Explore Solar, Wind, Water, Biomass, and the Engineering of Renewable Energy Systems
How can sunlight, wind, moving water, and organic materials be used to produce useful energy?
Powering the Future introduces young readers to the basic science and engineering principles behind renewable energy systems. It explains how engineers use natural energy resources and design technologies to convert, transfer, and manage energy.
Readers will explore:
- Solar energy and photovoltaic systems
- Wind energy and wind turbines
- Water energy and hydroelectric systems
- Biomass and its role in energy production
- Energy conversion and transfer
- Generators, turbines, and other system components
- Energy storage and electrical systems
- Engineering challenges in renewable energy
- How engineers plan, test, and improve energy systems
- The relationship between science, technology, and engineering
The book explains renewable energy concepts through clear examples that connect scientific ideas with technologies found in the real world. Readers can discover how solar panels convert light into electricity, how wind turbines use moving air, and how flowing water can drive turbines and generators.
The book also introduces the engineering process behind energy systems. Engineers must consider available resources, materials, efficiency, environmental conditions, system requirements, and safety when developing energy technologies.
By exploring different renewable energy sources, young readers can develop a better understanding of how energy is produced and transformed and why engineers use different technologies for different environments and applications.
Powering the Future provides an introduction to renewable energy engineering for young learners who are curious about science, technology, energy, and how engineered systems work.
Explore the science of energy. Understand the engineering behind renewable energy systems.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
