eBook: Sustainable Energy, SI Edition 2nd Edition by Richard A. Dunlap
Quick Navigation

Overview

Explore present and future energy needs as well as options for continued use of fossil fuels and alternative energy sources with Dunlap’s SUSTAINABLE ENERGY, 2nd Edition. Individual chapters thoroughly investigate each energy approach as the book covers both current energy production and future strategies. The author assumes you are familiar with basic concepts of freshman-level physics and chemistry. This edition emphasizes the complexity of energy issues and need for a multidisciplinary approach to solving energy problems. Quantitative end-of-chapter problems help you practice analyzing information, correlating data from various sources, and interpreting graphical data and interpolate values. You see real problems in producing and using energy as you realize that while exact calculations are important, a broad-based analysis is often most appropriate.

Richard A. Dunlap is a research professor in the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University. He received a B.S. in Physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (1974), an A.M. in Physics from Dartmouth College (1976) and a Ph.D. in Physics from Clark University (1981). Since 1981 he has been on the faculty at Dalhousie University. From 2001 to 2006 he was Killam Research Professor of Physics and from 2009 to 2015 he was Director of the Dalhousie University Institute for Research in Materials. Professor Dunlap is author of three previous textbooks: EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS: MODERN METHODS (Oxford 1988), THE GOLDEN RATIO AND FIBONACCI NUMBERS (World Scientific 1997), and AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PHYSICS OF NUCLEI AND PARTICLES (Brooks/Cole 2004). Over the years his research interests have included critical phenomena, magnetic materials, amorphous materials, quasicrystals, hydrogen storage, superconductivity, and materials for advanced rechargeable batteries. He has published more than 300 refereed research papers.
