"Good Text"

Verified Purchase, July 2008

"On the whole, this is an excellent text, but I was a bit put off by some of the opening discussions on the 'Hydrogen Economy.' While well-written, it felt like an opinion piece rather than a technical introduction."

"A must-read for anyone interested in fuel cell technology!"

Verified Purchase, July 2007

"Dr. Spiegel has created a clear and engaging resource for those looking to understand the fuel cell industry. The mix of theory and practical advice is unmatched."
