This book is extremely well written. I am a scientist and wanted to learn about Fuel Cells and chose this book. It gives you everything you need to know starting with an assumption that you dont knoe anything! i.e. starts from basics and brings you up to speed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Fuel Cells. The level of minimum education required to comprehend this book is around sophomore-junior. Enjoy learning fuel cells!

When I read this book, I read it to find out and explore this new idea of fuel cells. I was amazed by how it told me all of its benfits and how much more efficient the fuel cell powered cars truly are, and how much more environmentally friendly they are. This book explained the enitre concept of fuel cells to me, without confusing me. It explained every new term and if there is anyone who is interested in fuel cells, tis is definitely the book to read!

Fuel cells is a very difficult topic to write about because of the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. I am using the book to learn about Fuel Cells myself and my feelings are mixed. While this book is an excellent starting point, there are some over simplifications and errors. As a Mechanical engineer, some descriptions in the text made me cringe. Watch out for errors in some equations.
Excellent resource for someone with a technical background and general interest in fuel cells. For more serious users, recommend using in conjunction with maybe the DOE fuel cell handbook available from NETL or from OSTI.GOV
