The latest in a series focused on improving health conditions, this volume addresses work environments, bringing together diverse sources of literature that support preventive approaches to work design and organization. This reference provides an overview of relevant literature to engineers, managers, accountants, occupational health and safety specialists, and industrial hygienists, so that they and other professionals can understand what has caused our workplaces to become primary sources of physical and mental illness. By focusing on diagnostic and prescriptive approaches, managers can implement designs and decisions that prevent—or greatly reduce—undesired and harmful effects.Other titles in the series include:Healthy CitiesSustainable ProductionSustainable Energy

This annotated bibliography introduces readers to preventive approaches for making the energy requirements of modern ways of life more sustainable. Since a society can neither create nor destroy energy, all energy is temporarily borrowed from the biosphere and returned to it in degraded form. The activities of a way of life of a society that involve energy flows may be represented as a network for which the biosphere acts as the ultimate source and sink. This network and therefore the energy basis for a modern life style will be sustainable when the biosphere can perform these roles indefinitely. The present bibliography regards the preventive approaches related to energy as a capital component of preventive approaches for improving the sustainability of contemporary civilization. This book, as well as the two companion volumes, Sustainable Production and Healthy Cities, is the result of a twelve-year research project carried out at the Center for Technology and Social Development at the University of Toronto. The research findings led to the development of a new conceptual framework and strategy aimed at converting technological and economic growth into development that would gradually become more sustainable.
