Cover ; Half Title ; Title Page ; Copyright Page ; Dedication ; A Tribute to the Glory of the Sun ; Table of Contents ; About the Author ; Preface ; Acknowledgements ; Prologue : A Vision of the Future from the 1970s ; Prologue: From the Triumph of the Iron to the Triumph of the Sun ; Part 1 : The Sun and Us ; 1. The Legacy of the Sun ; 1.1 Man in the Universe ; 1.2 A Heaven of Stars, One Sun ; 1.3 The Way the Sun Produces Its Energy ; 1.4 The Sun, Earth, and Us ; 1.4.1 Children of the Sun and Earth ; 1.4.2 The Birth of Earth ; 1.4.3 Asteroids and Comets ; 1.4.4 Earth, Ready for Life ; 1.4.5 The Last Ice Age.

"With the turn of the century in 2000, the world started to turn its back on the wrong-headed developments of the past that resulted in global pollution and the misery it entails, a climate getting out of control, the threat of a nuclear war, and all that resulted from the unsustainable use of fossil and atomic resources. We have now resolutely engaged ourselves again on the path to a life in harmony with nature, with the Sun. Not only the climate but everyone is a winner going with the Sun and its benefits. Thanks to innovation and mass production, the power derived from the Sun now beats the conventional energy sector with its own strength: socio-economy. Solar energy has become cheaper than the conventional resources. The result is a booming economy that is sustainable, with millions of new jobs. Authored by Wolfgang Palz, an independent expert on energy matters and the economy, this book presents his views on a solar revolution to which he contributed."--Provided by publisher.
