Human Awareness, Energy and Environmental Attitudes

This book raises awareness about environmental issues that result from energy production, extraction and conversion, and examines the attitudes people have about these issues. ItВ discusses societal and educational relations associated with energy and environmental issues, focusing on philosophical, sociological and psychological views, and provides an analysis of how the individual and the society perceive, process and analyze the information on this subject. The authors present the concept ofВ environmentally conscious engineering, discussingВ various forms of energy extraction and production, and detailВ alternative, under-researched and unaffordable solutions, such as nuclear fusion and artificial photosynthesis. The book also touchesВ on topics such as the storage of energy and greenhouse gases, recycling and reuse of energy waste, and energy saving and efficiency. The book will be of interest to students and researchers of environmentally conscious engineering, energy use, and human dimensions of ecology and the environment, as well as NGOs, policy makers, and environmental activists.В
