Description: Serving as a first text on wind energy for scientists and for more general but no less interested readers, this book provides an introductory work that combines interdisciplinary scope with a simple, lucid style.
Review Quotes: From the reviews: Wagner (Ruhr-Univ. Bochum, Germany) and Mathur present a concise, helpful work (80 pages) on the subject, with the main focus on the technical aspects. The work is aimed at public audiences and those who want a quick overview of wind energy systems. This is also a useful resource for engineering departments and for institutions where multidisciplinary research in the area of renewable energy is in process . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, two-year technical program students, and general audiences. (M. Alam, Choice, Vol. 47 (7), March, 2010)"
