Books Reviews by Paul Gipe
I have an extensive library on wind energy and energy policy. A number of these books I’ve reviewed over the years. Not all are in English, my native language. Nonetheless, I’ve reviewed some books in German, French, and Danish because I think it’s important to hear what these authors have to say about wind development in their countries.

Wind Power: the True Story (Review of Paul Gipe’s Wind Energy for the Rest of Us)
By
Ugo Bardi
They say that a good book should always tell a story. And this is true for this book by Paul Gipe. Titled “Wind Energy for the Rest of Us” is not just about the technology, but it tells the whole story of the development of the field, starting with the first windmills, all the way to the modern, high-power towers. And it is a book of excellent graphic and textual quality. Something that’s becoming rare in a time when publishers provide less and less editorial services. Highly suggested if you want to learn about wind energy.
