Produktbeschreibung

This is a thorough revision of the 2007 publication, and includes five new chapters and brings all existing chapters completely up to date.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

I recommend this book to all readers who wish to learn more about the economics of hydroelectric power." (Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Interfaces, Vol. 39 (1), January-February, 2009)
