| Abstract
|
:
|
"This comprehensive reference contains contributions by over 50 experts from around the world. Topics cover aspects of power generation from all known sources of energy around the globe, including solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave power, bio energy (including bio-mass and bio-fuels), waste-material, geothermal, fossil, petroleum, gas and nuclear. Nanotechnology and the role of NASA in photovoltaic and wind energy are also covered."--Back cover.
