Lights On! - The Science of Power Generation

Power generation is a relatively
recent concern because humans had little need for sustained power until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Today,
modern civilization is wholly dependent on the production and distribution of power. Without it, our way of life would
be extinguished.

In Lights On!, Mark Denny reveals the mysterious world of power generation. He takes us on a
fun tour, examining the nature of energy, tracing the history of power generation, explaining the processes from
production through transmission to use, and addressing questions that are currently in the headlines, such as:
• Is natural gas the best alternative energy source in the near term? 
• Could solar power be the
answer to all our problems? 
• Why is nuclear power such a hard sell, and are the concerns valid?

Devoting individual chapters to each of the forms of power in use today—electrical, coal, oil and natural gas,
hydro, nuclear, and solar—Denny explains the pros and cons of each, their availability worldwide, and which are
in dwindling supply. Making clear that his approach is that of "a scientist and engineer, not a politician or
businessman," Denny addresses environmental concerns by providing information to help readers understand the science and
engineering of power generation so they can discuss contemporary energy issues from an informed perspective. For those
who wish to delve deeper into the science, a technical appendix provides estimations for a variety of power
generators.
Anyone who is interested in how energy works and how it is transformed to power our lives will get a
charge out of Lights On!

About the Author

Mark Denny was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1953. He obtained a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from
Edinburgh University, Scotland, and spent twenty years working as a radar and sonar systems engineer in the aerospace
industry. He began writing popular science books in 2005. "I was emailed one day, out of the blue, by the
editor-in-chief at Johns Hopkins University Press who had read some of my papers, and who thought they would make an
interesting popular science book. I haven't looked back--explaining science, in a way that non-scientists can
appreciate, is what I do." Mark lives on Vancouver Island with his wife, Jane, and spents his time writing, birding, and
homebrewing beer. He is author of a number of popular science books, most recently Gliding for Gold: The Physics of
Winter Sports and The Science of Navigation: From Dead Reckoning to GPS, both published by Johns Hopkins. More details
