"Editors Cleveland and Morris offer this information-dense reference on human energy procurement and usage. Part I covers physiological energy needs and sources of energy including fossil fuels, traditional renewables, biomass, hydrogen, and fuel cells. Part II addresses the thermodynamics, chemistry, physics, geology, and measurement methods behind energy technology. Part III, applications, pertains to energy uses, including household electricity consumption…" --ProtoView.com, February 2014 "This handbook…is a comprehensive resource on all aspects of energy…Volume 1, divided into five parts and 30 sections, is a compilation of more than 2,000 technical diagrams and easy-to-comprehend figures, charts, and tables that emphasize specific energy concepts…This authoritative resource will be valuable for audiences in disparate fields of interest. Summing Up: Highly Recommended." --CHOICE Reviews Online, March 2014
Handbook of Energy, Volume I: Diagrams, Charts, and Tables provides comprehensive, organized coverage on all phases of energy and its role in society, including its social, economic, political, historical, and environmental aspects. While there is a wealth of information about energy available, it is spread across many books, journals, and websites and it tends to target either a particular form of energy or a specific audience. Handbook of Energy provides a central repository of information that meets diverse user communities. It focuses on visual, graphic, and tabular information in a schematic format. Individuals and researchers at all educational levels will find the Handbook of Energy to be a valuable addition to their personal libraries.
