Reviews

I know more about 'Energy...Beyond Oil' because of this book. When questions occur, I know where to look for answers. This book provides a comprehensive non-technical snapshot of the current situation in energy research, and will be particularly useful for researchers and policy-makers wishing to update their knowledge of the status of these technologies.

Author Information

"Dr Katherine Blundell is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Reader in Physics at Oxford University and a Science Research Fellow at St John's College, Oxford. Her interests include extreme energy phenomena in the Universe, for example around black holes. She is frequently invited to speak at conferences and different institutes around the world and has published extensively on astrophysical jets, relativistic plasma and distant galaxies. She has co-authored the book ""Concepts in Thermal Physics "" (OUP, 2006) and was recently awarded a Leverhulme Prize in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Professor Fraser Armstrong is Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, Oxford and a Fellow of St John's College. His interests are in biological chemistry, bioenergetics and in the mechanisms and exploitation of enzymes related to energy production. He has received a number of awards including the European Award for Biological Inorganic Chemistry, the Carbon Trust Innovation Award, the Max Planck Award for Frontiers in Biological Chemistry and the Royal Society of Chemistry Award for Interdisciplinary Chemistry. He travels widely giving invited lectures on topics including catalysis, bioenergetics and renewable energy."
