"A concise and accessible explanation of the science and technology behind the domestication of nuclear fusion energy. Nuclear fusion research tells us that the Sun uses one gram of hydrogen to make as much energy as can be obtained by burning eight tons of petroleum. If nuclear fusionthe process that makes the stars shinecould be domesticated for commercial energy production, the world would gain an inexhaustible source of energy that neither depletes natural resources nor produces greenhouse gases. In Star Power, Alan Bécoulet offers a concise and accessible primer on fusion energy, explaining the science and technology of nuclear fusion and describing the massive international scientific effort to achieve commercially viable fusion energy."

A (very) brief history of energy -- The saga of nuclear energy -- Power from fusion -- Pioneers of fusion -- A skillful combination of science and technology -- A science of compromise and control -- The star-makers -- ... and then?.
