Renewable energy technologies produce many measurable benefits,
such as a clear reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. However, it
is also apparent that these methods of energy production come with
costs. Discussing renewable energy developments within an economic
context, this pertinent Handbook provides a comprehensive view of
the present and future dimensions of renewable energy use. Divided
into six authoritative parts, the Handbook employs economic
evaluation to provide an analysis of the benefits and costs of
renewable energy, allowing authors to extrapolate potential policy
changes. Chapters address the conceptual, methodological and
empirical dimensions of renewable energy, providing a broad
coverage of key topics while maintaining a clear policy-oriented
philosophy. With a structured application of energy economics to
renewable energy issues, this enlightening Handbook will be
beneficial for environmental and energy policy makers. It will also
be an interesting read for academics within such fields as policy
regulation, energy economics and environmental economics.

BOOK OF POETRY FROM LANA DEL REY, VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE
GRASS 'Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of
the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to
me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some
that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the
perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be
anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of
them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was
very authentic. Lana Del Rey Lana's breathtaking first book
solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The
Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many
exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires,
Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa
DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum
and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana's
typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography.
The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the
unguarded spirit of its creator. Violet Bent Backwards Over the
Grass is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word
audiobook which features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems
from the book accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning
musician Jack Antonoff.
