| Abstract
|
:
|
Coal, oil, and natural gas began forming many millions of years ago, but the world's appetite for them is increasing, and people are using them up much faster than the earth can replenish them. This book explains how these fuels were formed, where they are found, how they are used, what kinds of problems they can cause, and how scientists are finding ways to use them more wisely and safely.
