From Booklist
Reviewed with Christine Petersen's Wind Power.
Gr. 3-5. The familiar small, square format and the large, well-spaced type of volumes in the long-running True Book umbrella series have been preserved in this new offshoot, Environment & Conservation. Petersen provides readers with a lucid picture of the sun and wind as natural forces before introducing some of the technology (windmills, turbines, solar panels) used to harness energy on a large scale. A few more diagrams (how a windmill works) would have been helpful, but the captioned photos are well chosen, and the science and the explanations of the technology are eminently clear. Each book ends with a forecast of the future that informs kids about the advantages and disadvantages of such renewable resources and speculates on their use in years to come. Slick paper, colored screens, and attractive page layouts contribute further to a fine addition to the True Book stable. Stephanie Zvirin

Richie's Picks: SOLAR POWER (True Books)
29. Oktober 2004
Format:Bibliothekseinband|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
"The sun's energy comes from deep within the core. Here, the scorching heat causes hydrogen atoms to move constantly. Some of the atoms slam together and stick, in a process called nuclear fusion. Fusion changes hydrogen into a heavier atom, helium. Along the way, energy is released as heat and light. Energy created by fusion inside the Sun streams out in every direction. Light travels through space like waves on the ocean--but much faster. From the time the light leaves the Sun, it takes just over eight minutes to reach Earth.
"Earth absorbs only about one-billionth of the heat and light released by the Sun."
Some might mistakenly assume that a heavily-illustrated 48 page book set in large type would not have much depth. Not only does Petersen explain the science of solar power being an essential part of life and fossil fuels, but she goes on to discuss solar energy technologies. Admirably, she gives significant weight to passive solar heating (which is shortchanged in many comparable books) and domestic solar hot water heating systems, before delving into the large scale high tech systems and out-in-space systems.
