Energy effects the environment.

Weather and climate are not the same. It is normal for the number of extreme weather events to increase and decrease. But human activity is causing the climate to change, and it has been happening for centuries.

Fossil fuels enabled us to attain an unprecedented standard of living that is unsustainable without the energy from fossil fuels. But burning fossil fuels also generates carbon dioxide. Half of this accumulates in the atmosphere where it affects the temperature of the earth.

If we continue on this path, increasing the standard of living will increase fossil fuel consumption. Importantly, human health will be adversely affected within a century or less depending on the rate of growth of use of fossil fuels.

This book from the pen of David W Spitzer of Spitzer & Boyes,  uses science and data to examine the effects of energy on the environment and current strategies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Although carbon dioxide mitigation may be beneficial, they have not halted or reversed the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Targeting certain technologies in certain economic sectors may meet this challenge head-on. This book arms the reader with the knowledge, data, and tools to evaluate what others propose and do about climate change.

Automation & process archive now available!

Spitzer & Boyes have established an archive for the Industrial Automation and Process Control INSIDER. This archive covers all of 2014, and all but the most current two months in 2015.

One does not need to be a subscriber to access the INSIDER Archive, just visit  and select the issue required.


To obtain current issues as they appear subscriptions may be made here to the only magazine that covers both factory automation and process automation that does not take advertising. This means that they can cover events and issues without fear or favour, and their commentary is not flavoured by the size of any advertising budget. 

As David Spitzer says, "At the INSIDER you get the straight stuff. If knowing what's really going on in automation is important to you, you can't be without the INSIDER every month."
