Simon Watson – författare

This anthology takes us beyond the status of masculinity itself, questioning society's and the media's normative concepts of the masculine, and considering the extent to which men and women can transcend these stereotypes and prescriptions.

A master in the art of interiors photography invites readers on an immersive global journey of extraordinary rooms and architecture from the Renaissance to the present day.In this compelling follow-up to his celebrated 2020 volume, renowned photographer Simon Watson returns to his archive to reveal a new collection of visual treasures. The range of locations is both sweeping and evocative. From the vibrant textures of Egypt, India, Morocco, and Tunisia to the refined elegance of Denmark, France, Italy, and Spain, Watson’s lens captures the intimate character of private residences as well as the grandeur of culturally significant architectural sites. His selection includes such atmospheric spaces as Grundtvig’s Church, a masterwork of Danish Brick Expressionism; the imposing Futurist-style post office in Palermo; India’s opulent Lakshmi Vilas Palace; and the ornate architecture and haunting beauty of Cairo’s City of the Dead.Complementing these international interiors are privileged glimpses into the studios and homes of influential artists, revealing environments that have shaped their creative worlds. For each project, Watson offers thoughtful written reflections. His descriptions blend anecdotal storytelling with incisive observations on architectural form and interior design.With a career now spanning thirty-five years, Watson has earned his reputation as one of today’s most revered interiors photographers. This new volume stands as both a global design odyssey and an elegant retrospective of his work, offering readers a rare combination of visual poetry, cultural insight, and personal narrative.

HANDBOOK OF WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENTUseful reference text underpinning the theory behind wind resource assessment along with its practical applicationHandbook of Wind Resource Assessment provides a comprehensive description of the background theory, methods, models, applications, and analysis of the discipline of wind resource assessment, covering topics such as climate variability, measurement, wind distributions, numerical modeling, statistical modeling, reanalysis datasets, applications in different environments (onshore and offshore), wind atlases, and future climate.The text provides an up-to-date assessment of the tools available for wind resource assessment and their application in different environments. It also summarizes our present understanding of the wind climate and its variability, with a particular focus on its relevance to wind resource assessment.Written by a highly qualified professional in the fields of wind resource assessment, wind turbine condition monitoring, and wind turbine wake modeling, sample topics included in Handbook of Wind Resource Assessment are as follows: Climate variability, covering temporal scales of variation, power spectrum, short term variation and turbulence, the spectral gap, and long-term variationMeasurement, covering history of wind speed measurement, types of measurement, terrestrial measurements, anemometers, wind vanes, lidars, sodars and remote sensingDistributions, covering synoptic scale wind distributions, turbulent scale distributions, contrast between mean and extreme values, and extreme value statisticsPhysical modeling, covering spatial scales of variability, the governing equations, models of varying complexity, mass consistent models, linearized models and semi-empirical modelsStatistical modeling, covering the use of measure-correlate-predict (MCP), wind indices and spatial interpolationHandbook of Wind Resource Assessment serves as a comprehensive text that brings together the different aspects of wind resource assessment in one place. It is an essential resource for anyone who wishes to understand the underlying science, models, or applications of wind resources, including postgraduates, academics, and wind resource professionals.
