(3) YA Harnessing Energy series. These brief books present balanced--even scholarly--overviews of major energy sources. Workmanlike prose covers some history for each source; describes capturing/production techniques; and, importantly, examines the contributions and costs of each source: e.g., the relative safety of non-extractives such as solar and wind power versus the lesser yields, intermittent production, and effects on wildlife. Excellent captioned photos illustrate the texts. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review includes these Harnessing Energy titles: Coal Power, Hydropower, Natural Gas Power, Nuclear Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power.
