Excellent Text on Solar Energy by Jesse D. Kramer (Los Angeles, CA USA)

Dr. Gevorkian has done great work in writing on one of the most important technologies in the world today. The book is well organized, easy to read, and useful for those with engineering or non engineering backgrounds. I read it as a business student, with no engineering background, to increase my knowledge of renewable energy. I found even the technical sections relatively easy to understand. The book not only discusses solar technology, it also gives examples of solar applications, and lists leading solar companies. The end of the book gives a good overview of the other renewable technologies. This text is highly recommended.

After reading the first of Dr. Gevorkian's works on sustainable energy systems I thought it would be interesting to see what could possibly be added to his latest. The second book is intense in its content. Packed with so much information it would be overwhelming to read cover to cover - rather it is like an encyclopedia on the subject and a very useful reference. For an architect or engineer wanting to learn how some of these systems might be integrated in a project they are working on, or for a layman to have a savants knowledge of these subjects, I give it a high recomendation.
