Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"Zini and Tartarini ... provide a well-balanced overview of the hydrogen energy scene. ... This ten-chapter book carefully explains the problems and the promise of this chemical as an energy source. ... The book includes helpful comparisons of various fuel sources by cost, safety, ease of handling, weight, and availability. ... Graphs, charts, photographs, and equations aid the serious student of this field. A list of references follows each chapter. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; informed general readers." (J. C. Comer, Choice, Vol. 51 (1), September, 2013)
