Description
In recent years our usage and understanding of different types of energy has grown at a tremendous rate. The editor-in-chief, Cutler
Cleveland, and his international team of associate editors have brought together approximately 400 authors to produce the Encyclopedia
of Energy. This highly topical reference draws together all aspects of energy, covering a wealth of areas throughout the natural, social
and engineering sciences.
The Encyclopedia will provide easily accessible information about all aspects of energy, written by leading
international authorities. It will not only be indispensible for academics, researchers, professionals and students, but also for policy
makers, energy and environmental consultants, and all those working in business corporations and non-governmental organisations whose
activities relate to energy and the environment.
Also available online via ScienceDirect – featuring extensive browsing, searching,
and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making
navigation flexible and easy. For more information, pricing options and availability visit www.info.sciencedirect.com.
Audience
Academics, researchers, professionals and students working/studying in energy and its related fields; policy makers, energy and environmental
consultants; all those working in business corporations and non-governmental organisations whose activities relate to energy and the
environment.
