Publisher: Nomad Press (April 2009) ISBN: 978-1-9346703-4-7 Giving kids a hands-on opportunity to see energy in action, these 25 projects are an exciting introduction to the ways this hot topic affects both world politics and everyday lives. Packed with information about what energy really is, where it comes from, and its alternative sources, the projects range from a steam-powered boat and a solar-powered water heater to an electric burglar alarm and a geothermal geyser. The tough topics of energy shortages are covered with enthusiasm in a lively discussion so kids can make educated, positive changes for their future.  Why we need power and how we get it are the topics addressed by this wonderfully informative book for middle school children. I highly recommend this book for any science classroom. It allows teachers to teach about energy resources in a fun, engaging, and easy way. --National Science Teachers Association  This book is a marvelous introduction to the basics of energy, written in a very accessible and fun way for young people. It is a must read for every young person in the world as the days of cheap and abundant high-quality energy come to a close. --Charles Hall, Professor, State University of New York  This book is great fun, with energy projects that will inspire students and adults alike. It is high time that someone captured the excitement and importance of energy, and Kathleen Reilly has done a clear and engaging job. --Dan Kammen, Professor of Energy, Univeristy of California, Berkeley
