ENERGY (ALL THAT MATTERS)

Book ID/图书代码： 06400014B75120

English Summary/英文概要： Energy is probably the defining topic of our age. Uncertainty over the long-term availability of some hydrocarbons and nuclear fuels are increasingly prompting volatility in energy prices on world markets. Meanwhile, no serious scientist doubts that the unabated atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide associated with traditional forms of energy use are (at very least) exacerbating natural variations in climate in undesirable ways.

For either reason or both, few commentators of any stature argue that "do nothing" is a credible option in the world of energy management. The technical challenges are legion; yet energy is just as much a socio-economic issue. Surprisingly, there are no authoritative books giving an overall introduction to energy for general readers, students, engineers, geographers or architects, offering adequate coverage of the scientific, engineering, environmental, social and economic dimensions in a single, reasonably-sized and easily-readable volume. The book proposed here seeks to fill that gap.

All That Matters about energy. All That Matters books are a fast way to get right to the heart of key issues.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 不论是出于其中的哪一个原因，或是双重原因的作用，几乎没有任何一位有声望的评论家认为“无为而治”在当今世界的能源管理方面是一个企鹅是可靠的选择。尽管技术上的挑战占据了绝大部分因素，然而能源问题同样也是一个社会经济问题。令人讶异的是，竟然没有任何一本权威性书籍作品能够就能源问题为一般性读者、学生、工程师、地理学家或建筑师们提供一个综合全面的介绍，为其提供适当涵盖了科学、工程学、环境学、社会学及经济学等多个维度的能源问题介绍，将之融汇在一本独立、篇幅适中同时又易于阅读书册之中。而这里所提及的这本书将填补这一空缺。

有关于能源的所有重要的一切。"所有重要的一切"系列书籍将带领你快速了解这一系列关键问题的核心所在。（DC）

Professor Paul L Younger FREng is Professor of Energy Engineering at the University of Glasgow, where he holds the Rankine Chair of Engineering. With a background in Earth Sciences and environmental engineering, Paul has some thirty years’ experience in the water, mining and energy industries. In parallel with his university duties, he is Director of two pioneering companies in different spheres of the energy business: Cluff Geothermal (active in low carbon combined heat and power in Europe and Africa) and Five-Quarter (developing new responsible interim use strategies for fossil fuels while we await the advent of baseload and despatchable renewable technologies of high capacity). He is also a Trustee and Chair of the Global Scientific Committee of the Planet Earth Institute, an international NGO which is working for the ’scientific independence’ of Africa through multi-country partnership research and education projects. Paul is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering - the top professional honour for engineers in the UK.
