If you are a student who has taken or are taking an introductory thermodynamics class, this is a great book.

If you haven't had an introductory thermodynamic class this book can still be of great use, it has a basic thermodynamic overview in the back of the book that should be sufficient for someone with a science background.

You will learn the basics of geothermal power from an introductory thermodynamic approach. With case studies, geothermal well drilling overview, and environmental impact, this book is a great starting point for learning about geothermal power.

It also includes problems for working at the end of each chapter, but personally I don't think they are necessary unless you are using this book for a class.

Dr. Ron DiPippo is well respected as a world-renowned authority on thermodynamics and Geothermal Power Plants. The fact that he can put his vast knowledge into a comprehensive, understandable masterpiece is what makes his book outstanding!!! Dr. DiPippo has a rare gift for converting theoretical brilliance into practical solutions our world needs in order to generate renewable power.
