Review of Energy (Greenwood Guides to Business and Economics) (Hardcover)

This book is a gem, and its timing is just right. With the recent leadership change in Washington, DC, there is renewed hope (though no guarantee) for responsible, intellectually honest discussion and actions to address U.S. and worldwide energy needs and energy-related issues. This book should help inform the policy debate. On the one hand, it is a thoughtful primer on energy resources, technologies, and systems--an Energy for Dummies, if you will. On the other hand, it is a level-headed presentation of interrelationships and tradeoffs--of the need for balance among many worthy goals, including security, convenience, affordable supplies, and respect for the environment. The author seems to have no agenda other than to share the knowledge and insights he has gained over the years. My only quibble is that this gem deserved a better setting; the publisher could have spent a few extra dollars sprucing up the graphics and layout. I highly recommend this book.
