Sustainable energy for a cleaner future

Very good book, extensive but not overly complicated. Book gives a great overview of the many sustainable energy options that could reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses and eliminate toxicity problems caused by fossil fuel technology.. It is NOT a book about the consequences of climate change. Readers who do not believe climate change is a threat could read this book to see how sustainable energy can produce clean energy, sometimes at a cost less than current fossil fuel methods. Boyle presents information, which includes the pros and cons of many different sustainable energy possibilities, and how a particular option can be linked to a specific topographic region to produce the best outcome. He provides both the economic (that is the cost at which different techniques can produce electricity) as well as field reports about renewable energy production sites that are currently supplying energy.

Excellent introduction - even for after graduated engineers

This book clarifies much concepts concerning Renewable Energy. It is filled with lots of statistical and economical charts, concepts explanation, schemas and drawings about the technology.It does not show formulas on how to dimension, but a lot of results from studies are revealed with detailed account on what was found in numbers.Even for an engineering bachelor degree, its worth, because it covers a lot of concept from all the different kinds of Energy.

DO NOT RENT FROM apex_media

The book itself is great, but a word of warning that apex_media tried to rip me off by saying I returned the book damaged when I didn't (The book was on my computer desk the entire time I had it (online class) and was returned in the same box I received the book in). There is no process for them to go through they can just say it is damaged and Amazon charges your card. You can't leave negative feedback because the feedback window is shorter than the rental period (which means everyone that gets ripped off can't even make a point of it to warn people and makes no sense).More on the book, for being 9 years old the book really has great topics on technology that is still relevant today (fracking is even mentioned as a way to tap geothermal). The book is easy to read and follow.

Good but info is getting dated

My school said to get this book for intro to renewable energy class. Published in 2018 all statistics are from 2015. Technology has advanced so much that this book is so far out of date. Also there are no homework or review problems in the chapters. Not the best book for the class.

Straightforward and non-complex textbook.

Written with a very clear and easy way to understand. If you do not have much background in renewable energy, you would still be able to understand this book. A lot of pictures and sections to help you understand the topics. My professors based his class entirely off of the book, so the book was more important for me.

Renewable Energy

An excellant resource for a closer look at Renewable Energy! The book is well written, and goes into great detail about each topic. It is a very readable book; one that a semi-educated individual could probably figure out and understand. It also has so many references you can follow for further, more detailed study of each topic.

Good reference

Used this book for a clean energy program!

Not for US schools.

Book offers good information about renewable energy but is geared towards the needs of the UK. However, the text does offer some good math and science that can be used in any school.
