It introduces a theoretical framework for a social scientific approach to the field, and presents a preliminary collection of empirical case studies on geothermal energy and society from across the world. By providing a conceptual and methodological framework to the study of geothermal energy and societies, it brings together information and analyses in the field that to date have been sparse and fragmented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors explore the diverse aspects of the relationship between the harnessing of geothermal resources and the societies and local communities in which these developments take place. After introducing geothermal technologies, renewable energy concepts as well as their social and policy context and the regulative and environmental aspects of geothermal energy, the book analyzes and discusses twelve global case studies, and compares the social engagement tools applied with those used in other sectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf interest to researchers from a range of disciplines who wish to explore the issues surrounding energy and society, it is also a valuable resource for geothermal experts and postgraduate students wish to study the field in greater detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-07-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9783319782850\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319782850\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-78286-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 288\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317574168716,"sku":"9783319782850","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319782850_b2617403-43a9-48fa-85c4-229d2ba5c73c.jpg?v=1755010761","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319782850","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
