Reviews
Congratulations to both authors for this contribution to energy management literature. In addition to providing an outstanding review of the energy resources available, they have proposed an energy plan that has the potential of solving the dysfunctional state of our nation's energy problem. Their plan successfully removes the past negative impacts of regulatory, political, regional, etc., self-serving interests currently impeding the development of an implementable energy plan. The quantification of the pros and cons of all the major contributors to energy resource assessments is another positive feature. --Rita D'Aquino, Technical Editorial Consultant (Former Editor of CEP magazine) This book provides a broad spectrum of topics in the energy discussion. From fundamental energy principles (e.g. first law of thermodynamics) to energy management and policy, this book is an excellent resource for the energy professional. --James Patrick Abulencia, Ph.D., associate professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Manhattan College, New York, USA
