The unusual setting for this adventure in learning is the Wasserstoff Farm, where a crafty wizard guides the reader through the science of hydrogen energy and fuel cells, and examines the cutting-edge technologies being developed to make the coming ?hydrogen economy? possible.

Clean, renewable sources of energy for making hydrogen, including wind and solar, are explored, along with more traditional sources, such as coal, natural gas, and nuclear power. Critical issues of storage and transportation, and the infrastructure needed to implement this new energy complete the overview of how we can move toward a hydrogen economy. Ewing also puts the concepts of global warming and America?s energy consumption into perspective, and takes time to illuminate the difference between H-bombs and the hydrogen-for-energy concept?not an uncommon question among non-scientists.

Author Rex Ewing says, ?When people in the hydrogen industry asked for a book that could be understood by the average consumer, I couldn?t resist the challenge of taking vast amounts of complex information and making it both readable and entertaining. I wanted to go beyond the typical political and economic rhetoric and explore the science, since it?s the real beauty behind hydrogen energy.?

HYDROGEN ? Hot Stuff Cool Science is debuting to great reviews, from high school students and teachers to PhD?s and supporters of hydrogen. Dennis Weaver, actor and Ecolonomist says, ?I was sure it was going to be a stodgy and tedious read. I discovered, to my delight, Rex Ewing has concocted a formula that made it not only educational and informative, but downright entertaining. It?s a winner!?
