This is an amazing book, written to be accessible. It goes over the UK's energy problems and possible solutions. David MacKay is a professor at Cambridge University. He backs up his ideas with simple calculations, which are mainly put in a section at the end. It is possible to read what he thinks without looking at the maths. This is probably the best book in our library for Engineering. This book stirred up passionate debate. I even wrote a letter to The Cumberland News in defence of it, because I don't think he wants to cover the whole country in wind farms. David MacKay was so keen that you should read his book that he has made it available for free download on the Internet, if you don't fancy a paper copy: http://www.withouthotair.com/
