A Very Short Introduction

by Nick Jenkins ...

Narrated by Chris Sorensen ...

Unabridged

4 hours 26 min

Modern societies require energy systems to provide energy for cooking, heating, transport, and materials processing, as well as for electricity generation. Energy systems include the primary fuel, its conversion, and transport to the point of use. In many cases this primary fuel is still a fossil fuel, a one-use resource derived from a finite supply within our planet, causing considerable damage ... Read more
