SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Titles appearing in SciTech Book News — June 2007

The citizen-powered energy handbook; community solutions to a global crisis.

Pahl, Greg.

978-1-933392-12-7

Environmental journalist Pahl (U. of Vermont) offers readers a timely crash course in five renewable energy technologies — solar, wind, water, biomass and biofuels, and geothermal — aiming to inspire individual and community action through abundant examples of energy independence projects around the world. The introductory chapter explores peak oil and other energy problems in the U.S., as well as government initiatives (and the lack thereof) that address them. The author then discusses the potential, the history, and (briefly) the technology of each renewable alternative, followed by case studies. Language is appropriate for a general audience, but community/urban planners and homeowners may find this book especially useful. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)

Sippewissett, or, Life on a salt marsh.

Traver, Tim.

978-1-933392-14-1

Environmental scientist Tim Traver traces the natural history of the Sippewissett salt marsh on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The accessible narrative is a blend of personal memoir, scientific fact, and regional history. The struggle between the march of industrial progress and the conservation of this fragile environment is a central theme. Fine b&w drawings by Bobbi Angell illustrate the volume.
