Concerns over energy resources and the environmental impact of energy use will continue to be part of the polical agenda across the globe. World Scientific`s unique series of books onCurrent Energy Issuesis intended, in part, as an expansion and update of the material contained in theWorld Scientific Handbook of Energybut in part each volume will focus on related energy resources or issues that contain a broader range of topics plus more explanatory text than was possible in theHandbook. The authors will also take the opportunity to update the data presented in the Handbook since in many cases the field is rapidly changing.
