Named as one of Choice''s Outstanding Academic Titles of 2012 Every year, Choice subject editors recognise the most significant print and electronic works reviewed in Choice during the previous calendar year. Appearing annually in Choice''s January issue, this prestigious list of publications reflects the best in scholarly titles and attracts extraordinary attention from the academic library community.The authoritative reference on wind energy, now fully revised and updated to include offshore wind power
A decade on from its first release, the Wind Energy Handbook, Second Edition, reflects the advances in technology underpinning the continued expansion of the global wind power sector. Harnessing their collective industrial and academic expertise, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to wind turbine design and wind farm planning for onshore and offshore wind-powered electricity generation.
The major change since the first edition is the addition of a new chapter on offshore wind turbines and offshore wind farm development. Opening with a survey of the present state of offshore wind farm development, the chapter goes on to consider resource assessment and array losses. Then wave loading on support structures is examined in depth, including wind and wave load combinations and descriptions of applicable wave theories. After sections covering optimum machine size and offshore turbine reliability, the different types of support structure deployed to date are described in turn, with emphasis on monopiles, including fatigue analysis in the frequency domain. Final sections examine the assessment of environmental impacts and the design of the power collection and transmission cable network.
New coverage features:
turbulence models updated to reflect the latest design standards, including an introduction to the Mann turbulence model extended treatment of horizontal axis wind turbines aerodynamics, now including a survey of wind turbine aerofoils, dynamic stall and computational fluid dynamics developments in turbine design codes techniques for extrapolating extreme loads from simulation results an introduction to the NREL cost model comparison of options for variable speed operation in-depth treatment of individual blade pitch control grid code requirements and the principles governing the connection of large wind farms to transmission networks four pages of full-colour pictures that illustrate blade manufacture, turbine construction and offshore support structure installationFirmly established as an essential reference, Wind Energy Handbook, Second Edition will prove a real asset to engineers, turbine designers and wind energy consultants both in industry and research. Advanced engineering students and new entrants to the wind energy sector will also find it an invaluable resource.

In the Adirondacks, a grandfather is killed while deer hunting.On New York City’s East Side, two boys are kidnapped and a retired doctor is gunned down in the getaway.In midtown Manhattan, a former governor is abducted and viciously butchered, his throat slit.The killing has just begun…The crimes seem unrelated until maverick newspaper reporter Todd Paige, on a hot tip from ambitious NYPD lieutenant Sarah vanAllen, follows the trails of blood to a sleepy hamlet far upstate. For there, buried deep in the Adirondacks, lies the secret of the Wilderness, a hospital for the criminally insane; a place of corruption, abuse, and horrifying evil—evil in the guise of a heinous gang now loose and determined to wreck bloody vengeance for sins long past. And no one can stop them. 287 kr

Offering the most detailed coverage yet of the many paths that crisscross the Cape Peninsula, this book describes 69 tracks that traverse Table Mountain, the rocky headlands of Cape Point, and the ridges, beaches, forests and coastal villages that make up Cape Town’s hiking paradise. Best of all, there’s a chapter presenting 33 of the Mother City’s most convivial watering holes – rated according to atmosphere, value, quality of food and views – where weary hikers can wet their whistles after having worked up a sweat. Each trail entry features a concise route summary, contour map and GPS coordinates for the start and end points, as well as vital information outlining distance, duration, difficulty, exposure and gradient. Safety advice and tips on hiking gear and what to pack are also included. Colour photographs and fact panels on local flora, fauna, geology and history add lively interest.This practical guide, written by veteran hiker Tony Burton, is a must-have for novice and experienced hikers, whether tipplers or teetotallers.An avid and experienced hiker, and leader for The Trails Club of South Africa for the last 15 years, Tony Burton has hiked nearly every weekend for the past 30 years, completing well over 1 000 different hikes and leading at least 250 excursions. He resides in Cape Town.
