The Return of the Solar Cat Book: Mixing Cat Wisdom with Science and Solar Politics

by Jim Augustyn, Hildy Paige Burns (Illustrator)

With over 50,000 in print, "The Solar Cat Book decisively answered that question. First released in 1979 when the first oil shocks of that decade sparked great public interest in solar energy, it captured the heart and spirit of the renewable energy and environmental movements as have few other books before or since. Now, after a long nap, it has returned because people, unlike cats, can sometimes forget and lose their way. This new edition contains most of the original illustrations and text along with a good deal of new material reflecting recent progress in solar energy. Its blend of playful illustrations, gentle instruction and clever insight into the world of energy and human nature remains true to the original.

Another fun coffee-table book. My favorite scene is the cat thinks - hmm, I'm cold, I'm going to go stand in the sun - ahh, I'm warm. We humans make it so much more complicated...

Dont bother, maybe the first book was better but this one seems to be flogging a stretched feline too far
