(4) 4-6 Fueling the Future series. This series argues that global environmental change demands the development of alternative forms of energy production, and it presents several options. Accompanied by simple diagrams and photographs, the texts convey basic scientific concepts underlying these alternative sources. The pros and cons, facts and figures are adequate; however, more complete descriptions would have improved the usefulness of the series. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Fueling the Future titles: Solar Energy, Fossil Fuels and Biofuels, Nuclear Energy, and Water and Geothermal Energy.
