Stephenson, L

The manual was prepared to give up-to-date and accurate information available on energy use by nature and by people. It contains tools for park visitors to use to gain a new understanding of energy, both in the park and at home. This energy conservation information in park interpretive programs is being applied at approximately 100 sites in 20 park systems in the U.S. Extensive information is presented in the 8 chapters: Life From the Sun; Natural Systems; Human Systems; Energy Demand; Energy Alternatives; Conservation; A Finite Earth; and Adapting (continuing to develop an industrial society yet without waste of resources or destroying the environment).
