'...was impressed by the scope of the contributions and their
clarity. All appear to have been written specifically for this
''Handbook'' and all are readily comprehensible without a large
amount of assumed previous knowledge. . . a very useful source
document and many of the chapters represent a good starting point
for student research projects.'
--Tony Owen, Economics of Energy and Environmental Policy'In
today's modern world where energy resources are increasingly
scarce, climate change is a hot-button issue, and population growth
continues to push the need to promote sustainable living, Handbook
of Sustainable Energy is highly recommended as an absolutely
invaluable contribution to graduate school libraries and the pool
of literature available to professionals in the field.'
--The Midwest Book Review
