Energy Book *1: Natural Soarces & !qf,y*a Applications, by John prenis, 1975,112 pgs., $4.25 from: Running hess 38 S. 19th St. Philadelphia, pa. 19103 A very good compilation which teams well with Tbe Energy primer to fill the gaps in both. Contains longer. more introductory arricles than EF and is definitely_ for the beginner. If you've gotten ASE for a fe w years, EP is moie appro.priate. Excellent for junior and senior high school teaching. Well laidout and eminently readable. Solar Energy S.olar-Energy Tecbnology: State of the Art Annotated Bibliogiipby by ti. Evelyn Sinha, B. McCish, tl"y l9ZS, 92 pgs., $18.00 from, Ocean Engineering Information Service P.O. Box 989 I.a Jolla, Ca.92O38 573 informative abstracts of world solar literature, selected on the strength of scientific and technical engineeiing in_ formation content essentii-l to adv"an_ cing further study. Intended as an inrer_ disciplinary guide; helpful to people who enjoy "do-ir-youiself', piojeits. Recommended for hieh school and college science librariEs, especially as an acquisitions guide. S^olar Heating Systems by Jonathan Sands, 1975, 46 pgs., from, Kalwall Corp. 1111 Candia Road Box 237 Manchester, N.H.03105 From basic solar facts to illustrated solar water heaters, a straight-forward pnmer. page 13 "The Sun Can Heat Our Homes-Even in the North," by Richard A.

Includes both pacific Northwest solar homes and therefore should help end our "soiar inferiority" complex. Ler's fill that map with dots until it's blacki Furure supplem.nts are planned. Solar Heated Buildings: A Brief Suraey, June 1975, 110 pages, $8.00 posrpaid-- trom: William A. Shureliff 19 Appleton St. Cambridge, Mass.02l38 9th edition contains data, drawings on over 135 buildings. Incomparable. Now a directory or compendium since Bill is eager to hear about buildings he can include. As an obvious information node, if Bill had access ro toll-free gO0, Watts or Scan phone lines, he would encourage the National plan for Solar Heating & Cooling more rhan 2O government grants, and more cheaply. Is there anyone in ERDA, REA, I'SES or SEIA who understands such a nonredundant, common sense idea? We need regional solar energy info centers, not these national boondoggles in one state. After all, as with agriculture extension services (land-grant colleges) solar energy is in direct relation to site specifi c fac-" tors such as climate and latitude.
