Boiling Point
Front cover of Boiling Point issue 57
Issue 57 (2009) Household Dynamics


[top] [end]Welcome to the Boiling Point Home page

Boiling Point is a practitioner’s journal for those working with household energy and stoves. It deals with technical, social, financial and environmental issues and aims to improve the quality of life for poor communities living in the developing world. Articles are contributed by readers and the journal is a forum for the sharing of information and experiences on household energy. Boiling Point reaches over two thousand addresses and has probably five times that number of readers worldwide. Boiling Point was created in 1982 by Practical Action who published the first 52 issues. Back issues are available here .

[top] [end]Boiling Point 58: Call for papers

Deadline: 22nd February 2010

Boiling Point 58 will focus on the marketing of household energy technologies and practices. The issue will include social marketing (eg. marketing aimed at a social good such as health and indoor air pollution) as well as marketing in more commercial settings. To be effective even non-profit-making organisations need to think carefully about how their products or practices are being marketed and analysis of target markets, product-market grids, ‘customer’ perceptions, and positioning. This issue will be looking at experiences with marketing and how our efforts can be made more effective.

[top] [end]Congratulations to the winner of BP57 cover competition!

Congratulations to Trisha Marlow for winning our photo competition for the cover of this issue of Boiling Point.

The photograph was taken as Trisha ascended the Ourika Valley in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. There was frost in the air and snow on the peaks. The woman was resting on her way home with a load of firewood, a route she had taken many many times before. The route was a busy one as the day drew on: women struggling on with fuel.

The photo will reach over 5000 addresses worldwide (48% Africa, 29% Asia) and will be distributed through our website.
