Blow, wind, blow! The newest addition to the nonfiction Eureka! series is a “biography” of wind power, which is green energy that can help the planet.

People have harnessed the power of the wind for thousands of years, to travel by sailboat, to cool homes, to grind grain into flour, and even to make music. But when someone hooked a wind mill to a generator, wind went electric, unlocking the secret to a clean, renewable energy source! Wind Power is an entertaining and informative look at the development of an idea with huge benefits for a greener future. This STEAM nonfiction title is part of the Eureka! series, with each book focusing on one groundbreaking, world-changing discovery that millions of people use every single day.

Series Overview: Eureka!—it’s a new young science history series by Kane Press! Each book in the Eureka! series covers one groundbreaking, world-changing discovery from the first germ of an idea through the evolution into a modern product millions of people use every single day. Glasses, bicycles, cameras, the light bulb, wind power, guitars—for any kid who has ever wondered how they work and who invented them, Eureka! explains it all.
