This revised edition of Renewable Energy: A First Course is fully updated and continues to provide the best in-depth introduction to renewable energy science. The book focuses mainly on renewable energy, but also addresses nonrenewable energy (fossil fuels and nuclear technology). The coverage extends from the basic physics to conservation, economic, and public policy issues, with strong emphasis on explaining how things work in practice. The authors avoid technical jargon and advanced math but address fundamental analytical skills with wide application. Updated statistics, figures, policies, trends, and technological advancements will bring the reader up to speed with the current state of renewable energy.
Robert Ehrlich is a professor of physics emeritus at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia. He earned his BS in physics from Brooklyn College and his PhD from Columbia University.

John R. Cressman is an associate professor of physics and astronomy at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia. He earned his BS from Union College in Schenectady, NY, and his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh. He is the associate chair for the Department of Physics and Astronomy and teaches courses in both physics and neuroscience. He is an experimental physicist who studies systems driven far from equilibrium, from simple fluids to complex biological networks, and publishes in journals from applied mathematics to experimental neuroscience. His current area of focus is on the often dramatic transient dynamics that can occur when a controlling parameter, like temperature, of a system is changed.
