Editorial Reviews

Review
I think it is safe to say that [Jim Spain] is probably the world's foremost expert in this field. He has also done more than anyone else in synthesizing and analyzing the world's knowledge as it develops. His analyses have led the way in developing new approaches to gain new knowledge in this important field. -C. Herb Ward, Ph.D., M.P.H., Foyt Family Chair of Engineering, Director, Energy and Environmental Systems Institute, Rice University
