    I used this book as a primary text for a course on “Energy & the Environment” where we dealt with all current and future methods of energy production and their effect on the environment.

    This book is by far the best and easiest to read, whilst still containing accurate and complete information and data (though most of the data is based on the UK). It contains relevant formulas and mathematical information but is not too technical as to leave the reader jumping through numbers.

    I’ve given this book 5 stars, because I couldn’t find any flaw in it. It’s a MUST have for any one interested in renewable energy.

    This book is an excellent resource for those interested in a good initial exposure to renewable energy. Concepts are clearly explained, and the colorful graphics add to the overall appeal. Although the book centers on implementation of technologies in Britain, this should not limit its relevance. In fact, many of the technologies that may not be as economically viable in the U.S. and other countries, such as wave and tidal power, receive a thorough treatment in this book.

    This book has very nice pictures and broad overview descriptions but it does not dive into technical details of renewable energy device operation. Many of the exmaples shown are in Europe, and therefore less tangible for U.S. students. It would be a more appropriate textbook for a renewable energy survey course.

    An excellant resource for a closer look at Renewable Energy! The book is well written, and goes into great detail about each topic. It is a very readable book; one that a semi-educated individual could probably figure out and understand. It also has so many references you can follow for further, more detailed study of each topic.

    It’s a fantastic book! Covers all you need to know, albeit focusing a bit too much on the UK!
