About the Book
A-Z Energy is considered as one of the fundamental needs of human being. Its necessity arises from the role it plays in human development and economic growth. As India is generally enclosed with renewable energy sources it has to move towards greater use of renewable energy. Increasing use of these sources will be instrumental in simultaneously achieving environmental objective. With increasing industrialization, urbanization and globalization taking place, sustainable development has rather lost out on any form of the utilization of its perspective. Nonetheless, it is necessary that efforts in this regard be sustained, especially as sustainable development has to be inevitably implemented if we are to take any positive step in the direction of environmental conservation.Although energy and environmental concerns were originally local in character but have now become major political issues and the subjects of international debate and regulation. This book contains terms covering vast range of subjects like Introduction to Energy, Electric Current, Electric Power Trasnmission, Fossil Fuels, Energy from Waste, Geothermal Energy, Hydrothermal Energy, Wind Energy, Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Fusion. The rich contents are guiding referral to students, researchers, energy planners, environmental activists and administrators.About the AuthorProf. G.K. Bose has retired from a lifetime of teaching physics. A graduate of Harvard College, he began his teaching career at the secondary level, teaching chemistry and physics to students at Rohilla Academy, an independent school in Kanpur. In 1979, he returned to Harvard to study Particle physics with the late Professor A. David Antony. After receiving his Ph.D. there, he went on to teach introductory Physics (in both majors and nonmajors courses) and Physics at Tufts University where he became a tenured professor. In 1989 he returned again to Harvard where he taught Particle Physics and also participated in teaching the introductory course for majors. He has also published books on Atomic physics, Nuclear physics, Applied Physics, Molecular Physics, Wave and Optics, Heat and Thermodynamics and a widely-used text on Chemical kinetics and chemistry.
