Review :
'Offers knowledge and inspiration to promote renewable energy in developing and industrialized countries.' Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of UNEP 'This is a very good synthesis of the current situation. It highlights the key issues and proposes solutions even if there remains so many problems. This is an excellent, if technical text that would given educators a very strong background to boost their work in this area. As the contributors often note, education is the key: this book deserves to be widely read to help the process along.' http://users.bigpond.net.au 'This wide-ranging review is an impressive attempt to provide an insight into the current state of renewable energy, and the potential that such offer for the future.'
