Energy and the Environment is a six-volume set that examines the
history, technology, science, and environmental and social implications
(including issues of environmental justice) associated with the
acquisition and production of energy. Designed to complement science
curricula, each volume describes comprehensively one or more sources of
energy and the technology needed to make it useful. The books emphasize
the science on which such technology is based, the limitations of each
technology, the environmental implications of its use, questions of
availability and cost, and the way that government policies and energy
markets interact.
