Emphasis is on the industry as it exists in Great Britain, but enough material is included about the history of the subject and about activities elsewhere to give a balanced picture of the industry on a worldwide basis. The authors have provided us with a readable and most interesting account of oneimportant means of helping to satisfy the world’s present and future energy needs.
