The overall approach is interdisciplinary, covering the economic, social, and environmental policy issues raised by renewable energy as well as the physical and engineering aspects. The book will therefore appeal strongly to non-specialist readers who wish to improve their understanding of this complex, fascinating and increasingly important subject.

It is complemented by a new book on traditional sources of energy, Energy Systems and Sustainability , edited by Godfrey Boyle, Bob Everett and Janet Ramage of the Open University.
