The Standard Oil Company emerged out of obscurity in the 1860s to capture 90 percent of the petroleum refining industry in the United States during the Gilded Age. John D. Rockefeller, the company’s founder, organized the company around an almost religious dedication to principles of efficiency. Economic success masked the dark side of efficiency as Standard Oil dumped oil waste into public waterways, filled the urban atmosphere with acrid smoke, and created a consumer safety crisis by selling kerosene below congressional standards. Local governments, guided by a desire to favor the interests of business, deployed elaborate engineering solutions to tackle petroleum pollution at taxpayer expense rather than heed public calls to abate waste streams at their source. Only when refinery pollutants threatened the health of the Great Lakes in the twentieth century did the federal government respond to a nascent environmental movement. Organized around the four classical elements at the core of Standard Oil’s success (earth, air, fire, and water), Refining Nature provides an ecological context for the rise of one of the most important corporations in American history.

This book examines the literature of Shiga Naoya, who is highly regarded in modern Japan for his unique style and methods of describing his personal experiences and emotions. Contributing new findings to the field of scholarship on Shiga, this study focuses in particular on Shiga’s nature-inspired writings and discusses how he created some vivid images of nature that became famous and still linger in Japanese people’s minds. Shiga’s remarkable sensitivity toward nature and the influences he received from earlier writers in Japan and abroad is examined. The complexity and depth of his understanding of nature is further revealed in his fascination with the supernatural, which also contributed to the creation of his literary style.

If you are interested in how the relationship between humanity and nature can influence our health and wellbeing, then this is the book for you. In this book agreements from ancient and modern philosophy are drawn together to find a meaningful psychological connection with nature in modern times. It can seem difficult to reconcile human ideals such as morality or divinity, and the human self, with nature. They can seem incompatible. 'Nature and the Human Experience' provides a way of developing a meaningful connection between the human self and nature by focusing on general organisational processes experienced in both objective and subjective reality.

My dissertation analyzes the social and ecological changes resulting from the production of illuminating oil. Using the cities of Cleveland, Ohio, and Whiting, Indiana, as case studies, I examine how the economic success of the Standard Oil Company was predicated on a new, corporate relationship with the environment and society. As Standard Oil concentrated new industrial pollutants in urban areas, municipal governments responded by building unprecedented public works infrastructure as a technological alternative to vital ecological systems. Although municipal governments and Standard Oil succeeded in providing citizens and customers with new levels of material comfort through applied science, they failed to anticipate the environmental consequences of their triumph. Technological replacements (sewers, water works, kerosene) for inefficient natural systems funneled new industrial hazards into the urban environment. As critics discovered that the geography of urban health aligned with spatial class divisions, a new critique of capitalism infused ecological observations into the reform movements that emerged from the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.

The Fischer-Tropsch process is gaining recognition again due to the world-wide increase in energy needs and decrease in oil availability. The increasing interest in utilizing biomass as a potential renewable feedstock in energy generation is further supporting this development. The book covers the production and refining of Fischer-Tropsch syncrude to fuels and chemicals systematically and comprehensively, presenting a wealth of new knowledge and material. As such, it deals extensively with aspects of engineering, chemistry and catalysis. This handbook and ready reference adopts a fundamental approach, looking at the molecules and their transformation from feed to product. Numerous examples illustrate the possibilities and limitations of Fischer-Tropsch syncrude as feesdstock. Of great interest to everyone interested in refining - not just Fischer-Tropsch specialists.
