Description
Coal and oil, sun, water, and wind - this course illuminates the science of energy sources. An expert geophysicist reveals how we power our lives. --,Back cover.
Description
Professor Wysession walks you through a wide portfolio of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, including coal, oil, natural gas, solar, wind, geothermal, and nuclear fission. You?ll examine how these sources work, the engineering marvels that adapt them to human needs, the economic and environmental consequences of using them, and more. Whatever exciting, rapid changes await us in the coming decades (from food production to public transportation to industrial manufacturing), they?ll most certainly require lots of power. For this reason and many more, this course imparts essential information for any well-informed citizen of the world?whether you?re powering a major city or simply turning on the bathroom light. --,Publishers website.
