'This quaint booklet would be of value to anyone after a high level understanding of wind energy, but with enough technical content for students of wind, renewable energy enthusiasts, or those in theWindustry taking on board a little more technical acumen. Just like a backpacker needs to pull out a phrasebook, you might carry this in
yourHard Yakka or pressed business shirt for those vital moments... or just read it cover to cover and impress friends with your knowledge on one of the worlds fastest growing energy sources.'
