Produktbeschreibung
People rarely stop to think about where the energy they use to power their everyday lives comes from and when they do it is often to ask a worried question: is mankind’s energy usage killing the planet? How do we deal with nuclear waste? What happens when the oil runs out? Energy: The Basics answers these questions, but it also does much more. In this engaging yet even-handed introduction, readers are introduced to:
- the concept of ‘energy’ and what it really means
- the ways energy is currently generated and the sources used
- new and emerging energy technologies such as solar power and biofuels
- the impacts of energy use on the environment including climate change
This new edition has been updated throughout and includes a new chapter on energy storage, along with new material on transportation energy and batteries.
Featuring explanatory diagrams and an extensive further reading list, this book is the ideal starting point for anyone interested in the impact and future of the world’s energy supply.
