Ebook: Fundamentals of Materials for Energy and Environmental Sustainability

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012. — 753 p.
This book represents one of the most integrated and inclusive texts on the topics of materials for energy and environmental sustainability. It provides an inclusive and fair picture of all the different alternatives for energy generation, energy efficiency, and covers many new approaches to clean energy use. You will find here all the information and data that cannot be found in other textbooks. The different chapters are written by very high profile scientists but at a consistent level. The book is beautifully illustrated and the reader will not find preselected solutions to the energy problem but will have all the information necessary to propose hisher own solution. The chapters are completed by a very useful section on questions for discussion to challenge the reader and by a list of further reading for more in-depth analysis. This book was really needed and I‘m sure it will become a reference in the field of materials for energy and environmental sustainability not only for the students but also for researchers working in the field.
