A great primer on energy and fuels

I don't know what the other previous 2 star reviews were complaining about. I received this book yesterday and thought it was a great book for people wanting to learn more about not only oil but other forms of fuels and alternative fuels. This book does talk about bio-fuels as well (under "bio-mass fuels"), contrary to what one reviewer said. The diagrams were great and they even had a section in color with some great computer generated graphics/diagrams. Since it's edited by the people at Scientific American, it is not too simple, yet not too technical either. Actually, I kind of wished they "dumbed it down" for readers who are not as technically familiar with how fuels are processed. Overall, I thought it was a great primer on fuels and will allow the reader to better understand this topic.
