The human race has witnessed a great deal of change in the agricultural, industrial, technological, medical, and transportation arenas. To be precise, change, in this case, is the experienced continuous advancement in the various areas. With the understanding of the dynamic nature of the mentioned facets, the current generation of human beings is curious about the future. Michael E. Webber and Roger Duncan take a special interest in buildings, transportation, and power and how their advancements will affect and shape the future of the world, in their book The Future of Buildings, Transportation and Power.

Michael E. Webber and Roger Duncan took more than a decade to research and write the book The Future of Buildings, Transportation and Power. They intensively researched the topics, contents, and materials in the book. The book is split into five parts. The first part which is named the energy efficiency megatrends entails a crackdown on the progress made in the energy sector, from the times of early civilization to date. The second, third, and fourth parts are named the future of buildings, the future of transportation, and the future of power respectively. There are a lot of exciting opinions and ideas in these three sections. The authors address various aspects of buildings, transportation, and power open-mindedly and exhaustively. In each part of this section, Michael E. Webber and Roger Duncan exclusively show how heavily the three facets interrelate and depend on each other. Part five is the conclusion.

I loved Michael E. Webber's and Roger Duncan's style of writing. The structure of their sentences is complex. They use long sentences which are occasionally accompanied by expressions. The vocabulary they use is very sophisticated, it gives the book a professional touch. This also may make it hard for readers who are not familiar with scientific terms to comprehend the book. Their choice of words exclusively educate and enlighten the reader on the subjects they are addressing. The book is full of exciting and important information.

The authors of The Future of Building, Transportation and Power put remarkable effort into making their readers comprehend their work. There are graphs, pictures, statistical data, summary notes in the book that elaborate and reinforce their points. These also serve to break the monotony of the constant feeding of information and make the book more engaging and fun. Michael E. Webber and Roger Duncan are well informed in the fields of science and technology from what they write.

I loved everything about The Future of Building, Transportation and Power. I did not find anything worth criticizing about the book. I did not find any errors in the book. It was professionally and exceptionally edited. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars . Lovers of nonfiction books on the whole subject of science and technology will find this an interesting book.
