Buy Wind Turbine Technology by Spera, David A., Spera, David A. (ISBN: 9780791812051) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: I have been working as a wind analyst for over 10 years, first in the UK and latterly in the US. This book was one of the first books that I was introduced to when I joined the industry back in the mid-1990's. The wind industry has come a long way since then, but David Spera's book still occupies a special place on my bookshelf simply because it has yet to be superceded. What makes it such a useful book is that, as well as the breadth of its scope, it also has a real depth of coverage of all aspects of wind power. One of its great strengths is that each chapter is written by an expert in their particular field. Whilst this is not an uncommon practice in technical books, David Spera has managed to edit Wind Turbine Technology so well that the book had a real coherence and unified style. It reads more like a book written by a single author. As well as being a wonderful primary source on wind technology I also still find myself reading and re-reading the opening chapters on the history of the development of wind power through the centuries with great enjoyment. An excellent resource for both the beginner and the expert. Dr Chris Ziesler - Shell Wind Energy Review: This is a well selected compilation of chapters written by pioneers in the wind energy industry. The section written by Glidden Doman describes a flexible two-bladed rotor design with yaw power control that is of particular interest.
