*Features* Cover Type: Hard Cover with 512 pages Published by: Elsevier Science Edition: 1st Edition October 30, 2005 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0080445780 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0080445786 Book Dimensions: 9.2 x 6.8 x 1.3 inches Weighs: 2.6 pounds *Product Review* The impressive new Dictionary of Energy will not only help the world communicate better on energy matters, it will also help its users understand energy issues and opportunities. A major contribution to a field of unmatched importance given the links between energy and global climate change-James Gustave Speth, Dean, School of Environmental Science and Forestry, Yale University, USA "The <IT>Dictionary of Energy</IT>, produced by the same team as the remarkable <IT>Encyclopedia of Energy</IT>, promises to bring some terminological order and clarity to this fast-moving, diverse, often confusing, yet vitally important discipline." Amory B. Lovins, CEO, Rocky Mountain Institute, USA "From abatement costs to zinc recycling, here is a comprehensive, authoritative guide to all theoretical, environmental and economic aspects of energy resources, production, and use. This <IT>Dictionary of Energy</IT> deserves a place on every well-stocked reference shelf." Aviott John, Librarian, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria "The <IT>Dictionary of Energy</IT> will most certainly become an essential reference for energy researchers from economics, engineering, and sustainability perspectives, but also for non-energy researchers, policy advisors, industry, non-government organizations, the media, and the general public. Some of us have waited a long time for a publication like this-Mark Jaccard, Director, Energy and Materials Research Group, Simon Fraser University "I think the <IT>Dictionary of Energy</IT> is an extremely useful document, because the future of human activities would depend critically on evolution of the energy sector, making it essential for the public to understand the vocabulary and societal relevance of energy. The essays by noted scientists would provide valuable knowledge in this field. I strongly support this initiative." R.K. Pachauri, Director-General, Tata Energy and Resources Institute, New Delhi "The breadth and coverage of this <IT>Dictionary of Energy</IT> makes it an extremely valuable reference manual for those working in or researching the energy sector." John Gale, Communications and Development Manager, IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme, UK "I praise the coverage of energy efficiency, which is not glamorous (and often neglected) but which is the only practical way for the world to develop sustainably and to delay global warming." Arthur H. Rosenfeld, Commissioner, California Energy Commission, USA The intended readership for this work is not energy specialists, but rather students, new professionals and the general public. On reviewing this volume it is reasonably safe to say that this has been successfully achieved in this very useful book. Clearly explained terms, along with readable essay entries to help illuminate and inform in a most accessible manner making this text a worthy and not overtly expensive addition to most educational libraries."
