Energy, Environment and Development

摘要

Packed full of useful information and data this book is a must for anyone working in the field of energy or just wishing to understand the concepts. It starts with a description of the physics of energy and goes on to outline the various sources of energy and the ways human activity and economic development is influenced by utilisation of energy. A large section - almost a fifth of the book is titled "The Facts" and contains numerous tables, graphs and diagrams containing seemingly every conceivable numerical data on energy sourced from a wide variety of research, organisations and individuals. This in itself makes this book a first port of call for numerical data.
