Environmental Sustainability for Engineers and Applied Scientists

Autor Greg Peters, Magdalena Svanström
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mar 2019
This textbook presents key theoretical approaches to understanding issues of sustainability and environmental management, perfectly bridging the gap between engineering and environmental science. It begins with the fundamentals of environmental modelling and toxicology, which are then used to discuss qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods, and environmental assessments of product design. It discusses how business and government can work towards sustainability, focusing on managerial and legal tools, before considering ethics and how decisions on environmental management can be made. Students will learn quantitative methods while also gaining an understanding of qualitative, legal, and ethical aspects of sustainability. Practical applications are included throughout, and there are study questions at the end of each chapter. PowerPoint slides and jpegs of all the figures in the book are provided online. This is the perfect textbook on environmental studies for engineering and applied science students.

Recenzii

'This book … focuses on the pressing issue of encouraging engineers and applied scientists to consider sustainability in their designs. Hopefully, this text will get into the hands of all engineers and applied scientists who recognize that sustainability is everyone's responsibility, not just for those with 'environmental' in their titles.' B. Bero, Choice

Descriere

Connects a qualitative perspective of environmental management with the quantitative skills used by engineering and applied science students.
