The End of Education as We Know It : Regenerative Learning for Complex Times
It's time for a whole new way of doing school People are born systems-thinkers.Education has the power to encourage our innate connection with the complex world, yet instead our schools focus on creating a workforce educated just enough to feed the capitalist pipeline.Reminiscent of and building further on John Taylor Gatto's education critiques, The End of Education as We Know It is for people who want to create schools that teach how to live in harmony with each other, with Earth, and with all the Earth holds. Readers will understand when and how to engage in disruptive actions, manage system tensions, support child and adult learning, and use these skills to design whole new approaches to school- ing.Far more than a call to education-reform-as-usual, Ida Rose Florez's inspiring critique:Provides tools to explore patterns in education, and influence new patterns that lead to changeGives readers specific skills for working in complex systems, whether with a group of children, a contentious school board, or state or provincial governmentsHelps readers reimagine schools as places where communities learn together in a whole new way. This clarion call to action rings a bell for teachers, parents, grandparents, educators, and policy– makers to challenge the outdated paradigm of coercion and exploitation that shapes our current schools.It's time to build a new educational model based on a resilient and regenerative future.

Designing Regenerative Cultures
This is a 'Whole Earth Catalog' for the 21st century: an impressive and wide-ranging analysis of what's wrong with our societies, organizations, ideologies, worldviews and cultures - and how to put them right.The book covers the finance system, agriculture, design, ecology, economy, sustainability, organizations and society at large. In it, Daniel Wahl explores ways in which we can reframe and understand the crises that we currently face and explores how we can live our way into the future.Moving from patterns of thinking and believing to our practice of education, design and community living, he systematically shows how we can stop chasing the mirage of certainty and control in a complex and unpredictable world.The book asks how can we collaborate in the creation of diverse regenerative cultures adapted to the unique biocultural conditions of place?How can we create conditions conducive to life? "This book is a valuable contribution to the important discussion of the worldview and value system we need to redesign our businesses, economies, and technologies - in fact, our entire culture - so as to make them regenerative rather than destructive."Fritjof Capra, author of The Web of Life, coauthor of The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision. "This is an excellent addition to the literature on ecological design and it will certainly form a keystone in the foundations of the new MA in Ecological Design Thinking at Schumacher College, Devon.It not only contains a wealth of ideas on what Dr Wahl has termed 'Designing Regenerative Cultures' but what is probably more important, it provides some stimulating new ways of looking at persistent problems in our contemporary culture and hence opens up new ways of thinking and acting in the future." Seaton Baxter OBE, Professor in Ecological Design Thinking, Schumacher College, UK

Why is it called regenerative braking?
Regenerative braking is called so because it involves the process of regenerating or converting kinetic energy into electrical energy. When a vehicle brakes using regenerative braking, the electric motor acts as a generator, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle back into electrical energy, which is then stored in the vehicle's battery for later use. This process allows the vehicle to recover some of the energy that would otherwise be lost as heat during traditional braking, making it a more efficient and sustainable method of braking.

What is the regenerative ability of Acetabularia?
Acetabularia is a single-celled green alga that exhibits remarkable regenerative abilities. When the alga is cut into pieces, each fragment has the ability to regenerate into a complete new organism. This regenerative ability is due to the presence of a specialized structure called a rhizoid, which allows the alga to regrow missing parts. Acetabularia's regenerative capacity has made it a valuable model organism for studying cell differentiation and development.

What is regenerative braking in a frequency inverter?
Regenerative braking in a frequency inverter is a method of recovering energy that would otherwise be wasted during braking. When a motor is decelerating, instead of dissipating the energy as heat, the frequency inverter converts it back into electrical energy and feeds it back into the power supply. This process helps to improve energy efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption in industrial applications. By utilizing regenerative braking, the frequency inverter can help save costs and contribute to a more sustainable operation.

Values and Institutions in Health Research Regulation : The Case of Regenerative Medicine
This book undertakes an exploration of the key concept of ‘values’ and particularly examines the significance of socio-moral values to the advancement of the field of biomedical law and research governance.Values serve as a touchstone throughout the book and the author seeks to identify the values which are present in the core international instruments relevant to biomedicine and considers the ways in which those values are defined and ranked.In the process, he critiques those core international instruments from a value perspective and demonstrates the policy tensions that exist in the biomedical field.This book is international in scope but many of the examples cited are drawn from biomedical practise in the UK and Argentina.The UK is one of the most active jurisdictions in the field of biomedical research governance and often serves as a model for other jurisdictions.It is referenced here with a view to providing examples of the adoption of values influenced legal and ethical mechanisms which are now actively in force.By contrast, Argentina is an emerging economy relying on biomedicine as a means of sustainable development and national re-imagining, and in the process it is actively redesigning its regulatory environment.Argentina is a useful example of the challenges faced by, and potential courses open to, developing or emerging countries with obvious relevance to countries across Latin America.Harmon pulls together examples of values informing regulation in the UK and Argentina and from them offers a framework for regulating this dynamic field.The emphasis of the analysis of the regulation of the life sciences and biotechnology is on how that regulation puts into practise (or fails to put into practise) claimed socio-moral values.

What is regenerative braking in a frequency converter?
Regenerative braking in a frequency converter is a method of recovering energy from a motor during deceleration or braking. When the motor is slowing down, instead of dissipating the energy as heat, the frequency converter converts the kinetic energy back into electrical energy and feeds it back into the power supply. This process helps to improve energy efficiency and reduce overall power consumption in the system. Regenerative braking is particularly useful in applications where the motor undergoes frequent starts and stops, such as elevators or cranes.

How does regenerative braking on the train work?
Regenerative braking on a train works by using the electric traction motors to slow down the train. When the train's operator applies the brakes, the electric motors reverse their function and act as generators, converting the train's kinetic energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy is then fed back into the train's power supply system, where it can be used by other trains or stored for future use. This process helps to reduce energy consumption and decrease wear on the train's mechanical braking system.

How does a regenerative brake for a bicycle work?
A regenerative brake for a bicycle works by converting the kinetic energy of the moving bicycle into electrical energy. When the rider applies the brake, the system activates a generator that creates resistance against the spinning wheels, slowing down the bicycle. This resistance also generates electricity, which is then stored in a battery or used to power other electrical components on the bicycle. This process allows the bicycle to recover some of the energy that would otherwise be lost as heat during braking, making it more efficient and environmentally friendly.

How does a two-quadrant converter operate in regenerative mode?
A two-quadrant converter operates in regenerative mode when it is required to transfer power from the load back to the source. In this mode, the converter acts as a bidirectional power flow device, allowing energy to be transferred in both directions. When the load generates power, the converter operates in reverse, allowing the energy to flow back to the source. This regenerative mode is useful in applications where energy needs to be recycled, such as in braking systems for electric vehicles or in regenerative braking for elevators.
