Review :
'The information contained in this book is very detailed about the various types of renewable energy sources available. It is well presented, both visually and through written description. Renewable energy has a major part to play in our society today and I think this book explains the systems that are being used very well indeed.' Terry McCarten, East Surrey College 'The text and images are very clear and the format makes it easy to find, read and digest the information. Good clear text supplemented with good graphics and images' Michael Lavelle, Stockport College 'The book deals with all the main sources of alternative energy supplies. Very good clear graphics to aid understanding.' Paul Palmer, Deeside College 'I found the book to be of a similar high quality to the inspection and testing book Christopher Kitcher has also written. The text makes this book suitable for the environmental units on qualifications. The text is pitched at the correct level with clear colour illustrations.' Mark Baker, West Suffolk College 'The practical guidance, is what sets this book apart from other texts I have reviewed' Bradley Williams, West Suffolk College 'Highly readable, good images throughout, excellent coverage' Tony Bechelet, Highlands College
