Opis

Taken from a report for the Electric Power Research Institute, Joy Dunkerley’s study aims to clarify the relationship between energy consumption and economic output in industrialised countries. Originally published in 1980 and using data from 1972, this study uses cross-country comparisons of energy use in to stress the importance of new supply options and measures of controlling energy use without affecting living standards. This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies.
