The Renewable Energy Handbook: A Guide to Rural Energy Independence, Off-Grid and Sustainable Living

I believe most topics covered just scratch the surface of the field. One needs a lot more information from other sources.

If you are looking into various forms of alternative energy, this book covers it all, even a few you may have not thought about. A clear non-engineering discription of each method is provided along with the pros and cons. Diagrams along with examples and photos are provided as well.
This book will act as a valuable tool to both novice and professionals.
A very cost effective investment!

This book is a web site printed out in large type. Books printed thirty years earlier are more usefull.

Helpful and informative. Easy to understand diagrams and explanations in plain English (i.e. you don't have to be ultra-tech-savvy to understand it).

Lots of useful info. Gives you a new way to look at the world.
