 unequivocally disappointing June 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This text provides an exceptionally low level of information on a rather diverse and exciting field. I realize that I am probably not the target audience of this work, but it really could have stood to add some information digestible above the 8th-grade reading level. Secondarily, it reads like a product catalog for [...] with poorly written "projects" attached to the product descriptions.
I realize that a two star rating on Amazon.com is a rather scathing appraisal, but I feel it is appropriate in this case. I understand that this is a recently released book, indeed my copy is a first edition. Even considering that, this book should have never made it into print in its current condition. Typos and blatant errors infest the entire work. Captions are attached to the wrong pictures, pictures have text cut off of them, in fact entire paragraphs repeat the same information contained in the previous paragraph. Frankly it speaks to me of markedly poor copy editing (or in my opinion, no editing whatsoever) and provides a fine example of the failure of companies like McGraw-Hill to continue their production of quality material.
 A very interesting and useful book for undergraduate school teachers and students June 19, 2008

The book shows the principles behind fuel cell devices using interesting experiments. It presents, for my surprise, a procedure to make a membrane electrode assembly using home avaliable equipaments. It has a rigorous scientific aproach about the theme (hydrogen and fuel cells) but using an understandable way to show it over the text. I really recommend this book for teachers to initiate their students into the fascinating world of fuel cells
