50 Green Projects for the Evil Genius 1st Edition

This book does have some good ideas in it.

Good Read

These books have strayed so far from what they used to be they are a joke. Buy a kid's science project book instead.

This book has a lot of experiments you can try to see how different green concepts work and some theory behind them. It really seemed more like a primer on getting your head around some ideas rather than building useful everyday green solutions.For example, there are numerous examples on how to generate electricity but little in the way of how to store that energy or feed it back into the power grid, etc.

Heard about this book, had to have it

I recently read this book and can recommend it wholeheartedly as a great broad-based introduction for anyone interested in getting started on making their lives more sustainable. Some of the projects are quite easy, others are more complex, but there is something for everyone here. Perhaps best of all adults will find lots of rainy-day projects that can be done with their kids, just watch out because you will probably discover that your kids are far ahead of you in understanding the need to make human habitation of this planet last longer.Overall the book is well written and easy to follow with a wealth of photographs. Even if you don't actually do any of the projects, just reading the book will expose you to a new philosophy of living, one that not only reduces waste, but will start you asking, "Instead of throwing that out, what can we make of it?"It is all contemplative food for thought, in a straightforward "how-to" book that is a call to think and then act!

Can't recommend this book. It is certainly not like the other books in the E.G. line. The projects aren't written up very well and most of them just refer you to this website or that. There is even a project on turning out the lights... sigh.

Eh, what can I say. ALL of these projects can be searched on YOUTUBE; this is more a novelty-gift item. Publisher really didnt put alot of $ into the printing, i.e....photos and illustrations appear to have been shot with a Polaroid in some eastern-block country around 1965... ( I jest of course ) Neat book perhaps for someone's grandpa who doesn't have access to Youtube. The title got me to buy it.
