In an age of mounting
energy crises, James A. Fay and Dan S. Golomb's
Energy and the Environment offers a timely treatment of a critical problem in urban-industrial societies: the worldwide growth of
energy use and the destructive relationship between this
energy use and environmental degradation. This comprehensive text provides the scientific and technological background for understanding how our ever-increasing use of
energy threatens the natural environment at local, regional, and global scales and how this threat could be mitigated by more efficient use of conventional
energy sources and their replacement by renewable
energy sources. Designed for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students,
Energy and the Environment is essential reading for students and professionals in
energy and environmental sciences and technology.
