Energy Use Worldwide

October 15, 2007
In this comprehensive survey, Moan (political science, Northern Arizona Univ.) and Smith ("The Environmental Policy Paradox") delineate energy consumption's influential political figures and principal challenges while clarifying prospective conservation solutions. The book is rich with illustrative tables and offers a glossary of essential terms. Each of its eight chapters concludes with two pages of reference material. The study closes with a 43-page chapter detailing print, electronic, and organizational resources that deal with associated economic and environmental struggles. With its in-depth approach to a timely subject, this work is essential for environmental science and public-policy collections.
