Renewable Energy: Sources and Methods (Green Technology) Hardcover – December 1, 2009

I was looking for a book to become informed about renewable sources and decided to get this one because it was the cheapest ($8 on amazon at the time of purchase).To my surprise this turned out to be a great book that, in my opinion, introduced me to many idea's and alternatives regarding renewable energy. Although the text is short (223 pages) I feel like I got a lot out of it.The author has a lot of charts that help the reader grasp the ideas that he/she is trying to convey, there is also diagram's that explain some of the more complex processes, and "Case Studies" that explain particular situations related to the subject at hand for example, an explanation on the impact of the Toyata Prius and why it beat others to the market...The text is well written, and I never became bored throughout the whole book (I read the whole text within two weeks).Overall, this is a great text and I recommend it to anyone that wants a short and concise work to become introduced to the world of renewable energy.My only complaint is that I wish the author had writen more in depth about each particular section, but I still give it 5 stars.
