For the last ten years he has been an independent consultant and provider of expert witness services. Before partially retiring in 2013, he was Professor of Fuel Science at Penn State University where, among many other activities, he served as director of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Energy Institute and, for 25 years, taught an introductory course on energy intended for students not pursuing science or engineering degrees. The proposed second edition of \u003ci\u003eEnergy: The Basics\u003c\/i\u003e is an outgrowth of that course. Previous to joining the Penn State faculty, Schobert was manager of the Coal Science Division in the University of North Dakota Energy Research Center. Schobert is the author of thirteen previous books, nearly 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals and several hundred additional papers published in conference preprints or proceedings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 02, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710079562035,"sku":"9781032665573","price":47.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/qV7ANDvZHV9781032665573.webp?v=1781992965","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/energy-the-basics-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
