Reviews / Votes
"...all aspects have careful analysis developed from first principles and with excellent visual illustration. This applies to all subjects, be they mechanical, electrical, aerodynamical or meterological...the University teaching blends with the commerical experience. The result is a unified book, with chapters largely complementing each other in a structured whole...The reader can almost hear the lecturers teaching these subjects...an excellent text that is certainly essential for any wind power library."More details
