Once more, the Know It All series are able to delight the reader. This is a comprehensible and complete collection about the sources of energy and the general scientific concept and definitions that can be intended to general public specially to college and university students.

All of the Know-It-All series of books are excellent! Each of them gives a synopsis of the most important things to know on the topic in a brief but well-laid-out manner, and Energy is no exception! These books are a good introduction or a good review, as well as a starting place for discovering which topics you'd like to learn more about afterwards -- and then you can get a more in-depth book on just that topic.

Great introduction to energy

Much like the chemistry, biology, and inventions books in this series, the contributors and editors created a fun, easy to read introduction to physics, energy more specifically. All the explanations are clear and written in a conversational tone. And each entry is accompanied by a beautiful illustration. I recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about this area of physics.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.

Many people enjoy reading for information but find it difficult to get through nonfiction books due to lack of time. For such people the Know-It all book series from Wellfleet Press is ideal. Each topic is divided into 50, two-page chapters , including a summary sentence, a full-color illustration and a quote from a prominent expert.
The new volume on energy, edited by Brian Clegg is a good example of the series’ format. Energy is a broad subject and Know-It All Energy describes, aspects as diverse as photosynthesis, thermodynamics, renewable energy sources, eternal and internal combustion engines, dark energy and the ultimate fate of the universe.
There are limitations with a format like this. Restricting each chapter to two pages means details are sacrificed. For example, the chapter on steam turbines explains why they are the dominant source of electric power generation, but does not really show how they work. In such cases, a diagram would be preferable to the pop art-inspired illustrations that appear in each chapter. Nevertheless, Know-It All Energy is a good introduction to a broad and complex subject.
These short (less than 200 page) volumes would make ideal study guides for students needing to cram for a test. Scanning the one-sentence summaries at the start of each chapter should provide a decent review of the topic.

I love the books in these series. It makes it very easy to take in a lot of complex information.
