Fusion: The Energy of the Universe

February 15, 2005

A new book, Fusion: The Energy of the Universe, by Garry McCracken and Peter Stott, has recently been published by Elsevier Academic Press. The book is written at the level of an educated layperson.

The book describes the fundamentals of the fusion process, its role in the universe and its potential for energy applications on Earth. It describes both magnetic and inertial fusion and has an extensive treatment of the tokamak concept. A section on fusion power plants is included as well as a comparison with other energy sources. World energy needs are also described.

McCracken and Stott both spent many years working on the JET experiment in the UK.
