[Gerald Kinro]

Very entertaining as well as informative. Ewing uses fictional techniques to explain the potential of hydrogen as a fuel source. He goes as a visitor to a farm owned by an eccentric, but down to earth, genius. It is this farmer who explains the wonders of science in simple, understandable language. Illustrations serve well to supplement the text.

Clever - uses stories and imagination to easily explain how hydrogen works. Then, includes chapters with more detailed explanations and tons of internet resources. The most easily understood and fun science book I've read.
