Book - Cold Fusion - Advances in Condensed Matter Nuclear Science-Elsevier (2020) on sale

Thanks for the link, that is certainly a very generous discount for the e-book version, I wonder why they are able to sell it at such low price.

Quote from Bertuswonkel

I have no idea why they are so cheap. It is a non-profit organization, maybe they get some subsidies or they are able to negotiate lower prices.

I do know that the prices of textbooks are way to high so i am glad they offer this service.

Not that i do not appreciate peoples work but i could spend a couple of 100 E per semester to get all the books i needed.

Sometime these were even written by the professor giving the course.

I suspect this is a very profitable business for some people.

I am not complaining, but we have many of this book's authors as members of the forum, and some of them might find this odd.

Anyway, can you tell us about your interest in LENR? What's your career? We always like to know who our members are and where are they coming from with regards to LENR.

Quote from Bertuswonkel

I know, I also found it odd but the site worked and i checked out some info i could find about the people behind it and they seemed legit.

However, they could also be just illegally selling the books, then the authors should definitely check it out.

I do wonder how much goes to the authors and much the publishing company gets, Elsevier does seem to make a lot of profits.

I have a Masters degree in sustainable development so that is why i am interested in LENR, seems it could fix many of the problems we face.

I really don’t know how good is the business but Elsevier as a group seems to be a big cash maker.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your background with us, we are from every venue of human activity, and is good to know that we all agree LENR can certainly be an answer to many of our most pressing problems.

Curbina maybe you show him the LENR book thread on LF

Thanks for the suggestion, however I think this thread was just to share the good offer for purchasing the book, the Useful Books thread already has information and a link about this book.

Welcome aboard! The crew here is a bit cantankerous at times, but the ship is on a mission that (we all hope) is actually succeeding.
