520    "Our Energy Future is an introductory textbook for a 
       college course in energy production, alternative and 
       renewable fuels, and related issues involved in building a
       sustainable energy future. Our society is consuming energy
       at an alarming rate as trends in energy consumption 
       continue to rise. Jones and Mayfield explore the creation 
       and history of fossil fuels, their impact on the 
       environment, and how they have become critical to our 
       society. They warn that continuing fuel-usage patterns 
       could permanently damage our environment. Jones and 
       Mayfield also outline how the adoption of sustainable 
       biofuels will be key to our future energy stability. They 
       discuss a number of renewable energy options, and then 
       discuss different biofuel feedstocks and their potential 
       as replacements for petroleum-based products. This book 
       emphasizes the importance of continued scientific, 
       agricultural, and engineering development, while outlining
       the political and environmental challenges that are 
       coupled with a complete shift from fossil fuels to 
       renewable energy and biomass. Our Energy Future is an 
       excellent, accessible resource for undergraduate students 
       studying biofuels and bioenergy."--Provided by publisher.
