Thank you very much. I may buy the second book (it is the newer one) and i
ll tell you then.
My experience is the same about the biofuel list and JTF. It 's been only 1
month and i am getting more info (reliable and immediate) than i can handle.
Thank you all
Regards
Stelios

Hi Stelios
Good day everbody,
I found these books with a simple search. Does anyone knows if books
below are worth buying?
Regards,
Stelios

Oil as an Alternative Fuel
by Joshua Tickell, Kaia Roman, Kaia Tickell

Academics, US-centric. Knothe is a good man, works for the Agricultural
Reearch Service, lots of good work on biodiesel. There are some papers by
him referenced at Journey to Forever and included in the JtF online
Biofuels library. Van Gerpen is the prof at Iowa, in charge of their
biodiesel activities, quite good online stuff and courses (for
"professionals", ho-hum - not cheap). Also reffed at JtF, but some of his
work has had a poor reception from other professionals.
This book will probably have good basic information for professionals,
consultants, would-be investors, the industry-level in the US, less so for
individuals, local-niche projects, local coops etc. If you think biodiesel
can and should *change* things, you're probably better off here.
3)Recent Developments in the Synthesis of Fatty Acid Derivatives
by Gerhard Knothe, Johannes T. P. Derksen
Hardcover: 250 pages
Publisher: AOCS Press (September 1, 1999)
ISBN: 1893997006
Don't know this one - for research scientists, not much about biodiesel.
It's widely acknowledged that the best information on biodiesel is on the
Internet. The Biofuel list, the Biofuel list archives, and the Biofuel
section at Journey to Forever are the premier resources.
Best wishes
Keith
