It is a good book about natural gas, but as I understand it does not have an author and Ms. Busby was an editor of it. The book is based on educational materials of Institute of Gas Technology and is in some parts rather fragmented (i.e. I had a lot of questions at the end of a chapter, which were not laid out) and also in many ways repeats information, graphs, etc from other books, published by Penwell in their Non-Technical Series, especially from the book written by Norman J. Hyne. As result of these repetitions, the value of new information from the book was a little lower, since I read already almost entire non-technical series. However, if you did not read the book of Hyne and the book on oil and gas pipelines by Miesner, all material shall be new. As usual for all non-technical series, the book's target audience is not people who work in gas field, as it might look a little too basic to them.
I enjoyed learning about natural gas in terms that did not require me to use a tech manual to understand. Since all energy options are soon to be used, if we are to survive, I now have a workable set of facts to build my own opinions upon.
Thank you!
Super fast shipping & book was brand new, fantastic price!
