Geothermal energy projects : planning and management

Published in cooperation with the East-West Center, HawaiiFor more about the East-West Center, see http://www.eastwestcenter.org/This book, the first collection of case histories of geothermal projects to be described from conception to operation within an integrated framework, creates an information base from which policy makers and project managers may draw. The projects described represent the historic foundations of what may prove to be, in the next century, a major rather than an 'alternative' energy source for mankind.1.
