"Anyone wanting a broad overview about…the electric power grid in the United States will find this book very easy to read and will come away with a good general understanding..." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, January/February 2005)

"…a good book for nonelectrical engineers and electric power engineers alike as it provides a good summary of where we have been and how we got to where we are today-all in one brief reading." (IEEE Power & Energy Magazine, July/Aug 2004)

"Understanding Electric Power Systems is recommended for engineers, policymakers and students alike and can be a useful addition in the academic libraries for young researchers in electrical engineering.” (E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 5)

"In consistently clear and simple language, without strident arguments or unrealistic projections, these authors have put together a thorough explanation (arguably the best one in print) of what the electric power supply industry is...and its relationship to the worlds of law, politics, and finance."
