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

Recenzje

'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.'
