Wind Energy: Societal and Human Impacts presents the theoretical basis for the various impacts of wind turbines on humans. These impacts include noise (in the audible, low-frequency and infrasound ranges), visual effects (shadow flicker and light reflections), electromagnetic fields, vibrations and oscillations from wind turbines, as well as mechanical impacts and physical risk related to turbine collapse or turbine component failure, throwing of ice or blade parts, fires, etc. Further, this book examines the legal framework, policy approaches and investment processes in the wind energy sector. It addresses the issue of siting and minimum distances between turbines and residential buildings and proposes modifications to legislation, as well as guidelines and recommendations related to environmental impact reports for wind farms, assessment of such reports, monitoring of such impacts and the performance of a post-implementation analysis.
A lyrical and moving Polish family saga set against the turbulent backdrop of twentieth-century Europe Lala has lived a dazzling life. Born in Poland just after the First World War and brought up to be a perfect example of her class and generation – tolerant, selfless and brave – Lala is an independent woman who has survived some of the most turbulent events of her times. As she senses the first signs of dementia, she battles to keep her memories alive through her stories, telling her grandson tales of a life filled with love, faithlessness and extraordinary acts of courage. Sweeping from nineteenth-century Kiev to modern-day Poland, Lala is the enthralling celebration of a beautiful life.
Jam Jacek Dydyński, kiedyś szlachcic, polski pan. Teraz banita wyjęty spod prawa! Tyle znaczyłem, co szabla, którą najmowałem za złoto magnatów. Dziś nie mam nic! Dworu, rodziny… Straciłem młodość w zwadach, pojedynkach. Wzgardzony, wyśmiewany, oddaję szablę, co kiedyś służyła hetmanom - na usługi pięknej kurtyzany. Stworzenia – jak mówią - bez duszy. Zabić je - ot jak świecę zgasić. Ja jednak wiem, że to nieprawda… Bo zamieniłem szlachecką fantazję… Na miłość ladacznicy. Dziś zagram o nią w kości z samą panią Śmiercią.
