Natural Sources of Energy (Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature)

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Published in 1913, Natural Sources of Energy by A. H. Gibson is a foresighted investigation into the problem of sustainable energy. It offers a glimpse of early scientific views of how fossil fuels, wind, water and solar power could be used to create energy.
