Product Description

The three volumes VIII/3A, B, C of Energy Technologies should primarily serve scientists, engineers, and students to gain information on physical, chemical, and technical properties of all technologies to provide, convert, distribute, store, and finally use energy. They are supplemented with economic background information and with specific concepts, to allow the reader a proper comparison of different energy technologies. In this way these volumes on energy technologies should help human society pave the way towards sufficient and environmentally safe provision and use of energy. The various contributions have been written by experts from all around the globe working in universities, public research institutions, and private industrial companies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Slightly Disappointed, November 11, 2008

By	Evil Overlord - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nuclear Energy (Landolt-Börnstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series / Advanced Materials and Technologies) (Hardcover)

I ordered this book to complete my doomsday weapon. The information is clear and well drawn-out, particularly the detail regarding the fusion of plasma energy with dark matter. My weapon was finished on schedule. Guaranteed Armageddon. It was beautiful, really. Except it turned out that due to a tiny error on page 601 of the book, my device was not exactly a success. I now have to start from scratch. Beginning with my army of minions.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good but could be better..., November 14, 2008

By	Dean R. Speer "Numerical Data Guru" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nuclear Energy (Landolt-Börnstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series / Advanced Materials and Technologies) (Hardcover)

Sure I can render my foes defenseless with the mighty transmogrifier I made after finishing chapter 5 but I was lead to believe this was the "Pop Up" version of Nuclear Energy (Landolt-Bornstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology). I already own the abridged version of Nuclear Energy (Landolt-Bornstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology) and while it did allow me to dabble in the juvenile realm of cold fusion it was the tantilizing prospect of world domination wrought via colorful anime pop ups that really hooked me in to this purchase. On a plus note the illustrations (while only 2D) are hilarous. Landolt-Bornstein are famous for their wit (as witnessed in the classic "Bornstein Bears" cartoon series). Bottom line, if you already own the original Nuclear Energy (Landolt-Bornstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology) skip this purchase; if your looking to expand your library of Numerical Data and Functional Relationship books and don't mind the lack of 3D Pop Up Support then buy a copy today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful read!, November 9, 2008

By	active1x0 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nuclear Energy (Landolt-Börnstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series / Advanced Materials and Technologies) (Hardcover)

Simply a gem; thank you Landolt and Bornstein!. Within a few years of buying this book, I had finally done enough research to make it through the first chapter. That same day, I was able to construct my own highly-stable supercritical water cooled nuclear reactor - a perfect Christmas present! Granted, no one on my Christmas list *asked* for a nuclear reactor, but hey, if they don't like it, screw 'em! When was the last time they built their own nuclear power source? Bunch of naysayers. You sit in your tower. I don't need this...

Great book - happily awaiting the sequel!
