Synopsis Most of the Indian people cannot afford the cost of commercial energy and have to often trudge large distances to collect scraps of firewood for cooking. Fortunately, India is a country blessed with good sunshine and for these people, the solar cooker would be a God-send. The excessive use of fossil fuels, their depletion at an alarming rate and the gases emitted thereby are largely responsible for global warming which will cause widespread devastation to life on earth if left unchecked. These concerns have set in motion a search for non-polluting sources of energy and one of these is the indirect and direct energy of the sun. This book is an account of this fascinating story.
