Recenzje

'In these times of global upheaval arising from catastrophic climate events and/or geopolitical conflicts, we have been forced to contend with high prices of fuels and looming energy deficits. Professor Celik's book offers engineering-based solutions for the world's current and future energy needs by transitioning away from major reliance on fossil fuels to clean and renewable technologies.' Sergio Mendez, California State University, Long Beach
