"Wind power is today's most developed form of "green" energy on the planet. This comprehensive survey examines the history of wind power, from early people's technology to harness the wind for basic mechanical tasks (such as turning grain to flour) through today's "Wind Rush." The process of building a wind farm and the growth of offshore wind farms are included. Color imagery helps illuminate the text as well as inspire the imagination. An extensive list of resources will enable individuals, entrepreneurs, and advocates to tap into this free, natural, and clean source of energy."--P. [4] of cover.
