2. Energy and the Environment (MIT-Pappalardo Series in Mechanical Engineering), Knjiga pruža podlogu za razumijevanje kako sve veća upotreba energije utječe na okoliš i kako se taj utjecaj može smanjiti učinkovitijom uporabom konvencionalnih oblika energije i njihovom zamjenom obnovljivim izvorima energije., James A. Fay; Daniel S. Golomb, Oxford University Press, 2012.
