Very modern energy-environment book with lots of information

A modern approach to energy and its relationship with the environment. It has a great amount of information on the main subject and also on related topics. It can be used as a textbook, but it also proves useful for the energy professional. Fun to read.

A truly excellent and thorough introduction to energy

Written for the layman by a physicist, this is an excellent introduction to energy. There is an explanation of some basic physics followed by a very thorough, very understandable discussion of issues in energy policy today. Written as a textbook, it includes questions after each chapter, plus an extensive set of references. This is the best book I've seen on the subject of energy
