xv, 215 pages : illustrations, maps ; 21 cm
"With the possibility of a major biomass-based energy industry exploring the potential horizon, economic, environmental and social impacts are in order. This book examines these anticipated impacts in the Eastern Texas region."--"Foreword," pages xiv-xv.
"The 44 Texas counties east of Interstate 45 ... were chosen to investigate the feasibility of sustainable energy production (ethanol and electric power) from biomass crops as switchgrass, sugarcane, and logging residues"--Page 3. This represents an extension in geographic coverage beyond the 38-county area defined as East Texas in the Online handbook of Texas.
"The information contained in this book is based on a doctoral dissertation completed by the author in 2007 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Urban and Regional Sciences program at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.... For the purposes of this publication, wherever possible the research was updated to reflect current conditions and recent data and statistics added to ensure its relevance to the state of the world today."--Preface.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 156-184).
