Textbook resources
We haven’t found a course quite like the one we’re going to offer you so there isn’t a single textbook or electronic resource for your to acquire. We’ll provide you with lots of resources throughout the semester, including journal articles, technical memos, policy briefs, and lab reports.
You should pull out your introductory chemistry and economics textbooks from your library (hope you kept them) and refresh your memory of this material. These resources will be particularly important at the beginning of the semester.
You might also take a look at Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air, a free online textbook by David MacKay, the Regius Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. You can download a .pdf version of this text directly to your computer. The 2009 edition is also available in paperback at Amazon.com. If you decide to purchase the hard copy, or download the book to your computer, make sure that you print out the errata pages from the website.
