This book is the size of a passport and contains all of the most necessary information that you need to know to do business in wind energy. Consider it a crib sheet. Each page is packed (the type is small) with graphs, maps, charts, equations, and thumbnail descriptions of key concepts. The book covers the full range of wind turbine technology and applications, so it is useful when dealing with older machinery or emerging markets, such as offshore wind. The book also defines common wind energy terminology and acronyms.

Sections include:

* Global Development of Wind Energy
* Wind Resources
* Wind Turbines
* Wind Turbines and Energy Systems
