From the caption to this pic taken by Mike Lee and posted by him to his flickr:
"At age 14, a boy in Malawi named William Kamkwamba used two books to learn how to build a windmill from scrap parts to generate electricity. This was just after dropping out of school due to famine. Here are photos of my used copies of the books Using Energy and Explaining Physics that William found in the USAID library in his village. Now at age 22, he is touring the world to promote his bestselling book, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind."
