Ariel Leve and Robin Morgans oral history 1963: The Year of the Revolution is the first book to recount the kinetic story of the twelve months that witnessed a demographic power shiftmdash;the rise of the Youth Quake movement; a cultural transformation through music; fashion; politics; and the arts. Leve and Morgan detail how; for the first time in history; youth became a commercial and cultural force with the power to command the attention of government and religion and shape society.While the Cold War began to thaw; the race into space heated up; feminism and civil rights percolated in politics; and JFKrsquo;s assassination shocked the world; the Beatles and Bob Dylan would emerge as poster boys and the prophet of a revolution that changed the world.1963: The Year of the Revolution records; documentary-style; the incredible roller-coaster ride of those twelve months; told through the recollections of some of the periodrsquo;s most influential figuresmdash;from Keith Richards to Mary Quant; Vidal Sassoon to Graham Nash; Alan Parker to Peter Frampton; Eric Clapton to Gay Talese; Stevie Nicks to Norma Kamali; and many more.

Modern Solar Design all in one placeBy JFKThis very practical and thorough book should be in the engineering reference library of every solar designer. Based on abundant experience and actual projects Walkers book sets itself aside from others; often by academics or hobbyists who do not need to create cost effective and durable systems; by covering the most common solar systems - solar electric; solar water and building heating and air preheating. The technical; economic; and practical design features of each system are covered in detail complete with comparisons of relevant computer design tools; named manufacturers; and case studies. Plentiful numerical examples illustrating key calculations; numerous illustrations and tables for reference complement the text; and rules of thumb enabling quick design at the conceptual design level are included for each solar system type. The author is a solar realist delineating caveats based on field experience and economic realities rather than being a solar idealist making overoptimistic claims ultimately harmful to the maturing of a durable and lasting solar future for the US. To summarize; the Walker book provides all of the information and techniques needed to design solar electrical and heating systems together with seasoned advice on specification and construction details. Very highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Only Solar Design Book You NeedBy Les R WallachAs an architect; well recognized for designing resource conserving projects; I highly recommend Dr. Walkers comprehensive solar energy book. The technical information is clearly presented and the writing; on what could be a very dry subject; is exceptionally well crafted and interspersed with interesting and educational anecdotes and interviews. By way of disclosure; our firm was privileged to have one of our projects included as a case study.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great guide to solar technologyBy Dylan BartusiakThis book is written great and walks you through everything you need to know to at some level design solar systems. It is easy to follow and is packed with tons of useful information. If you are contemplating getting this book or not for Andys Principles of Solar Energy Systems class I highly recommend it. Cant complain about the price for such a useful guide to solar energy.
