A unique overview of energy sustainability, this book is built around the theme that all renewable and non-renewable energy systems ultimately depend on Earth's finite geologic resources. It is written in an informal and often humorous style, aimed at a broad, nontechnical audience ranging from undergraduate students to lifelong learners.
