The wind is a fickle source of power; with speeds frequently too low to be of sustained practical use, windpower has generally remained a marginal resource. Since the inception of windpower around AD 1000, technology has been deployed to obtain the most economical power possible form wind.

This is the first general treatment of windpower in English, covering the unpredictable nature of wind and focusing on the technical evolution and industrial application of windpower. The book also focuses on the re-emergence of windpower in recent years as a viable source of power in the wake of the energy crisis.
