Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The need to produce clean, sustainable power from renewable energy sources is now a worldwide concern. Renewable Energy provides a comprehensive overview of the principal renewable energy sources available today. For each one, it explains the underlying physical and technological principles, and examines environmental impacts and future prospects. This new edition has been carefully updated to include recent advances in renewable energy technology and to reflect increasing
concerns over the environmental impact and sustainability of conventional fossil and nuclear fuel use.
Long description:
The prospect of producing clean, sustainable power in substantial quantities from renewable energy sources is now arousing interest world-wide, stimulated by recent technological developments that have improved the cost-effectiveness of many of the 'renewables' and by increasing concern over the environmental impact and sustainability of conventional fossil and nuclear fuel use.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the principal renewable energy sources including:
· Solar thermal
· Photovoltaics
· Bioenergy
· Hydro
· Tidal
· Wind
· Wave
· Geothermal
With the aid of over 350 detailed illustrations, more than 50 tables of data and a wide range of case studies it explains, for each source, the underlying physical and technological principles, and examines its environmental impact and future prospects.
The overall approach is interdisciplinary, covering the economic, social, environmental and policy issues raised by renewable energy as well as the physical and engineering aspects. The book will therefore appeal strongly to non-specialist readers who wish to improve their understanding of this complex, fascinating and increasingly important subject.
