John Perlin Lecture!

Many believe that solar energy is a twentieth-century phenomenon. What a surprise to discover that six thousand years ago the stone-age Chinese built their homes so every one of them made maximum use of the sun’s energy in winter. So begins the story of the genesis of solar energy told by John Perlin in 6000 Years of Solar Energy, the world’s first and only comprehensive history of humanity’s use of the sun for its betterment. Join us on Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 6:30pm in 26 Hosler Building for this lecture!
