Description
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Handbook of Industrial Ecology 2002 Edition by Robert U. Ayres, Leslie W. Ayres
Industrial ecology is coming of age and this superb book brings together leading scholars to present a state-of-the-art overviews of the subject.Each part of the book comprehensively covers the following issues in a systematic style: * the goals and achievements of industrial ecology and the history of the field* methodology, covering the main approaches to analysis and assessment* economics and industrial ecology* industrial ecology at the national/regional level* industrial ecology at the sectoral/materials level * applications and policy implications.The authors are all experts at the cutting edge of the field and the bibliography alone will prove useful as a comprehensive guide to the literature. This outstanding handbook will be an indispensable reference for students and scholars working in environmental management, industrial ecology and environmental and ecological studies.
