Reviews
In concise, straightforward prose, DeCristofano introduces young readers to solar power: where it comes from and how it is harnessed, converted into energy, and used. In an even-handed discussion, she covers the environmental advantages of solar power over more traditional methods of producing electricity as well as some drawbacks (and possible solutions) to the use of solar power. Well-placed questions such as 'What happens when it rains? Or when clouds block the Sun?' ask readers and listeners to become actively involved in the narrative., "A necessary, engaging book that shines a light on solar energy." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A timely, informative addition to the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series." -- Booklist "In concise, straightforward prose, DeCristofano introduces young readers to solar power: where it comes from and how it is harnessed, converted into energy, and used.

Synopsis
The sun is a source of energy for living things. Energy that comes from sunshine is called solar energy. But how does solar energy work And how can we use solar energy to not only stay on the cutting-edge of technology, but to help keep the environment healthy Read and find out about solar roads that light up when there's danger ahead, like a moose on the road-and did you know that someday tiny solar chips placed in someone's eyes could help a blind person see Learn all this and more! Running on Sunshine comes packed with visual aids like charts, sidebars, an infographic, and a hands-on activity-how to direct sunlight using mirrors! Both the text and the artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. Bart Bartlett, Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan.

    Got the TV series combat, season 2 volume one from the seller and they shipped it out fast and well wrapped up for the journey. It arrived earlier than listed and in the condition they listed it as being. This is not a series easy to find out side of complete box set yet alone for the great price they sold it for. The seller showed great communication and I'd buy from them again without question. Good series and good seller.

    I was very surprised with the shipping. It felt like I ordered them one day and got them the next day. It came in a plain bubble wrapped Amazon package. It was exactly as described, and it was a good value for the money. I hope to do business with these folks again.
