Books by Colleen Spiegel
In 2007, with 7 years engineering experience, Colleen had her first book, "Designing and Building Fuel Cells” published by McGraw-Hill. Since her first book, she has had several other books and studies published, and is now an established author. Her books have been highly commended by many well-respected professionals. The following comments are what a few people have had to say about her books:
“It is well organized and would make a good text book and general reference book.” -- Elango, Ceramatec
Thanks for the copy of your excellent text book. I will put it to good use.”
-- Robert, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
And From Amazon.com:
“I have been designing, building, and writing about fuel cells for a number of years. During this time I have not seen one text that is as comprehensive and at the same time contain the wealth of detail as "Designing And Building Fuel Cells". This book will easily satisfy the needs of Engineers, Teachers, and Students. This book is easy to read, practical and I believe one of the best available texts on fuel cells and fuel cell systems.” -- Phil Hurley, Good Idea Creative
"It is an amazing book that covers all subjects related to fuel cells in an understandable manner. It is the best book to be used as textbook in a fuel cell course. It is really the unique book that truthfully has the necessary amount of information to build a PEMFC.” -- Jose Souza, Electrochemistry teacher
