Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
"P class=""book_description"">Energy Options for a Low-Carbon Future Practical solutions for meeting our energy demands while combatting climate change on a large scale, from ""the David Suzuki of Britain.""
Respected, authoritative, award-winning author Chris Goodall adds new material to the climate change debate. His engaging and balanced volume -- popular science writing at its most crucial -- is arguably the most readable, most comprehensive overview of large-scale solutions to climate change available. Everyone agrees we need to slash global greenhouse emissions. But how do we achieve that goal? Goodall profiles ten technologies to watch, explaining how they work and telling the stories of the inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs who are driving them forward. Some of Goodall's selections, such as the electric car, are familiar. Others, like algae and charcoal, are more surprising.
