine the section devoted to the walk from the mineshaft to the coalface is presented here. It makes it very clear why the energy expenditure involved in these activities is very high. [Pg.26]

Several well-known figures died of tuberculosis, including Frederyk Chopin, who died in 1849 after suffering many years with the disease lohn Keats, who was both a poet and a physician, died of the disease in 1821 and George Orwell, who, fortunately, managed to finish his book, 1984, before dying. Edward VI died from the disease at the age of six and the three Bronte sisters died within seven years of each other. [Pg.397]

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others, said Napoleon in George Orwell s classic novel Animal Farm. Uncle Sam might say something similar All people must pay taxes, but some must pay more taxes than others. Our current federal income tax system treats taxpayers unfairly and requires and monumental budget to administer and maintain. Aflat tax, which would treat all taxpayers equally and dramatically reduce tax compliance cost, is the answer. [Pg.101]

Winston Smith, the main character in George Orwell s apocalyptic novel 1984, perceived while reading the secret Brotherhood s book that the best books are those that tell you what you know already. If you are encountering the field of molecular organic materials for the first time and do not want to contradict Orwell, you are invited to read the book you are holding in your hands more than once. If you are an expert in the field I hope you will discover new and perhaps unexpected issues. [Pg.346]

In line with what was discussed in Chapter 6 with regard to the quality of the Joule, one can interpret Orwell [6], "All Joules are equal, but some Joules are more equal than others." This means that 1J of heat at 1000 K is more useful than, say, 1J of heat at 298 K. This is a direct consequence of the work available in these amounts of heat, as stated in Chapters 6 and 7, where precise definitions of physical and chemical exergy are given. A direct consequence of the second law of thermodynamics is that the available work (exergy) can never be utilized completely in real processes. Since all real processes are irreversible, every process step will produce a finite amount of lost work, thus diminishing the amount of useful work. [Pg.115]

Selection rules reflect the restrictions on stale changes available to an atom or molecule. Any transition in violation of a selection rule is said to be forbidden, but as we shall see, some transitions are more forbidden than others (to paraphrase George Orwell u). We shall not pursue the theoretical bases of the rules in any detail but merely outline simple tests for their application. [Pg.231]

Perhaps very fortunately, inorganic chemistry does not have one universal well-ordered deductive theory. An interesting case of the several complementary net-works of concepts used when rationalizing chemical facts can be found in the book92) by Williams. A mathematician may think about such a book as written in the language doublespeak of Orwell s novel 1984 . However, chemistry is much more inductive 10) than deductive, the facts are stubborn, and we do not yet know the surprises of tomorrow. [Pg.19]

Another enemy of clear, concise prose is pretentiousness. Pompous, inflated language surrounds us, and because it often sounds learned or official, we may be tempted to use it when we want to impress others with our writing. But as George Orwell, author of 1984, noted, an inflated style is like a cuttlefish squirting out ink. If you want your prose easily understood, write as clearly and plainly as possible. [Pg.133]

This, however, still leaves many options. Stories about children often lend themselves to the moral tale. They also lend themselves to excess and fantasy. A good example here is Peter Brook s Lord of the Flies. Novels such as Orwell s Animal Farm have their filmic equivalent in George Miller s Babe in the City. Stories about animals, such as the above mentioned, are naturals for hyperdrama. So too are stories set as fables. Even a film like Warren Beatty s Heaven Can Wait becomes hyperdrama when issues of birth, rebirth, angels, and Heaven become active elements of the narrative. Finally, stories about mythical figures or periods, such as Vincent Ward s The Navigator, work well as hyperdrama. In these stories, the characters are either archetypal or they are metaphors serving the moral tale that is at the heart of the narrative. [Pg.197]
