"Hoffmann conveys both hydrogen's history and coming hurdles. Balance and completeness distinguish the book. No other book compares."--Jesse H. Ausubel, Director, Program for the Human Environment, The Rockefeller University "Peter Hoffmann has succeeded in writing a comprehensive history of hydrogen as an energy carrier along with an evaluation of its current status, so that the reader can judge the progress made to date in developing hydrogen as a supplement to electricity in delivering energy without environmental degradation. I do not know of any other book that covers this full range of hydrogen energy issues."--C. E. (Sandy) Thomas, Vice President, Energy and Environment, Directed Technologies, Inc. "How many times have valuable contributions to scholarship--written and oral--been compromised because of inadequate communication? This is far less likely to happen if economists read and think about the issues discussed in William Thomson's book."--John Pencavel, Department of Economics, Stanford University "One of the most engaging pieces of pedagogical writing that I have ever encountered."--Suzanne Scotchmer, Department of Economics and Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley "This excellent book reveals the numerous opportunities hydrogen offers for satisfying modern energy needs."--Hermann Scheer, President, EUROSOLAR "Peter Hoffmann is a keen observer who has kept his finger on the pulse of global hydrogen and fuel-cell developments. His critical insights and knowledge are elegantly packaged in this very readable and highly recommended book. The author lays out the possibilities and challenges--can we as a society respond with the necessary vision and commitment?"--Alan C. Lloyd, Chairman, California Air Resources Board "Smil has the best macroscope of all current energy analysts."--Jesse H. Ausubel, Director, Program for the Human Environment, The Rockefeller University
