Books in Powering Our World series

Explains how wind energy is generated and used, discusses wind farms and turbines, and considers its use as a renewable resource.

In this book, young readers will learn about passive solar power, photoelectric conversion, and how often they encounter solar energy use in their everyday livesoftentimes, without even knowing it. Students will see the sun in a whole new light.

Eco-conscious readers will be thrilled to know that one of the most powerful, renewable sources of energy has nothing to do with burning fuel or releasing of pollutants, and has a very minimal production of green house gases. Students will see how weve harnessed the power of nature and water to create hydropower.

This fact-packed book offers a simple, age-appropriate explanation of nuclear energy, discusses fission and fusion, and explores the pros and cons of this important energy source. A timeline is included to provide a full historical view of our challenges and advances in nuclear power.
