Cambridge University Press Introduction to Energy
Book SynopsisGiven the potential disruption of climate change, understanding energy issues and technologies is more important than ever if societies are to make informed choices on policy. Now in its third edition, Introduction to Energy explores the crucial issues connected to modern energy technology and its uses. Fully updated to respond to the substantial developments in the energy sector, the book expands on the relationships of energy use and climate change; of energy availability and the alleviation of world poverty; and of energy consumption and the sustainability of the lifestyles of people in the industrialized world. Directed at a broad readership, it assumes no prior technical expertise and avoids complex mathematical formulations, continuing to provide a standard for introductory energy courses. It is also a useful supplementary text for programs in public policy, business law and resource economics.Trade ReviewReview of previous edition: '… serves as an excellent introduction to energy … well written and directed at a broad readership. It provides valuable assessments of a variety of energy-related issues. Above all, the book is readable by the technical and nontechnical person.' Energy SourcesReview of previous edition: '… an extremely useful book for virtually anyone who wishes to develop a working knowledge of energy, from the various ways it is produced, to the social, environmental and economic implications associated with its production and consumption.' PalaiosReview of previous edition: '… more than achieves its aims as a multi-disciplinary textbook for a range of undergraduate students.' The Times Higher Education Supplement'Cassedy and Grossman's Introduction to Energy is a fascinating and eminently readable account of the sources of energy available to our society and a dispassionate accounting of the costs and benefits of each energy source. In this updated 3rd edition, the authors hit all the right notes, and cover important developments in renewables as well as nuclear and fossil fuels since the 2nd edition was published. New sections are crisply and clearly written; of special note are the sections on solar, wind, and the German energiewende (energy transition) in the final chapter. This book should be read by students and policymakers who wish to be able to think critically about the energy issues confronting our global society in the 21st century.' Louis Schwartzkopf, Minnesota State University'This updated edition of the classic text by Cassedy and Grossman is essential reading for understanding the modern energy landscape in all its economic, technological, and political dimensions. It covers virtually everything, from the basics of energy supply and demand, to the changing aspects of transportation fuels and power generation, to the prospects for a transition toward renewable energy sources. This new edition offers fresh and insightful discussions of contemporary developments and concerns relating to peak oil, fracking, next generation nuclear reactors, solar and wind, energy poverty, the resource curse, the smart grid, and climate change. Introduction to Energy should become a staple of any college curriculum on the subject.' Tyler Priest, University of Iowa'Energy spans disciplines from physics to engineering to biology to economics and public policy. The topic can overwhelm a beginning student. Introduction to Energy by Cassedy and Grossman gives beginners just what they need to get started. The authors take us from the timeless principles of science to - in this latest edition - such timely topics as climate change and energy transitions. This book is a classic introduction to energy, once again intelligently updated for today's students.' Michael Giberson, Texas Tech University'Now in its third edition, Introduction to Energy is a truly impressive book. Cassedy and Grossman integrate and leverage their respective engineering and economics expertise with great effectiveness. The result is a work that will inform experts and non-experts alike. It is also an example of what a true interdisciplinary effort can accomplish. Not least of which are integrated policy implications and potential prescriptions that do not work at cross purposes. In accomplishing this the authors do us a great service - one that leads to the avoidance of unintended and negative policy consequences.' Jim Granato, University of Houston'The late Edward S. Cassedy was an electrical engineering professor at Brooklyn Poly, while Peter Z. Grossman is a former science journalist and professor of economics at Butler University in Indiana. As one might expect then, the economic treatment of energy issues is the strength of the book. … The book not only doesn't take sides, but routinely points out internal contradictions and internal conflicts inherent in many energy positions, which are often ignored by the media. … the book may be one of the best on its subject, as well as one of the most refreshingly honest and unbiased around. Not only will a reader gain a lot of insight, and a lot of good evidence for their next cocktail party discussion on energy, but this book could readily form the basis for an excellent course on energy, societal issues, and public policy matters. It is a worthwhile read.' Robert W. Avakian, The Leading EdgeTable of ContentsPreface; Part I. Energy Resources and Technology: 1. Introduction; 2. Energy resources; 3.

Springer New York An Indispensable Truth How Fusion Power Can Save the Planet
Book SynopsisThis energy source is inexhaustible and, although achieving fusion energy is difficult, the progress made in the past two decades has been remarkable.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The ‘indispensable truth’ is that Chen … has written what may well be recognized as the definitive retrospective on the promise of endless supplies of cheap, clean nuclear energy from fusion, offering the prospect of realizing the promise at last. … It is stylishly written, designed, and illustrated to appeal to general readers … . Chen is in his comfort zone as he tells his story, and the indispensable truth is that it is just that–indispensable! Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries.” (L. W. Fine, Choice, Vol. 49 (3), November 2011)"With An Indispensable Truth: How Fusion Power Can Save the Planet, Frank Chen has provided a sweeping perspective on fusion energy. He covers everything from climage change to plasma instabilities. On climate change and energy, the view is best from 30 000 feet: The book provides a good high-level overview of the issues at stake...On fusion plasma physics, Chen's area of expertise, An Indispensable Truth provides an intuitive, up-close explanation of exciting recent advances and future challenges...An Indispensable Truth provides an exciting whirlwind tour of energy issues and technologies, with particular insight into fusion. Chen is correct to emphasize the tremendous progress that has been made in fusion research. ITER will produce hundreds of millions of watts of thermal energy from fusion, for periods of up to an hours. However, it remains for the world, and in particular the US, to decide if we will develop fusion into a practical energy source. We will need it."
