ENERGY FOR MAN

FROM WINDMILLS TO NUCLEAR POWER

Hans Thirring

Introduction by Murray Bookchin

"Unquestionably the best survey yet made of the world's energy resources, from 
windmills to nuclear power .... Throughout Thirring's study we are made aware of 
the broad social outlook and deep feeling for human welfare which determine his 
approach to the technology of power. The book deals with every aspect of a 
complex and extensive subject. ... A masterly job, recommended without reserve 
to any thoughtful reader."
-James R. Newman, Scientific American

"One and all will find Energy for Man a compact, comprehensive, and lucid account 
of the history and future prospects of power production. It is liberally illustrated 
with sketches and diagrams, has many tables, a good bibliography, an index, and 
useful appendixes."
-Leslie A. White, American Anthropologist

"A fascinating book. The author is explicit, precise, and lucid in explanation. 
Highly recommended to all who are seriously interested in some of the most 
challenging problems of the world about us."
-J. Murray Luck, Science
