Complete Idiot's Guide to Hybrid & Alternative Fuel Vehicles

The world of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) is extremely complex and can at times be difficult to understand. If you are in the market for a new vehicle and would like to purchase a hybrid or an AFV, doing your homework can become seemingly overwhelming in a short amount of time…but there is hope! Jack Nerad, executive editorial director of Kelley Blue Book's Web site www.kbb.com, has recently completed a new book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hybrid & Alternative Fuel Vehicles.

Keeping with the theme of previous Complete Idiot's Guides to…books, Nerad's is a reference that works to provide basic understanding of highly-technical and complex topics. The book presents its reader with basic terminology to describe and explain the many different facets of the alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicle world.

Nerad admits that although the guide strives to cover all areas of the alternative fuel vehicle domain, the topic is enormous and much debate still exists concerning the best options.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to…series of books is published by Alpha, a member of Penguin Group USA, Inc. Look for The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hybrid and Alternative Fuel Vehicles at your local bookstore or online.
