Applied Energy - Mohammad Omar Abdullah

. .

... [a] comprehensive treatment of energy, including its production through conventional and alternative energy sources, its different uses in society and its conservation. The book's organization into short well-focused and well-explained sections, each of which provides a detailed discussion of a particular energy-related topic, enables the reader to get up to speed on an energy-related subject very quickly. The utility of this organization to those readers who will use it as a desk-top reference is high. ... The presentation is very quantitative (though not at an especially high math level) and will have high appeal to civil and environmental engineers and to economists. -William Menke, Columbia University, New York, USA ... a much-needed textbook ... a logical approach to introducing energy subject matter with ample opportunity for students and professionals alike to practice and hone their knowledge of energy systems and their applications. -Daniel M. Martinez, Ph.D., University of Southern Maine, Gorham, USA
