Balancing the economy and the environment-- from the father of systems ecology
Increasing economic dependence on diminishing natural resources has sparked a highly charged debate over the use and fate of the world environment. Environmental Accounting: Emergy and Environmental Decision Making presents a unique method of environmental management based on maximizing real wealth, the whole economy, and the public benefit.
Renowned ecologist Howard T. Odum introduces the concept of emergy to provide a rational alternative to the tug-of-war over the world's most vital assets. Emergy measures the energy put into making a product and is the cornerstone of Odum's revolutionary text. This timely and important book offers key insights into:
- Determining the real value of a product or service
- Transformity, or the relationship between emergy (input) and energy (output)
- Stored wealth, available energy, and the final product
- Balancing economic and environmental needs
