Reviews

This eminently readable text will provide an informed academic reader with a motley collection of critical issues facing specialists on global energy and environment. It illustrates the constant tensions and politicking that occur behind the scenes of any energy development, and deserves a spot on any energy or development expert's shelf. - Joel Krupa, Environmental Development
