Energy pervades every aspect of modern society. As the world wrestles with a multitude of solutions to the problems of energy supply and energy costs, with antagonism to nuclear energy, with proposals for renewable energies, the range and breadth of terms used within the energy contect has greatly increased the need for an inter-disciplinary dictionary of energy. This Dictionary aims to provide information for intelligent people searching for concepts, ideas, definitions and explanations outside their own expertise. it covers fuel technology, science, economics, the built environment, the external environment, renewable and alternative energies, energy transformation, biology, fossil and nuclear fuel, and fuel treatment. In addition to the General Editor, there are five advisory editors, each eminent in their field, to ensure that balance and coverage is achieved. Although there are a few energy handbooks/dictionaires available, these are written primarily from a technical point of view. This book is there considered to offer a significant contribution to this whole subject. 299 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
