More About the Author

An avid gardener and inventive cook, Ann Chambers is a long-time magazine editor and author of many nonfiction books in the electricity and natural gas field.
"Carver's Tomatoes" was her e-book and cookbook debut, showcasing the recipes and inventiveness of George Washington Carver. She followed that with a series of small but delicious Kindle recipe books showcasing the best recipes for niche foods, such as quesadillas, HCG diet foods, and party and holiday fare.
Chambers lives in Northeastern Oklahoma where her garden always has too many tomatoes (plenty for sharing) and not enough squash!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, Completely Clear Presentation of the Sector, December 13, 2001
By 
Bob Basil (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Distributed Generation: A Nontechnical Guide (Hardcover)
This book by Ann Chambers depicts the growing Distributed Generation Energy industry with an impressive and wide-ranging command of the facts but with little in the way of hard-to-understand "under the hood" technical lingo. Effects of this burgeoning technology is documented for both the national and international markets; case studies describe the relative successes of DG installation. I cannot think of a better way to start -- as a company owner, as an investor, as a policymaker -- to begin than with this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Energizing..., December 4, 2001
By 
This review is from: Distributed Generation: A Nontechnical Guide (Hardcover)
Chambers, Schnoor and Hamilton have put together a concise non-technical book on some very technical issues.

Their research is detailed, accurate and extensive. The book is well written.

In these days of rapid change in power generation technology, this book will be outdated within 10 years, though the issues raised here will not be.

Regardless, it's a great read full of great information on a subject that is important to us all.
