"the renewable energy handbook"
It was given as a gift, so I haven't heard yet but it looked VERY interesting and is what the gift recipient asked for.
A Really Great Primer
This author is passionate about the subject matter that he writes about. I personally like people who are passionate about their area of expertise, although authors do walk a fine line between being perceived as overzealous when they make their feelings known. I think this author did a fine job presenting a lot of material that would be of particular importance to persons just beginning to delve into the area of renewable energy.
Just right for the Alaskan Bush!
A very good book with many applications for life here in Southeast Alaska, just off the grid.
Renewable Energy handbook
I believe most topics covered just scratch the surface of the field. One needs a lot more information from other sources.
