• Introduction. Part I: Wind Energy’s Potential Assessment in Selected Locations. Part II: Social, Economic, and Environmental Issues. Part III: Trends and Future Challenges.

"…a collection of already published articles, in their exact forms, collected by Adaramola (renewable energy, Norwegian Univ. of Life Sciences). The book is organized into three parts, each consisting of several articles. Part 1 covers wind energy resources in selected regions of the world (four articles). Part 2 is titled "Social, Economic, and Environmental Impacts" (seven articles), and part 3 ("Trends and Future Challenges") consists of two articles. Each of the collected articles is interesting and the editor has done a good job selecting relevant and important papers in the field..."—CHOICE, January 2016
