About the Author 

Nick Jelley teaches at the University of Oxford, where he is a Professor of Physics. John Andrews teaches at the university of Bristol as a Visiting Fellow. Both share a deep understanding of the science behind the modern energy industry, as well as a fascination with building a better, more efficient and more ecologically sustainable power infrastructure.

Energy Science: Principles, Technologies, and Impacts is easily approachable for beginning engineering students, but never skimps on detail.
