---

An easy read, balancing the pros and cons, this book surveys the energy issue from a broad scientific perspective while considering environmental, economic, and social factors. It explains the basic concepts, provides a historical overview of energy resources, assesses our unsustainable energy system based on fossil fuels, and shows that the energy crisis is not only a tough challenge, but also an unprecedented opportunity to become more concerned about the world in which we live and the society we have built up. By outlining the alternatives for today and the future, it gives an extensive overview on nuclear energy, solar thermal and photovoltaics, solar fuels, wind power, ocean energies and other renewable, highlighting the increasing importance of electricity and the long term perspectives of a hydrogen based economy.
An excellent source of updated and carefully documented information on the entangled aspects of the energy issues, this book is a guide for scientists, students, and teachers looking for ways out of the energy and climate crisis, and the problems and disparities generated during the fossil fuel era.
