The essential story of the different facets of energy, where we come from, where we are now, and how we can look to the future.
Description
Who knows how much energy 1 joule represents? How much oil does it take to make a mobile phone? How much coal is used in the world? Despite all the debate about this crucial subject, most of us are in fact “energy blind”. We often talk about energy without fully appreciating what it means today, or how central it is to all human evolution. This book provides the keys to understanding energy in a fun, short chronicle format.
Greg De Temmerman is an energy physicist with a PhD in experimental physics from the University of Basel in Switzerland. He worked in different countries (United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands) before joining the ITER project in 2014 as Scientific Coordinator. Author of more than 230 articles in scientific journals, he is passionate about energy issues. From 2020 to 2023, he led the think tank Zenon Research. He is now Chief Science Officer for the Quadrature Climate Foundation in London. He is also a research associate at MINES Paris – PSL, and a regular columnist for Illuminem.Related products
