The Board on Energy and Environmental Systems of the National Research Council recently published a 32-page booklet entitled What You Need to Know About Energy. Geared to a general audience, the booklet is the first in what will be a series of informational booklets designed to engage readers in current topics in science, engineering, and medicine.  The series is part of the National Academies’ Communications Initiative.

I have posted a “widget” that gives you information on how to get this free book.
