The official guide to the riverside path from its Gloucestershire
source all the way to the outskirts of London. With the London
Thames now covered by Aurum' s separate new guide, a companion
volume can concentrate on the appeal of the full 150 miles of the
country Thames, which winds all the way from its Gloucestershire
source near Cirencester to Hampton Court on the edge of the London
conurbation. This new edition has a wealth of new information about
the many sights and places of interest along the way, from
Wittenham Clumps that Paul Nash used to paint to Heston Blumenthal'
s Fat Duck restaurant at Bray, as well as full walking tours of
historic Oxford and Windsor & Eton. There are sections on
Stanley Spencer at Cookham, and Cliveden and the Cliveden Set, as
well as on handsome and interesting towns like Henley and Abingdon.
There is also a new section on the wildlife and natural history of
the Thames, and plenty of extra information on transport links to
and from individual sections.

calendar year. Appearing annually in "Choice"'s January issue, this
prestigious list of publications reflects the best in scholarly
titles and attracts extraordinary attention from the academic
library community.
The authoritative reference on wind energy, now fully revised
and updated to include offshore wind power
A decade on from its first release, the "Wind Energy Handbook,"
Second Edition, reflects the advances in technology underpinning
the continued expansion of the global wind power sector. Harnessing
their collective industrial and academic expertise, the authors
provide a comprehensive introduction to wind turbine design and
wind farm planning for onshore and offshore wind-powered
electricity generation.
The major change since the first edition is the addition of a
new chapter on offshore wind turbines and offshore wind farm
development. Opening with a survey of the present state of offshore
wind farm development, the chapter goes on to consider resource
assessment and array losses. Then wave loading on support
structures is examined in depth, including wind and wave load
combinations and descriptions of applicable wave theories. After
sections covering optimum machine size and offshore turbine
reliability, the different types of support structure deployed to
date are described in turn, with emphasis on monopiles, including
fatigue analysis in the frequency domain. Final sections examine
the assessment of environmental impacts and the design of the power
collection and transmission cable network.
New coverage features: turbulence models updated to reflect the
latest design standards, including an introduction to the Mann
turbulence modelextended treatment of horizontal axis wind turbines

of options for variable speed operationin-depth treatment of
individual blade pitch controlgrid code requirements and the
principles governing the connection of large wind farms to
transmission networksfour pages of full-colour pictures that
illustrate blade manufacture, turbine construction and offshore
support structure installation
Firmly established as an essential reference, "Wind Energy
Handbook," Second Edition will prove a real asset to engineers,
turbine designers and wind energy consultants both in industry and
research. Advanced engineering students and new entrants to the
wind energy sector will also find it an invaluable resource.
A study of the Civil War for AS Level History students. It is
designed to fulfil the specifications in place from September 2000.
It provides two sections featuring narrative and explanation of the
topic. There are notes, biography boxes and definitions in the
margin, and summary boxes to help students assimilate the
information. There are also practice questions and hints and tips
on what makes a good answer.
