Energy: Its Uses and the Environment 6th Edition Ebook

Hinrichs/Wade’s ENERGY: ITS USE AND THE ENVIRONMENT, 6th Edition, emphasizes the physical principles behind energy and its effects on our environment. The text explains the basic physical principles behind the use of energy, including the study of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and atomic and nuclear physics. It also covers crucial environmental questions such as global climate change, radioactive waste and air pollution. Courses using this text will explore how energy is converted into useful forms, how the production and use of energy impacts our environment, and how policy can influence and change these processes.The text can be used in physics, technology, physical science, and environmental science courses for non-science majors. Many of the standard topics found in introductory physics textbooks are included. As a result, this book can be used as the text in a conceptual physics course with energy as the central theme. Students will explore concepts in physical science using introductory algebra and do not require a science prerequisite.
