Offering a balanced, objective overview of the subject, Energy Science: Principles, Technologies, and Impacts enables students to evaluate the key sources of energy available to us today on the basis of sound, quantitative understanding. It relates the science behind renewable, fossil fuel, and nuclear energy sources to the environmental and socioeconomic issues that surround their use. The authors use examples and case studies throughout to help students make quantitative estimates and critically assess the relative merits and drawbacks of each energy source. Exploring the practicalities of energy generation, storage, and transmission, this unique text paints a complete picture of energy supply, from wind turbines, nuclear reactors, and hydroelectric dams to our homes.
A Companion Website offers resources for students and instructors.
