2 comments about The Solar Cat Book.
- This is a great gift book for anyone who has anything to do with either cats or solar energy. I was very disappointed not to find it amongst Amazon's extensive inventory.
- The Solar Cat Book is a great introduction to solar energy using cats as a model system. Augustyn teaches us about solar energy and heat flow mechanics through a series of small stories and jokes. The illustrations and cartoons are not to be missed. Although one of the reviews suggests that children can read this book, I think that it is intended and is more appropriate for adults. It is really a shame that this book is out of print. I think that it should be revived!

2 comments about Consuming Power: A Social History of American Energies.
- I thought this book was fascinating. I have been doing research on energy for a long time and this is one of the best books I have read. Nye examines the role that energy use has played in American society -- an important relationship that energy analysts have generally ignored. The book is very readable and well-researched, and always interesting.
- This is a fabulous piece of social history -- deeply researched, insightful, and utterly lucid. It is among the best university-press books I can remember reading.

1 comments about Alternative Fuels (Applied Energy Technology Series).
- With all the talk, since 1973, of an "energy crisis", the World
is drowning in energy sources and resources.
This book is highly recommended by 'moi' or me, because in
the 1920' and the 1930's, ersatz or synthetic oil, gasoline,
and lubricants, were being developed in Germany.
This means that there have been alternative fuels in use
before World War Two, and this technology has been economically
viable for more than 60 years.
Is U.S. Energy Independence really possible? This book states
that it's more than possible, more than probable, if not a
"slam-dunk" if we utilize our Free Enterprise system, in this
quest for Alternative Fuels.
Professor Lee's book on Alternative Fuels is super-excellent,
and you get your "money's-worth" in the process.
Also, we MUST develop Cars, not just a few thousand hybrid
vehicles per year. I would also read books by the late R.
Buckmaster Fuller. This is where Dr. Lee's fine text is going.
Alternative Fuels--YES----Alternative Transportation--also-YES.
I back Dr. Lee's book--ALTERNATIVE FUELS. Read It. You just
might learn a great deal. It offers many approaches that are
a "MUST READ". From this, energy policies will be a "MUST DO".
The technical reading are down to Earth. There are many examples of the future of World energy resources.
So--BUY THE BOOK!!
Dr. Nick Stage-PHD., from Indiana
