After learning about passive solar home design, and teaching workshops, attending events, promoting solar on Earth Day committees, she designed and built a passive solar straw bale house in Nebraska. Upon returning to El Paso in 1999 she became EPSEA's Project Manager for three bi-national and EPA grants to install solar water distillers in border colonias; she was first female EPSEA President in 2001. Today Sharon writes books and teaches others about the many practical aspects of solar energy. Review: Well written with caveats.. - Ms. Burdens draws on years of personal experience to share solar cooking with the novice. Her inclusive and genial style invites the tinker to build, cook and taste. The caveats are with hasty editing. The volume should be gone through again for syntax errors, incomplete sentences, and captions with missing illustrations. With streamlined text and improved photos and diagrams, I would heartily recommend this book. The author is an intelligent, gifted and friendly teacher.
