Description

Energy issues stand at the center of environmental challenges facing modern industrial society. Often, these problems persist because there is a gap in understanding between the public, who may not grasp physical technologies, and engineers, who may not fully account for societal forces. This book by Allan Mazur bridges that gap by combining the perspectives of an engineer and a sociologist. Written for nontechnical readers, this work explains complex energy technologies while providing a deep analysis of the sociology of energy. It offers a comprehensive overview of energy policy across industrialized countries and includes a detailed analysis of climate change. Whether you are interested in the technical side of power or the social structures that drive policy, this book provides the necessary context to understand how energy shapes our world.
