Što znamo o energiji?
An educational and richly illustrated children's encyclopedia that explains—in simple terms—energy sources, forms of energy, its application in everyday life, and the importance of conserving it.
What We Know About Energy is an instructive and vividly illustrated work by British author George Beal, published in translation in 1980. The book is part of an immensely popular and highly regarded series of children's encyclopedias that offered young readers their first insights into key natural and technical topics through expansive, illustrated pages. In this edition, the author introduces a younger audience to the concept of energy in an accessible and clear manner—covering everything from basic forms such as heat, light, mechanical, and electrical energy to the ways energy is generated and consumed. The book explains traditional energy sources like coal, oil, and gas, as well as the operation of power plants, while also touching upon renewable sources—such as solar, wind, and water power—and nuclear energy, a highly topical subject in the 1980s. The content followed a distinctive format: a combination of concise, easy-to-understand text and rich, detailed color illustrations that vividly depict mechanisms, devices, and natural processes. Thanks to its visually engaging approach, What We Know About Energy helped generations of young readers understand how the world around us works and why energy is the driving force behind everything.
