STM publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of four new energy books reflecting the latest in theory and practice. One of the four books is the second edition of Dictionary of Energy, edited by award-winning researcher, professor and consultant Dr. Cutler J. Cleveland in collaboration with lexicographer Christopher Morris.
Dictionary of Energy is a comprehensive and authoritative reference book on all aspects of energy and its role in society. It comes at a time when the topic of energy prices, resources and environmental impacts are at the forefront of business and political discussions. The new edition contains more than 10,000 terms, across 40 key subject areas in energy such as solar, oil and gas, economics, policy, sustainable development, renewable/alternative energy, and water. The book is a useful reference for all those in the working field of, or who have an interest in energy, including scientists, consultants, journalists, economists, educators, students and policy-makers.
Dr. Cleveland is the Director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies at Boston University, where he also holds the position of Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment. He has edited several other reference books, including the previously released two-volume resource Handbook of Energy, which provides interdisciplinary coverage appropriate for those in environmental sciences, social and natural sciences, and engineering.
The new energy books are: Dictionary of Energy, 2nd Edition by Cutler Cleveland and Christopher Morris; Sustainability Science: Managing Risk and Resilience for Sustainable Development by Per Becker; The Future of Energy by Brian Towler; and Bioenergy: Biomass to Biofuels by Anju Dahiya.
The books are available on the Elsevier Store and on ScienceDirect, Elsevier's full-text scientific database offering journal articles and book chapters from over 2,200 peer-reviewed journals and more than 25,000 book titles.
