Features: "How It Works" consists of ten volumes, written by over one hundred experts over more than two years. The ever-prolific plants, ubiquitous materials, boundless universe, environment we rely on, ever-changing geography, global communication, power transmission, and ancient life—"How It Works" starts with scientific phenomena frequently encountered in daily life and closely related to it, allowing readers to absorb modern scientific knowledge, spirit, and methods through engaging reading. The writing style of the books differs from the traditional, fragmented entry-style, instead integrating various knowledge points comprehensively. This series of books consistently adheres to the principle of humanism, starting with scientific technologies and phenomena commonly encountered by the public and closely related to their lives, enabling readers to absorb modern scientific knowledge, spirit, and methods through enjoyable reading, establish a correct scientific awareness, approach science and the world with a scientific spirit, and participate in scientific practice. The books also include many illustrations that complement the text. The information conveyed by the images cannot be replaced by text, making the reading experience more relaxed and facilitating comprehension. "How It Works" bridges the gap from public enlightenment to public understanding in science popularization. Countless "whys" are asked, and the answer is revealed. To achieve the goal of "sustainable development," in energy utilization, on one hand, we must develop various pollution-free, renewable energy sources such as solar energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, wind energy, ocean energy, and nuclear fusion energy. On the other hand, we must adopt various energy-saving measures to conserve energy. To prevent environmental pollution caused by energy utilization, in addition to developing pollution-free new energy sources, various purification technologies must also be adopted when using existing fossil fuels, coal, natural gas, and other energy sources to minimize their pollution to the atmosphere. The 21st century is the century when human society transitions from the post-industrial society to the knowledge-based economy. In terms of the energy field, the 21st century is a structural transformation period from relying on fossil fuels to renewable, pollution-free new energy sources. "Science and technology are productive forces, but for science and technology to fulfill their role as productive forces, in addition to the efforts and contributions of scientists and engineers, they require the recognition and support of the general public. Therefore, as a volume of the "How It Works" series, this book has compiled over a hundred new technologies and developments in the field of energy, providing a brief introduction to the direction and progress of the energy structure transformation.
