This book takes a rigorous look at how ESG portfolios are built and what they can be expected to achieve, both for investors and the broader economy. Pomorski is even brave enough to address topics like reporting standards and whether shorting 'counts' (spoiler alert: it does). Inside you'll find much-needed clarity honestly and succinctly presented."-CLIFF ASNESS, Managing and Founding Principal, AQR Capital Management "This book is essential for anyone interested in sustainable investing. Pomorski dissects the many misconceptions about sustainability and helps bridge the gap between what sustainable investors want and what economic theory and empirical evidence say is possible. The many practical examples and case studies provide an enjoyable, succinct and accessible summary of the key issues in the field."-MARK CARHART, Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer, Kepos Capital "Pomorski masterfully bridges the gap between academic rigor and practical application, offering a groundbreaking perspective on sustainable investing.

A must-read for anyone looking to navigate the future of investment with confidence and conscience." -DONALD RAYMOND, Chief Investment Strategist at QIA and former Chief Investment Strategist at CPPIB "So much of the conversation about ESG today is based on opinion, not fact. Pomorski follows an empirical, evidence-based approach to help readers understand the relationship between ESG and investing. He addresses the good, the bad, and the unknown of sustainable investing. The Puzzle of Sustainable Investment uses a data-driven approach to answer the ESG questions that investors are asking today."-MICHAEL CAPPUCCI, Managing Director, Harvard Management Company

This book provides a comprehensive review of the history of concepts of the endocrine, nervous and immune systems throughout the last century. Historically, these systems were long considered as compartments that performed separate and different functions. However, a breakthrough occurred when advances in genetics and cellular and molecular biology techniques revealed that these systems shared molecular entities (such as cytokines, hormones and neurotransmitters) with their cognate receptors. These molecular links between the three systems broaden our understanding of the regulation of physiological processes. This approach has generated a multiplicity of new concepts, including crosstalk between organs, axis, feedback, molecular sensors, protein multi-functionality, positive and negative signaling ratios and pathways (such as cell signaling, metabolism and stem cell differentiation, to name a few). The improvement of experimental approaches has often resulted in major discoveries. This, combined with clear reasoning, intuition and coherence gave rise to new and unexpected concepts, and sometimes evolving ones. These new concepts lead the reader to the incredible transformation of biology in recent years.

Many physical, chemical, biological and even economic phenomena can be modeled by differential or partial differential equations, and the framework of distribution theory is the most efficient way to study these equations.

Monitoring systems can help to detect faults before they result in downtime. This book presents efficient methods used to detect electrical and mechanical faults based on electrical signals occurring in the different components of a wind energy conversion system. For example, in a small and high power synchronous generator and multi-phase generator, in the diode bridge rectifier, the gearbox and the sensors. This book also presents a method for keeping the frequency and voltage of the power grid within an allowable range while ensuring the continuity of power supply in the event of a grid fault. Electrical and Mechanical Fault Diagnosis in Wind Energy Conversion Systems presents original results obtained from a variety of research. It will not only be useful as a guideline for the conception of more robust wind turbines systems, but also for engineers monitoring wind turbines and researchers

Algae, macroalgae and microalgae can be valuable biological resources in a new, more environmentally friendly form of agriculture known as agrobiology. Indeed, the biological properties associated with algae are frequently relevant for agricultural and zootechnical purposes. It is this aspect that is behind the current popularity of algae in the development of new agricultural practices that are related to plant and animal production, which are referred to as agrobiology. Algae in Agrobiology offers a current and forward-looking account of algae use: in agriculture and in the sector of land and marine animal production, as algal extracts and molecules in the form of fertilizers or biostimulants for crops with agronomic interest, and as algal compounds in the area of plant and animal health. This book is based on advances in biochemical and agronomic research in order to explain the conventional practices associated with the use of algae in agriculture and livestock breeding. These advances make it possible to establish possible uses for marine algal resources in the agriculture of the future.
