Antoine C. Bret is Associate Professor at the Universidad Castilla La Mancha. His main research interests focus on theoretical plasma physics and astrophysics.Antoine Bret has been teaching an introductory course for students in engineering, where he introduces the debates about energy and climate change and in particular their intimate catenation. The present book is the consequent continuation and it will also provide non-specialists with a basic understanding of the energy-climate continuum.

"This book is a thoughtfully laid-out guide to help the reader grasp the immensity and intimacy of the energy and climate connection: a conversation starter and igniter. ... you will be invited to draw your own conclusions about the issues presented as you gain basic insight into the energy and climate relationship. ... As a specialist in energy education, I have read and digested countless energy and climate change articles, books, and classroom lessons. ... The Energy-Climate Continuum is refreshingly different." (Cynthia Howell, Reports of the National Center for Science Education, September-October, 2015) "This book addresses the threats and opportunities facing the global energy systems, explaining in a readable way how strongly the energy and climate debates are interconnected. ... The book, which is very much worth reading by everyone who wants to understand the present energy-climate debate, shows that we need the development of all potentially viable options for low-carbon energy, promoting research and favouring innovation without jeopardising the security of energy supply." (Carlos Hidalgo, Europhysics News, Vol. 46 (5-6), 2015)
