Résumé

'This is an outstanding undergraduate textbook which deserves to become the standard text. I can only urge all those who are teaching courses in the field and all students, formal or otherwise, to read and treasure this book'.

Professor Robert Hill, Times Higher Education Supplement, review of the first edition of Renewable Energy.

The need to produce clean, sustainable power from renewable energy sources is now a worldwide concern. Renewable Energy provides a comprehensive overview of the principal renewable energy sources available today. For each one, it explains the underlying physical and technological principles, and examines environmental impacts and future prospects. This new edition has been carefully updated to include recent advances in renewable energy technology and to reflect increasing concerns over the environmental impact and sustainability of conventional fossil and nuclear fuel use.

Readership: Undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses in Energy, Sustainable Development, Environmental Subjects and Architecture. Also suitable for non-specialists.
