The book will include little or no mathematical equations. The book’s references/bibliography is a significant resource to those initiating deeper studies. In recent years, the world has seen a dramatic rise in interdisciplinary energy and environmental courses and degrees at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In the US for instance, the number and variety of such programs has increased significantly over the past decade.PPN: PPN: 1697212816Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEE
