Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future

Excellent book. While reads like a textbook, the information is accurate, up to date, and complete. Lots of illustrations and diagrams to make the material easier to understand. Moderate understanding of math needed to do the calculations, but if all you're looking for is a review of alternative energy and its place in the world, this will be great for you. My professor used this book as a textbook for our Renewable Energy in the Pacific Northwest class. I won't be returning it.

Is a nice book. Has several and updated information about renewables. Is UK centric but also explain world situation. Is so easy to understand, even to people with low knowledge in power engineering. As a Mechanical engineer, I could say is a great book to get a global knowledge about renewables. Full Color book, several topics, writers, pictures. Recommended book.

The Third Edition provides current, up to date information and does a great job connecting the science of renewable energy to "real life," while still ensuring the reader learns the fundamentals of the science. The text produces an educated reader able to effectively apply learned information where it matters. The text addresses renewable energy specifics of the UK much more than specifics elsewhere in the world. More information on renewable energy as it applies to different countries and regions would be beneficial.

Strongly recomended reading, it is actuall regarding energy projects been built world wide, accurated and technical accesible even for non engineers.

My teacher mumbles constantly and looks like he had hit a small child with his car thirty years ago and told nobody about it and now its eating him alive. Without this I probably would have failed his course. 10/10

It's all about UK. I don't recommend to use this book as a course material in the US.

Exactly what I need for my next class. Arrived when it was supposed to and is exactly as advertised.

Has plenty of information on the different types of renewable energy, the ways of building and constructing before harnessing, etc, Very futuristic.

the book was cheap but it is not colored except the cover. it is important for some pictures. i suggest the book for general information.

Book are in New conditions

There aren't many boxes this book does tick. For those simply wishing to know what the fuss is all about to academics and professionals this book takes the subject and assumes you know nothing, then leads you through the theory to real life examples. Some chapters (each chapter is devoted to a technology e.g. wind, solar) are stronger than others, but all stick to the excellent method and do so well. Recommended for anyone with an interest - but certainly A Level to PhD studies on the topic will not be disappointed. (NB - this 3rd edition is very similar to the 2nd (which I had previously) with general updates to the figures used and real life examples, to bring it up to date. The style and theoretical content are pretty much identical)

Bought an older textbook for a class and was difficult to find. I needed to purchase out of country and found it here at a great price! Book was used and stated very good condition. The book arrived in less then a week (2-3 week estimated shipping) and came damaged. I contacted the seller who responded promptly and offered a partial refund as I did need the book. Exactly what I need and fantastic customer service, would buy from them if required again!

The book I received contains stained pages with a dirty front and back.
