Book Description
This volume presents realistic estimates for the level of fuel economy that is achievable in the next decade for cars and light trucks made in the United States and Canada. A source of objective and comprehensive information on the topic, this book takes into account real-world factors such as the financial conditions in the automotive industry, costs and benefits to consumers, and marketability of high-efficiency vehicles. The committee is composed of experts from the fields of science, technology, finance, and regulation and offers practical evaluations of technological improvements that could contribute to increased fuel efficiency. The volume also examines potential barriers to improvement, such as high production costs, regulations on safety and emissions, and consumer preferences. This practical book is of considerable interest to car and light truck manufacturers, policymakers, federal and state agencies, and the public.

Book Description
Oil is the lifeblood of the global economy, and its misuse carries the risk of heavy economic and environmental penalties. This book is a collection of essays bearing on economic growth and environmental concerns for a world that will continue to be dependent on oil throughout the next century. Topics include the outlook for petroleum demand and supply, the potential for alternatives to a petroleum-based economy, the costs of controlling automobile emissions, the environmental costs of moving oil by tanker and pipeline, and competition issues in the production and distribution of petroleum products. The wide range of topics reflects the many different ways in which petroleum and use affect the quality of our lives. The essays are the end results of an initiative by the University of California Energy Institute and reflect careful research into the costs and benefits of the petroleum economy. Together, they offer new insights into the critical task of living with oil, for today and for the future.

Book Description
SRE covers a wide range of environment conditions, facts, and issues from a statistical point of vantage. The major categories (air and water pollution, solid waste generation and management, hazardous wastes and toxic substances) are covered from various perspectives. SRE also assembles information on special problems and wastes (oil spills, global warming, soil erosion), provides profiles of the pollution control industry and legislation, and presents background information of the sort required to place environmental information into a broader context. Thus SRE shows a good deal of data on industrial production in sectors that are major polluters, presents cost and budgetary information, trends in consumption, public opinion, and the like. parag Most of the materials included deal with the environment in North America. Certain subjects, however, such as oil spills and global warming, have an international focus.
