520 "Energy is, without a doubt, the very foundation of the
universe. It's the engine that powers life and fuels the
evolution of human civilization. Yet for all its
importance, what energy really is and how it works remains
a mystery to most non-scientists. For example: Where does
most of our energy come from, and how is it sourced? How
do energy technologies, both primitive and cutting-edge,
generate power? How do we store energy--and will there be
enough to meet our future needs? What are the pros and
cons behind the forms of energy currently available to us?
How might we harness potential future energy sources such
as earthquakes and supervolcanoes? All too often, the
answers to questions like these are bogged down in
polemics and controversy. Imagine, then, how these and
other questions could be discussed from a purely factual,
scientific perspective. The truth is, to better put into
perspective the various issues surrounding energy in the
21st century, you need to understand the essential science
behind how energy works. And you need a reliable source
whose focus is on giving you the facts you need to form
your own educated opinions" -- provided by publisher.
