This is book is great for engineering students or for anyone who finds this subject interesting. I found it hard to put down myself. I am studying mechanical engineering and this book gives you so much background details of where and how certain technologies have come about, all very clearly and cleanly presented. It is not as overwhelming as some books in this field can be. Therefore I would highly recommend you purchase this book.

Great reference text in support of my masters in Renewable Energy Systems. Current, well written / illustrated with practical worked examples. It is not fully comprehensive but I am yet to find a book that is, so top marks.

A text book to be used with a teacher. It is not "popular-science".
It is not a book to read on your own unless you have studied physics at University level.
There are exercises in the book but just contains solutions for numerical problems and they are not developed.
