Atomic Rod's Eclectic Energy Reading List

ByRod Adams

Over the years I have gathered a rather eclectic library of books and articles on energy issues and technologies. I have posted a PDF of my book list as of May 2009. The article list is far longer and needs some formatting and updating before posting. My intent is to periodically update the list and perhaps even to annotate it with suggestions and commentary.

One reason for posting this is to provide an opportunity for you to make some suggestions. If you happen to have old energy books that are cluttering your personal library and want to make a donation, please contact me so we can make mutually agreeable arrangements.
