Horn Book (Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

The six titles in this series give basic information about each energy source, including the technology of how the energy is harnessed and the pros and cons of each source. Doeden's writing is choppy as he explains complex concepts in simple terms (with some generalizations); stock photos, captions, and diagrams help illuminate the concepts. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
