Solar Water Heating: A Comprehensive Guide to Solar Water and Space Heating Systems (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)

Solar Water Heating: A Comprehensive Guide to Solar Water and Space Heating Systems (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series) Review

Heating water with the sun is almost as old as humankind itself, and it is done all over the world. Yet there are strangely few resources on the topic in North America.

Solar Water Heating fills this gap. It reviews the history of solar water and space heating systems from prehistory to the present, then presents the basics of solar water heating, including an introduction to modern solar energy systems, energy conservation and energy economics. Drawing on the author’s experience as an installer of these systems, the book goes on to cover:

• Types of solar collectors, solar water and space heating systems and solar pool heating systems, including their advantages and disadvantages
• System components, their installation, operation, and maintenance
• System sizing and siting
• Choosing the appropriate system.

Since people often get turned off by the up-front cost, the book focuses especially on the financial aspects of solar water or space heating systems, clearly showing that such systems can save significant costs in the long run. Well-illustrated, the book is designed for a wide readership from the curious to the student or professional.

Bob Ramlow is the solar thermal consultant for the Wisconsin Focus on Energy Program. The owner of a renewable energy company, he has over 30 years experience with solar energy systems and is a founder and director of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA). Benjamin Nusz currently works as a solar water heating consultant and site assessor in Wisconsin.

Generation We: How Millennial Youth are Taking Over America And Changing Our World Forever

Generation We: How Millennial Youth are Taking Over America And Changing Our World Forever Review

In the last three years, the Millennial Generation has emerged as a powerful political and social force. Currently including 95 million young people born between 1978 and 2000, the Millennials are the largest generation in history. They are also the first post-ideological, post-political, and post-partisan generation, and they are spearheading a period of sweeping change in America and around the world.

Generation We explores the emerging power of the Millennial Generation, shows how they (and their supporters from other generations) are poised to change our nation and our world for the better, and lays out a powerful plan for progressive change that today s youth is ready to implement. Generation We presents for the first time the results of a major research study into the characteristics of the Millennial Generation, including an in-depth survey of 2,000 individuals and a series of twelve geographically- and demographically-diverse focus groups, all sponsored by author Eric Greenberg and conducted by Gerstein | Agne Strategic Communications, one of the most respected research organizations in the United States. It s the essential guide to the values, dreams, and enormous potential of the Millennials, and could serve as a spark to help kindle the coming youth movement that will restore the damaged American dream.

The young members of Generation We are inheriting a world rife with war, environmental degradation, dysfunctional health and educational systems, dangerous dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil, creeping totalitarianism, diminished civil rights, and a fragile economy. Generation We believes that we must innovate our way out of this complex set of problems, discovering and implementing solutions that will work on a global scale and we need to do it soon.

Generation We suggests an agenda by which today s youth can help lead an American renaissance. As Greenberg and Weber show, the best way to launch the Millennial revolution is with Project FREE, a massive scientific and industrial program to move America beyond fossil fuels by inventing the next generation of non-carbon based energy a program that will save the environment, end our dependence on foreign oil, create millions of jobs, and jump-start a massive economic boom. Project FREE could be one of humankind s greatest achievements and a proud legacy for the Millennial generation.

Generation We also answers the question, What can I do to help turn this vision of a better America into reality? It offers a list of specific steps citizens of any age can take to help promote the progressive ideals and program outlined in the book. Generation We is the book that can inspire a generation to achieve new heights of greatness, allowing Americans to take back control of our lives, our communities, our country, and our future. NEW! Generation We has won the Montaigne Medal for most thought provoking book.
