Near the end of my teaching career, I often taught courses on energy and environmental physics, including one entitled Global Energy Problems: Science and Policy, which was taught jointly with professors in the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA). This course was the precursor of an interdisciplinary faculty seminar on global energy problems that was sponsored by the Indiana University Institute for Advanced Study following my retirement from the physics department in 1995, and this seminar eventually led to a book.

Energy:Science, Policy,and the Pursuit of Sustainablility

Energy: Science, Policy, and the Pursuit of Sustainablility is described on the Island Press Bookstore web site.

A seminar course based on this book was offered at the Indiana University Collins Living any Learning Center in the Spring of 2004.
