Brief but critical introductions to classic notions like those of 'energy efficiency', 'elasticity', 'energy services' and the 'energy trilemma', together with discussions and analyses of well-worn phrases about 'low hanging fruit' and 'keeping the lights on', articulate aspects of the energy debate that are often taken for granted. In re-working these established themes and adding twists to familiar tales, the authors develop a repertoire of new ideas about the fundamentals of energy demand and carbon reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a valuable and thought-provoking resource for students, researchers and policy-makers interested in energy demand, politics and policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenny Rinkinen\u003c\/b\u003e is a Researcher in the Centre for Consumer Society Research at the University of Helsinki, Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElizabeth Shove\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor in the Department of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK, and was PI of the DEMAND Research Center.
