This text describes the most common types of biofuels and biofuel technologies and seeks to identify both the advantages and disadvantages associated with their use.

Coal and oil are two of the world's most important sources of primary energy. A multi-trillion dollar infrastructure has been created to locate, produce, transport, process, and burn coal and oil. This infrastructure has made modern life possible. This book describes the history of these sources of energy.

This study describes the technology and scale of the infrastructure that has evolved to produce, transport, and consume natural gas. It emphasizes the business of natural gas production and the energy futures markets that have evolved as vehicles for both speculation and risk management.

Neither an endorsement nor a condemnation of nuclear power, 'Nuclear Energy' provides objective information that is accessible - assuming only a modest knowledge of high school algebra on the part of the reader - and broad in scope.

This reference describes two of the least objectionable means by which electricity is generated today. In addition to describing the nature of solar and geothermal energy and the processes by which they can be harnessed, this accessible book details how they are used in practice to supply electricity to the power markets.

'Wind and Water' describes conventional hydropower, or wind power, and some of the newer technologies (with less certain futures) that are being introduced to harness the power of ocean currents, ocean waves, and the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers of the ocean.
