The production of electricity is responsible for approx. 40 percent of the world's CO2 emissions. A substantial proportion of the power produced is used for lighting - around 15 percent. However, with the use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a light source, there is now an interesting and promising technical alternative: the small light-emitting elements can be implemented just about anywhere as an effective replacement for conventional lighting systems. Not only do they consume much less electricity but they also have an extremely long service-life. By using LED technology, the hope is to drastically reduce the amount of power consumed due to electrical lighting by up to 80%. The ecological as well as economical advantages of using LEDs has led to a continuous rise in worldwide demand, which is why the Romanian electronics manufacturer Microelectronica S.A. has decided to construct a factory to produce LEDs in Bucharest. The project has been chosen by the EU as part of its structural policy to support economically weak regions and is currently planned and realized by engineers of Fraunhofer IPA.

The idea was simple: pack a suitcase, go to another city where you have no connections and try to find a job, anonymously. That was the idea that took Florence Aubenas--one of France's most accomplished undercover journalists--on a journey into the worst recession since the Great Depression. Day after day she searched for work, one unemployed worker among others, with no special skills or qualifications. She immersed herself in the crowd of job seekers, going from one employment office to another, eventually managing to cobble together a few hours working as a night cleaner on a ferry that crossed the English Channel. For many people the global financial crisis seems real enough but remote from their daily lives. They have little sense of what it really means to be unemployed in the midst of a recession. Florence Aubenas was determined to find out. This book is the story of her journey.--From publisher description
