Peter Rez was an undergraduate at Cambridge Univeristy and received his doctorate at Oxford Univeristy. His expertise is in the physics of electron and X-ray scattering, mainly applied to electron microscopy and spectroscopy but also applied to radiation detectors and medical physics. He has also worked on modeling of battery and other materials. This lead to work on normal biomineralization, the formation of calcite shells. He has also commented on issues where physics affects society at large, both in the deployment of X-ray based body scanners at airports (since abandoned) and more recently on energy policy and climate science.
Review from previous edition Rez takes a practical, physics-based approach to answering some of the most challenging questions about energy use and what we should be doing to increase sustainability, and provides a thorough quantitative analysis of the most important energy policy challenges we face. * Miriam R. Aczel, Contemporary Physics * This is an excellent primer for readers with limited science backgrounds. Overall, it is an excellent resource for undergraduate courses on energy. * J. Tavakoli, CHOICE * Despite the considerable breadth of the book, if we zoom in on specific topics, there is quite a bit of detail... Opening up to nearly any page, there is a pairing of the simple physics and its application, often with very specific examples. * Michael A. DuVernois, American Journal of Physics *
