Let It Shine: The 6,000-Year Story of Solar Energy

Features a new preface by the author, detailing the explosive growth of solar since the publication of the cloth edition of Let It Shine in 2013: the price of solar PV modules has dropped by 90 percent since 2010 and installation has grown exponentially. Solar panels are now the cheapest energy source in history.

Features a new foreword by Stanford professor Mark Z. Jacobson, a pioneer in developing roadmaps to transition states and countries to 100% clean, renewable energy.

The author’s 1986 book A Forest Journey: The Story of Trees and Civilization is also being revised and expanded with an Earth Day 2022 release from Patagonia Books.

With six new chapters and many updated chapters, this revised and expanded edition fills in thirty years of solar advancements since the first edition (titled The Golden Thread) was published in 1980.
