Beskrivning

This text is devoted to industrial ecology/green engineering. This introduction provides everything instructors need to teach a successful course–including visuals–in one source. The authors use industrial ecology principles and cases to ground the discussion of sustainable engineering, and thus offer practical and reasonable approaches to an otherwise difficult and sometimes otherworldly subject.
