Renewable Energy: A First Course
"This book can help you understand and communicate about topics involving physics of renewable energy. Many good features occupy the over-400 pages of this book. Most importantly, Ehrlich places renewable energy technologies within a context that makes sense for environmental professionals. … deserves a place on the bookshelf of people working on energy projects …"—John H. Perkins,Environmental Practice, December 2013"Professor Ehrlich has succeeded in writing a clear, relevant and well-organized book that is very close to a perfect fit for the kind of course I want to teach. This text provides a nice balance between discussing the applied physical principles in energy production and describing state-of-the art technology in the energy field. The text is very clear and readable, and I found the problem sets to be excellent learning tools."—Professor John Smedley, Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, USA"Ehrlich’s readable style with humorous touches keeps the reader engaged. I can see this book as being a well-thumbed text by a wide spectrum of science students and others involved in learning about the central importance of energy security for societies. I strongly recommendRenewable Energy: A First Coursefor advanced level or introductory level graduate students and teachers or lecturers of these courses."—Alexander Waller, CBiol MSB
