Customer Reviews

A really clear explanation of energy issues
Just as we are at last getting wise to global warming, this book gives a very clear, easy to read guide to different energy options for different needs.

Everything from biofuels to hydrogen and nuclear is covered, in straightforward language and with really useful little notes in the margins to explain things. Suitable for anyone who wants to be better informed by the unsensationalised, compelling facts - including older school kids, students and you or me.

It's even an attractive size and format, with colour photos and a hard cover!
