I got this book and was blown away! I could hardly put it down. I work with an NSF Fuel Cell Research Experience for Undergraduates and am ordering a book for each participant to give them the needed scientific background AND the global context for the significance of fuel cells and related technologies. Rex Ewing is one of those rare and talented authors who can bridge the divide between science and literature and between scientist and layman. Yet the science it thorough, well researched, and not watered down. The world NEEDS more works like this that put technological concepts within reach of the everyone. To address the complex global environmental problems we are facing in the 21st century, it is important that we all take responsibility (not just scientists and policy makers) for educating ourselves to bring about solutions. Read this book for knowledge...and a fun journey too. Who says science has to be boring? Not Mr. Ewing, thank goodness. PHENOMENAL!!
Interesting and entertaining June 5, 2007

This book was received in good shape and fairly quickly, too. Thanks, we needed it fast!
The book was very informative and written in an interesting way.
An informed and in-depth study of hydrogen that can be easily grasped by the non-scientist with an interest in this subject April 10, 2006

Very written and directly accessible to the non-specialist general reader, Hydrogen: Hot Stuff, Cool Science by Rex A. Ewing offers an informed and in-depth study of hydrogen that can be easily grasped by the non-scientist with an interest in this subject. Hydrogen introduces the reader to the every aspect of the manifold uses of hydrogen, what the chemical really is, where hydrogen comes from, and how it works as a fuel. Ewing presents a remarkable reference for anybody without much scientific background with a true interest in hydrogen and all of the extensive and innovative uses for it. Also very highly recommended reading from Pixy Jack Press is Rex Ewing's "Got Sun? Go Solar: Get Free Renewable Energy To Power Your Grid-Tied Home (0965809870, $18.95) which he co-authored with Doug Pratt.
