This is still at an early stage, of course, but it shows promise that remotely operated heat pumps could be part of a consumer-friendly, bill-saving service.

When I wrote my popsci book The Laughing Baby I avoided both footnotes and endnotes (and parentheses). Asides aren't necessary and mostly serve authors' desire to show off their working. All you need are Harvard style citations ([page], Author, Year).

I think most books don't need endnotes or footnotes. Usually they serve the author far more than the reader. When I wrote The Laughing Baby I avoided both. It was hard work but made a better book.
