Energy Fundamentals
Great for teachers or those explaining the basics of our energy world. Organized by type of energy, the book provides a concise review of coal, oil, natural gas, electricity, nuclear energy, and renewable sources. The heart of the book is a set of "energy lessons" (31 in all) that offers hands-on demonstrations and lessons, including reproducible visuals. A final section contains "just for fun activities" -- energy games, word puzzles, and classroom contests. The book also provides a helpful energy curriculum; it's a detailed outline of the concepts needed to explain our use of energy. Developed by the National Science Foundation, this is a valuable bookshelf resource.

Sizing and Selecting Your Standby Generator (A guide for homeowners, farmers and small businesses)
This 20-page guide explains the operation, sizing and installation of electric generators. It applies not only to farms, but to residential and small business applications as well. Sizing and Selecting Your Standby Generator covers engine-driven and tractor-driven generators, portable and permanently installed. It explains how to match the electrical capacity of a generator to the needs of a particular application. One section is devoted to the requirements and installation of a double-throw switch. This essential component of any auxiliary power installation prevents electrical hazards for both equipment and utility personnel. Three examples are used to convey sizing procedures, and numerous visuals help clarify key concepts. Also listed are the names, locations and phone numbers of 32 major suppliers of standby generators. There is also a section on the use of standby generators in utility peak demand programs.
