Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future Paperback – 16 Nov. 2017

Interesting read.

Knowledge is power, there's loads of it in this book.

One of my favourite books on renewable energy. A thorough account of every renewable energy form out there, is uses, its benefits and its draw backs. WEll reserached, well written, if anything a little too technical for me in some places but i am a relative newcomer to the subject. Everything is well illustrated and explained.A very valuable resource to have on your desk. Besides being a bit technical for me in some cases, it is now a little old (2004 i think) and the renewable enery industry is changing all the time. If a new version came out i would buy it again. Immediately.

Really useful textbook for a basic outline of the renewable technologies out there with interesting examples given throughout the book which can be further looked into. Despite this being an older edition (2004), the information was still pretty relevant and applicable.

This book is a large format tome of some 655 pages and so quite heavy. It was packaged in a large card envelope which didn't protect it sufficiently as the spine "broke" (see photo). This defect was not mentioned in the details given when I bought it.

Bought the book second hand from Amazon. I have to say i was very surprised at it's condition, It was practically brand new when it arrived and all for under £12! I would highly recommend the book, great for anyone completing a Masters in Energy Sustainability.

This book is used as a study material at the Open University in Energy for a sustainable future course (T206).The boook won't tell you how to fit a solar panel or a wind turbine on your roof nor how to connect your panels to the battery but it will tell you about various renewable energy sources and its pros and cons. The book looks at the energy needs on local, national and international scale, not on individuals scale. Each chapter also has a large list of references for further information.There is a lot of calculations present so, you'll be able for example to calculate the area of solar panels required for your needs or prove that off shore wind turbines generate more electricity than on shore ones.I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in renewable energy.

It's a fantastic book. It gives detailed information on all types of renewable energies. I am sure, you won't find this kind of information on internet at one place.
