"Families And The Energy Transition | Environment & Sustainability

Originally published in 1985. This volume on household energy conditions considers the energy crisis in the United States and offers an important appraisal of the future of energy consumption by families and the family's adaptations to decreasing energy availability. The chapters in the first section investigate the cultural dimensions of energy use at the household level looking at attitudes and trends. The second section considers energy policy especially conservation with a special chapter on elderly households while the third presents case studies and projections of the future patterns and changes in energy consumption. This is a fascinating snapshot of thinking on families and the effects of energy use. |Families and the Energy Transition | Environment & Sustainability
