Robert Jaffe and Washington Taylor’s long-needed guide to the fundamentals of energy conversion contains an abundance of knowledge. Energy is an overwhelmingly sophisticated subject. Describing it in both depth and breadth is a Herculean task. The majority of introductory textbooks therefore offer generic, high-level overviews. But the devil is in the details; nuances are important to understanding the big picture and often dictate the feasibility of energy technologies.
