Wind
Power in View - Energy Landscapes in a Crowded World
by Martin J. Pasqualetti, et al.
Review: Few books have attempted to tackle the thorny
land-use questions raised by wind energy's hard-won
respectability. As the world increasingly turns toward renewable
sources of energy to avert global warming, what will wind's role
become? Will it be welcomed as the "green savior" that
some see, or will it be fought as vigorously as nuclear power? The
outcome could well hinge on how the public views wind energy on
the landscape.

The
Rammed Earth House by
David Easton
Review: Rammed earth has
been written about many times before by architects, historians,
writers, and ordinary people. This version has been
conscientiously assembled by one who has for two decades walked,
tripped, and walked again . . . along the path of rammed earth.
Beautiful photographs, both color and black and white, illustrate
this building technique that has been described as old as the
hills and twice as strong." Great reading for the person
contemplating building their own house, or for those that like to
read about building techniques.

From
Space to Earth: The Story of Solar Electricity
by John Perlin
Review: From Space to
Earth tracks the
evolution of photovoltaics from its shaky nineteenth-century
beginnings mired in scientific controversy, to its high-visibility
success in the space program, to its current position as an
indispensable and versatile power source that is improving our
daily lives. But the true and amazing story of photovoltaics is
not only the story of a technology. It is the story of determined
individuals who innovated, persevered, took chances, bucked
authority, and brought us to our current increasing, though
largely unrecognized, reliance on this subtle, silent energy
source.

Sunracing
by Richard and Melissa
King
Review: This book
chronicles the "can-do" attitude of many people involved
in building, racing, and sponsoring the solar powered cars. It
traces the development of solar cars from the advent of the
electric car. Major competitions are highlighted -- which were the
vehicle by which the world was introduced to this technology.
Great reading for historians, car buffs, and students doing
reports.
