Book Description

Energy Science successfully integrate social, economic and environmental considerations with an accessible, quantitative approach to energy science.

This text introduces the latest energy technologies, explaining the physical principles underlying technology and discussing their environmental, economic, and social impacts. With a focus on the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources of energy, the text enables students to evaluate the key sources of energy available, and introduces potential solutions to the energy problems facing us today.

A core text in the field, Energy Science is full of topical case studies and examples using current data to highlight the practical application of relevant theory. Discussion questions throughout the text encourage the development of deep critical thinking skills, ensuring that students are properly equipped to approach the energy challenges that lie ahead.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Review from previous edition This is an excellent introduction to the physics behind energy production. It is easy to follow and provides helpful examples and case studies. ― Dr Martin Wilding, Aberystwyth University

The most comprehensive book I have seen that covers the fundamentals of energy science in detail whilst still providing enough bigger picture content to be highly relevant to all readers. ― Dr Simon Smart, University of Queensland

A very comprehensive textbook that covers the scientific principles behind the multitude of technologies we use to produce energy today. ― Dr Alan Dunbar, University of Sheffield
