Fossil Fuels
Energy: Past, Present, and Future
Accounting for more than 90 percent of the world's energy supply, fossil fuels--coal, petroleum, and natural gas--are not an infinite resource. Formed by the lengthy decomposition of organic matter, fossil fuels are actually limited in availability. Still, nations across the globe are dependent upon the processing and utilization of these dwindling resources. Complete with maps and detailed diagrams, this volume examines the production and distribution of fossil fuels and their viability as a future energy source.

Series review: Energy: Past Present, and
Future
"The two books in this series have an academic air, and
would be good for students researching science fair projects or doing in-depth
research... Both books have color photographs and charts that help illustrate
points being made. When covering potentially controversial topics the tone is
neutral, details are just factually explained. The series offers good, solid
scientific facts."
