Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Industrial Ecology is a new way of looking at economic and environmental interactions. This is the first textbook available to those interested in learning how to put into practice the idea of performing industrial activities while keeping environmental consequences in check. *Presents practical approaches to designing for the environment. *Presents life cycle assessment methodologies. *Demonstrates how to evaluate one product or process with respect to others. *Highlights prospects for the future. *Contains 85 problems and exercises.
