'76 Consumer Conference on Solar Energy Development, free price list from, N.M. Solar Energy Assoc. Box 2OO4 Santa Fe, NM 87501 27 papers, priced from 12d to $1.32, given by some of the nation's leading lights in solar energy' Anderson, Baer, Balcomb, Bliss, Bridgers, Cook, Halacy, Hay and Yellott. Also available for $1 are the Complete Proceedings of tbe NMSEA Sbort Course on Solar Energlt. NMSEA also answers solar questions and has an excellent newsletter. Pbotouoltaics, Paper No. 2, by Pietro Widmer, March 1977, 12 pp., SOd postpaid from: Solar Energy Sociery of Canada British Columbia Chapter 1271 Howe St. Vancouver, BC V6Z lR3 CANADA A good clear intro and useful technical companion to David Morris' "The Dawning of Solar Cells" (92 from Inst. for Local Self-Reliance, 1717-18th St., N.W., Washington, DC 20009). Very well illustrated. See also pp. 22-23, June'76 RAIN. (Courtesy Chris Mattock) Solar Energy Intelligence Report, ed. by Allan L. Frank, 8 pp. weekly, $90/ yr. from: s.E.r.R. Box lO67 Silver Spring, MD 20910 Best coverage of Washington, DC, solar legislative scene and renewable energy activities, contracts, reports of federal agencies (ERDA, FEA, NASA, HUD, DoD, HEW, etc.), this former bi-weekly costing $3.46 per issue now costs $1.73 ueekly for the same price. Still expensive but now worth it, usually including solar business and technology news, new publications and a very comprehensive calendar. Recommended for state energy offices, city energy planners and other policymakers. Architects, engineers and contractors should stick with Solar Utilization Neos ( g8 individual, $ 1 5 institutional, from Alternate Energy Institute, Box 3100, Estes park, CO 80517), which is still the best bargain in national solar stuff and bound to become even more on top of solar news with the location of the Solar Energy Research Institute in Golden, Colorado -nicely named town for solar R&D, dontcha think? Solar Energj/, ed. by H. Messel and S.T. Butler, 197 5, 34O pp., available from, Pergamon Press, Inc. Maxwell House, Fairview Park Elmsford, NY 10523 Interesting collection of lecture-papers by long-time Australian solar researchers, useful mainly for getting a southern hemisphere perspective on how solar energy fits into the energy crisis.
