To be fair, I have not read this book. Why 5 stars? The book is a for-profit venture by the author, so recovery of time, effort, & energy is important for revenue reasons. So why write this review? After spending nearly 12-18 hours perusing AMAZON's book list on solar ...             The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy: Achieving Energy Independence through Solar, Wind, Biomass and ... Dan Chiras New Society Publishers, 2006 Good review to renewable energy I found this book to be more satisfying that the author's more popular book, "The Solar House".

But for most peope this will not be compelling for they lack physics ...             Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Example and American Prospects Dmitry Orlov New Society Publishers, 2008 Laughing All the Way to the Brink This is a truly funny book about the collapse of a major empire.
