Brittan, Jr 520 $aPublisher's description: More than ever, travelers are encountering a different sort of landscape, one not only of nature but of technology. Wind Power in View is the first authoritative discourse on the aesthetic impact of wind turbines on the landscape and what can be done about it. It is a detailed and thoroughly illustrated discussion of the issue from several different perspectives. The book also provides an overview of the status of wind energy at the dawn of the new millennium, examines some of the ongoing battles, and offers guidelines on minimizing its visual impact. Taking examples from the United States, Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, and Sweden, Wind Power in View is the first book to tackle the thorny land use questions raised by wind energy's hard won respectability. What will be the future of wind energy? Will it be welcomed as savior, or will it be opposed as a new-age intrusion on open space and landscape preservation? These 11 essays, international in nature and written by objective experts, address landscape issues in creative, original ways 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aWind power 650 0$aLandscape design 650 0$aLandscape architecture 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aPasqualetti, Martin J.,$d1945- 700 1 $aGipe, Paul. 700 1 $aRighter, Robert W. 776 1 $cOriginal$z0125463340$z9780125463348$w(DLC) 2001096353$w(OCoLC)49222034 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780125463348$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els031/2001096353.html 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els031/2001096353.html 907 $a.b13649978$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003215259707536 996 $aWind power in view$91213451 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gcau$h0$i0
