Focusing primarily on the European and North American markets with additional reviews from Asia, this book enables readers to gain a practical overview and understanding of modern wind energy, supported by in-depth case studies throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated with maps, satellite images, drawings, and photographs taken on the ground or via kite aerial photography, this book disproves many myths about wind energy--such as by demonstrating that wind farms may exist in rural land or offshore settings with minimal impacts--and promotes the radical-middle approach for integrated and evolving energy resources in which wind power has come to play a prominent role. The authors suggest that wind power in global energy development should be given prominent treatment, particularly for renewable, non-polluting energy sources. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWind Energy Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e discusses topics including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHistory of wind energy electricity generation through the late 19th and 20th centuries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental and aesthetic issues, including impacts on wildlife such as birds and bats as well as visibility and turbine noise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePublic policy for wind energy, covering subsidies, financial and import-export incentives, feed-in tariffs, local-content requirements, and R\u0026amp;D investments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnergy production and consumption of wind energy in comparison to nuclear energy, solar energy, and hydro and tidal energy, as well as fossil fuels including coal, oil, and natural gases\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBridging the gap between advanced engineering and popular books, \u003ci\u003eWind Energy Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference on the subject for students in introductory courses on electrical, mechanical, and aerodynamic engineering, engineers working with renewable and sustainable energy, and public policy makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames S.
