"I've shared your book with a bunch of colleagues and we all think it's a great product. This summer
we are running a Renewable Energy Content Institute, to teach teachers of grades 5-8 how to incorporate
the science and engineering of renewable technologies into their classrooms. We're hoping to use
Energy for Keeps as a text. We think it's a great resource for teachers."

"I thought this publication was a marvelous collection of knowledge on
renewable energy. I am a teacher in Ireland and I have been trying to
source a textbook that would be both as informative and interesting as this
book. However I cannot find a book that offers the same combination
without being too technical. I like the format of the book and feel it is
a very easy read. I think this book would be a fantastic teaching resource
and includes some great ideas for projects. It is obvious that a lot of
work has gone into the publication and congratulations to the authors and
editor."
