Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
A frustrating title in the ``Earth at Risk'' series. Though Brown offers a good deal of information about the generation of solar, wind, water, geothermal, and biomass power, he fails to make thoughtful comparisons of their cost, practicality, or relative environmental impact; and he claims, without comment, that ``Gravitational forces inside the planet create enormous heat below the surface,'' which will be news to those who postulate nuclear processes as the heat's cause. The b&w illustrations (mostly photos) are small, badly reproduced, technically deficient, and poorly linked to the text. List of organizational sources for further information; limited glossary; ``Further Reading'' (12 adult sources, all from the 80's), but no citations for the information in the text; index. (Nonfiction. 16+) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
