The city seen through the eyes of its artists
“This is a treasury of new ways of seeing” – Jeremy Paxman
“A dreamy, inspiring ode to the dreaming spires” - Helen Fielding
"Oxford may well be the most consciously beautiful city in Europe... It's a brilliant idea to let today's artists show us the grand sights"– John Simpson
ERNEUERBARE ENERGIEN
Ohne heisse Luft
Aimed specifically at Germany and Europe today, the authors were inspired by David Mackay’s approach in Sustainable energy without the hot air (2009). Though the laws of physics have remained the same, our knowledge of renewable energy sources has improved. From their experience of Energiewende and using clear, practical examples, they give us the facts so we can understand and contribute to the ongoing debate on renewable energy.
