Review from previous edition This is an excellent introduction to the physics behind energy production. It is easy to follow and provides helpful examples and case studies.

Dr Martin Wilding, Aberystwyth University

The most comprehensive book I have seen that covers the fundamentals of energy science in detail whilst still providing enough bigger picture content to be highly relevant to all readers.

Dr Simon Smart, University of Queensland

A very comprehensive textbook that covers the scientific principles behind the multitude of technologies we use to produce energy today.

Dr Alan Dunbar, University of Sheffield

The only book to successfully integrate social, economic and environmental considerations with an accessible, quantitative approach to energy science. Energy Science introduces the latest energy technologies, explaining the physical principles underlying technology and discussing their environmental, economic, and social impacts. With a focus on the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources of energy, the text enables students to evaluate the key sources of energy available, and introduces potential solutions to the energy problems facing us today. A core text in the field, Energy Science is full of topical case studies and examples using current data to highlight the practical application of relevant theory. Discussion questions throughout the text encourage the development of deep critical thinking skills, ensuring that students are properly equipped to approach the energy challenges that lie ahead. Digital formats and resources The book is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources: · The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks · Online resources include multiple choice questions and further reading links for students to enhance their understanding, and, for registered adopters, a solutions manual, PowerPoint slides, figures and tables from the book · Available now: comprehensive author updates for summer 2023 include discussion of the main developments in the subject since publication
