Wiring Simplified
by H.P. Richter and W.C. Schwan
226 pages 6 x 9 inches
011-001 $9.95
You intend to plan
and/or install your home's electrical wiring. If you want the finished job
to be practical, safe and receive a passing grade from the local electrical
inspector as well, consider this book. The fact that Wiring
Simplified is in its 39th edition is enough testimony to the value of
this book. Richter and Schwan
discuss the "how to aspects" of all kinds of wiring problems.
Better yet, the reasons why things are done a certain way are explained.
This is a readable, organized, well-illustrated, very popular textbook among
electrician types.
The Maine Solar Primer
A Compilation from the Maine Sun
Edited by Dr. Richard Komp
24 pages 8 x 10 inches
012-005 $5
This is an information packed booklet that describes the basics of solar energy gathering using mostly sketches and diagrams. Starting with passive solar heating, it works its way through solar home designs, solar air heaters, solar food dryers, solar cookers, solar water heaters and finally photovoltaics. Quite a bit for a 24 page booklet! The information and designs are based on Maine's solar situation. The basics are so well described, however, that The Maine Solar Primer is a solar primer for all.
