Luis Felipe Bedaque said It's a good book, but it has room for improvements. It's a good book, but it has room for improvements. It has no answer to the problems at the end of the chapters, I think that at least a few of the problems should have the answer. And my copy of the book had some problem in the printing process. In the middle of chapter 6, there are about 10 pages that are not supposed to be there. They are from a complete different section of the book..

Lindner, Ph.D., University of Florida "…provides an excellent overview of the whole sustainable energy canvas. This textbook can be easily integrated, in its entirety or using selected chapters, into a variety of classes, ranging from highly technical engineering design or science classes to classes offered in other disciplines, such as political science, business, economics, etc."––Angela S. The authors teach us that it is not only technology that enables a better future, but our chosen uses of technologies."Carey W. Agami Reddy, Arizona State University, Tempe"… a very educational book that enables an energy novice to become literate in the most important aspects of energy systems. …this book is ideal for a course on renewable energy technologies."–&ndash
