Solar Power Generation Problems, Solutions, and Monitoring by Dr. Peter Gevorkian have a title that tells it all. What this book does is something that everyone in that area of work needs to do: be creative and innovative from a multitude of dimensions, disciplines, and perspectives. Large and small solar systems today are being recognized as the solution to climate change, and they are also responsible for the creation of new companies and jobs at all levels.

To start with, Dr. Gevorkian and I share many things in common. We are both authors of numerous books, have published many papers, and have conducted extensive seminars and lectures in numerous institutions of higher learning in the United States and abroad. Both of us have multiple advanced graduate degrees, with the only difference being that Dr. Gevorkian's are more in the fields of sciences and engineering, whereas mine are in the social sciences. We both look at the same world, but from complementary perspectives.

Nonetheless, we see the solution to the world's problems in much the same way: through stopping climate change and providing smart, green, sustainable communities. The key here is that his book uses multi-scientific perspectives to examine problems using clear scientific approaches to resolve climate change. What I have done is similar, but using the social sciences, although one of my goals is to turn economics into a science much as this book does.

The use of science and, especially, its processes to solve problems is critical. And that is what Dr. Gevorkian's book does successfully. In my publications, in parallel, I have taken a scientific approach to economics through the use of physics and linguistics and have applied their insights to public policy, government, social media, and social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology, and psychology. I know that in the near future Dr. Gevorkian and I will collaborate to write a book that connects all these fields.

Consider some themes in Solar Power Generation Problems, Solutions, and Monitoring that highlight the scientific need for operational safety and reliability of large-scale solar systems. This entire area is critical; Dr. Gevorkian notes how rapidly solar technology has developed and expanded into a global multi-billion dollar industry.
