Annual Review of Environment and Resources Book

Formerly titled The Annual Review of Energy and the Environment; the newly titled journal (as of v.28, 2003) has shifted its focus to scientific and policy issues in sustainable development. The twelve articles of v.29, each written to provide an overview of current research in the field, cover topics that include issues in the assessment of aerosol effects on climate, prospects for carbon capture and storage technologies, plant genetic resources for food and agriculture, environmental effects of construction materials, electricity costs, and new energy forecasting models using engineering economics. Each article concludes with an extensive list of bibliography. Scientists in institutions worldwide are the contributing authors. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
